Wotlk - ICC - Pit of Saron (PoS) - Forgemaster Garfrost

Yes, pretty much identical, except that most boxer tanks dont have 52.5k health ;-)

I could easly add almost 200 stam pre talents to your tank, just by regemming. You would sit at around 37k, my base in that ss was right around 39(39.6 iirc), that plus drums, scroll, flask and pally buffs would put you very close to 50k, and this is what i did.

there you go 37k, your toon just changed the belt,. the one that i used is really cheap to make now, with your old belt you were at 36.7 or something close to that.

with exacly your amount of stam, +all buffs, but my locks imp/flask and food i ended up at 42.8k, another 1660 for imp, 1300 for flask and 40 from food, after talents you will have right around 47k =D

You guys got me all worried reading this thread, so I went in there and put on my cold resist gear that I used to use for naxx, and let me tell you - with 300 plus frost resistance, this fight is a total joke.

Yeah I figured that out too last night, but my tank is the only one who had the frost gear. Glad I have crafting mats stacked up!

Even so, your tank is much better geared, and we're still talking a 5-6k difference, and that's just the hitpoints, not counting other mitigation (which for that fight is not really important, but still) :-) Add to that the fact that your shammies/lock is also way better geared than the average boxer.

It's sort of like the heroics at the beginning of wrath - some encounters posed significant challenges when we were in blue gear, but when you totally outgear the instance you can just faceroll through (not to say that's what you did though!). Group composition has say also - again, until we outgear the instance of course.

Actually my gear isnt as good as you think, going by gs, my 2 shamans are 4400, lock is just a tick over 5k, my pally is 5219, and my main(shaman) is 5387, other than my main and maybe the pally, a boxer can easily obtain 5k gs in a day or two of farming heroics. Other than 2 toons we're even, so i guess your are also way more geared than most boxers?
Your pally actually has some stats that are better than mine too, more dodge, 7% more block, more expertise etc.
I'm pretty sure by end of next week You and other boxers will overgear my toons as 4 of my accounts are canceled and i haven't boxed for weeks.

I have no idea what my gearscore is, but yes, I'm probably more geared than the average boxer, since I'm wearing mostly conquest and ToC items plus a level 226 crafted and some triumph gear. Which is exactly my point - the fight isn't trivial even with good gear, so for most it'll pose a very significant challenge
