Yes, your health is relatively low, but you don’t really have the dodge or defense (15-20ish extra rating?)to trade into enough stam to equal it out.
You’d be ok tanking Blindeye, he doesn’t hit too hard and he’s usually the first dps target anyway. But you wouldn’t want to MT Maulgar, he crushes for about 6k I believe, roughly half your health. Two of those and you’re flat.
I’d go for about 14-15k health, 29k armor, and 30 dodge before you go for Gruul. His Hurtful Strike would be hitting you for about a half to a third of your current hp with 0 growths, and they stack up pretty quick.
On a side-note, S2 is excellent for tanking, and you can get it as an immediate filler while you wait on Kara badges.
That seem right? I haven’t been feral in forever.-This is my Druid, there are many like him, but this one is mine.The guild I’m in has Kara more or less on farm and is pushing hard to develop the roster for Gruul’s. Since Gruul’s is more or less the 25-man extension of T4 content, I’m thinking that the gear/stat requirements would be relatively similar. Currently in self-buffed bear form, I have 13.5k health, 26.8k armor, 29 dodge, and 423 defense. I can possibly do a bit of re-gemming and up my health at the expense of a bit of dodge and defense, but other than that, there’s very little from the already sparse feral tanking upgrades I could get out of Kara (Moroes trinket, T4 head, upgraded rep ring). I’m not counting badge gear upgrades because most of them would be 3+ weeks away if all I did was run Karazhan.
I’d offer an armory link but I hardly ever log out in bear form which means all you’d likely see is my hodge-podge of caster gear.
So based on those stats, do I still have some tweaking to do, or might I be adequately geared to get my foot in the door for Gruul’s?-In Soviet Eorzea, Beehive Chips sell YOU!!
