I'm passed the Def Cap. Should I switch out some gear?

Post by tylrdiablos

My Def Rating currently stands at: 559 so I'm wondering if I should drop a little bit of that to make
room for some more stamina.
(My health stands at around 22700. Am saving up 40 badges for the Waist item.))

Here's my Armoury.

And here's my list of "spare's" I've collected over the past week or so:
Helm: The Crusaders' Resolution
Gloves: Gauntlets of Vigilance
Wrist: Bracers of Reverance
Head: Arcane Shielded Helm
Cloak: Cloak of the Enemy

I have access to the Argent Crusader + Sons of Hodir rep rewards for enchants etc if
the replacement gear needs them. (Current gear already has them.)

I guess my ultimate goal is to get into as many heroics as possible. Sadly my server judges
DK's on their health total and not anything else.
Any and all advice is welcome.

Thanks.

Hmm the armory link wouldnt work for me but heres some advice anyway...

559 def is WAAAY overcapped you must have alot of def rating that you can switch out for stam and avoidance...

whatever defence gems you have in your gear you really should switch out for stamina gems me myself i am comming on to 31000 hp unbuffed with 52% avoidance in combat...

you should aim to keep your defence at as close to 540 as possible and over if you have to.

although the crit cap for heroics is 535 its best to stay crit capped for if you ever feel like raiding and 22k hp is pretty low you could probably pump that up to 24k with gems and such

Gem for stamina and/or avoidance if you havent already. Your first upgrade choices should be to swap out high defense rating items for high avoidance or stamina items.

Example - most of the deathknight tier 7 tanking set has low defense but high stam/avoidance... swap out some of your gear for those.
