Re: The Faceguard of Determination

Since both Galoheart and Alystira have asked about it, I loved my Faceguard of Determination for the longest time. It has a quite silly amount of Defense, Block and Dodge ratings, which makes it amazing for attaing Uncrushability, along with a solid amount of Stamina and decent Socket bonuses. It's only been in the last couple of months that I've been able to seriously consider replacing it in my raid-tanking gear. Of course it was one of the few decent tanking rewards from badges pre-2.3. It's worth it if you're hurting for uncrushability, which I guess you both will be at this point, but it just feels a bit meh for 50 badges compared to the new, shiny T5-quality stuff.

As for Alystira's other uncrushability concerns, there's two bits of gear that'll help you immesurably. First up is Andormu's Tear which you should have already. It's got no Stamina true, but Uncrushability is worth more than an extra 2-300 health. The other is Figurine of the Colossus which may take a few Shattered Halls runs to get, but you absolutely should get it. Not only is Shattered Halls incredible fun as a Tankadin, but the trinket offers about 4% towards uncrushability.
