Tanking Projects

Feeling a slight surge in interest in tanking again. My experiments with a Holy/Protection hybrid build for Ulu were fine, but ultimately it causes me to sacrifice more health than he can really afford to whilst raiding. To this end I've went to a 10/41/10 build that gives Spiritual Focus (a must for any PVP healer) whilst allowing me Deflection, which allows me to shift some of my Block gear back to Stamina. Currently, Ulu has 14k Armor and 12.5K health. This is respectable, but it could be improved if the current week's Kara is in anyway good to him.

Current projects for Ulu include getting his Blacksmithing up to 375 and collecting the Furies Deck so Ulu can get an imba tanking trinket. As well as that, he's slowly acquiring Arena points at an average rate of around 250 a week. He's just broken the 1k mark, so it's going to be another 3-4 weeks before he can afford the shield.

In terms of drops, as well as some of the nice Kara tanking items, I'd really love Ulu to get his hands on the T4 tanking shoulders. As it stands, they're better than the T5 ones and the avoidance would allow Ulu to wear the gloves he already has. Together, the spelldamage and the two-piece set bonus would give him a substantial boost in the threat department.
