Bye-bye Defense Worries.

So last night we entered into a fresh SSC. As has been normal for CD since the year dot, our progress is pretty much two steps forward, one step back. Last night we killed Hydross and Lurker and then spent the rest of the run wiping on Leotheras, losing DPS to dumb mistakes and healers to their inner demons.

Still, on the plus side, Ulu won the Scarab of Displacement from Hydross, which has pretty much replaced his Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch. I feel a little dumb buying another avoidance trinket when I'm pretty much planning on farming a Commendation of Kael'Thas to replace my Avoidance trinkets next patch. Ah well, if nothing else, the Scarab helps me out with the lack of Defense on my current gear.

In my Boss Tanking set, I'm currently sitting on about 4% above uncrushability, which means I can afford to lose the massive amount of Block Rating on my Unwavering Legguards for a lesser amount of Dodge on the Inscribed Legplates of the Aldor.

Grats on the trinket and good to hear you have opened up more options when it comes to loot.

I had a worry last night in TK, I hadnt paid attension to where my tanking stats were for a couple weeks and I ran the 'uncrush macro' and noticed I was actually slightly below uncrushable when unbuffed! Scared me a bit becuase I didnt notice but it seems getting my belt of the guardian did it.

I really need an avoidance trinket to drop for me (Looking at your Moroes or Hydross) to push me back up. Think at the weekend I'm going to have to take a look at possible future upgrades and see if they are going to help or hinder me.

I don't worry about being slightly under uncrush unbuffed, since in any crushing situation, you'll probably be raid buffed anyway. Aim for uncrush with Kings and you'll normally be fine.
