How did you gear up for heroics??

[Zzyzxx71]

When I initially got my guys 80 what I did was not try and do complete instances, just do the bosses I was capable of doing. There's no shame in leaving an instance incomplete.

Slowly but surely you'll build up badges... next thing you know you'll have 5+ instances on farm. Currently I don't have enough time in the evening to do all the instances I have on farm.

I geared my guys by pugging Naxx raids... individually. Also my guild is a boxing friendly raiding guild, so I would regularly 2 or 3 box toons in our naxx 10 runs, and got geared fairly quickly. I also ran a lot of regular 80 5 mans, and got some craftable epics for my tank. Now, even my DPS have more than 20k HP, fully buffed, My shaman is in mostly pvp gear and has like 23k hp. Tank is nearly 40k hp buffed. Heroic HoL isnt too bad either, except the last 2 bosses, Ionar is a major PITA, an Loken can be tough if you dont have lots of AoE healing.

Just farm the ones you know you can kill every day, and start getting badge gear upgrades. The T8 Helm and Chest are very good quality, much better than any heroic drops, by far, and you can get them all at once. Also, try to do the regular daily, and the heroic daily, more badges, rep and gold. The badges from the heroic daily get you even better rewards, so definately save up on those, maybe even hold off for an upgraded item in a slot that is covered by the Triumph badges.

I've been using my level 80 main team to run my bear tank through ToC since level 75, he's going to have a nice set when he gets to 80. I suggest you stick with instances you think are easy. for me Culling of Strat and Draktharon have to be the easiest.... although Gundrak would be on my list. I sure hated Gundrak when I was just starting out though.

A bit of a necro, but thanks, Ugh. I took a look at your bear. I'm going to be gearing up some of my druids for tanking purposes here soon. Looks like it's lots of Stamina and Agility. I won't be able to get all of the gear that you have just yet, but are there any other stats I should worry about?

I know we don't need Defense, if talented correctly, but hit, crit, penetration, etc... Any sort of priority for these stats? I'm quite a noob when it comes to tanking.

Stamina, Hit(till 263), Agility, Dodge, Expertise, Strength.

Ran Tank through Naxx 10, 25 and geared him up before that I was doing heroics not as much since its hard as heck, but after Tank was at 29k and def cap I started downing Heroics, Gun first, then DTK, UK, UP, still need to down HoL and HoS. Nexus I hate so I dont do it.

I found Culling of Stratholme to be an easy heroic to do. Just don't worry about trying to rush for a drake mount.
