Expected Warrior stats for level 85 raiding

October 19, 2010 at 12:33 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Zarko has put together a spreadsheet estimating tank stats at level 85 when well-geared and raid buffed.  Here’s what warriors can expect to have:

  • 46784 armor (36432 without Devotion Aura)
  • 3316 strength
  • 7625 stamina
  • 2329 dodge rating
  • 688 parry rating (I believe this does not include 829 rating from strength)
  • 1967 mastery rating
  • 634 agility
  • 728 ‘other’ rating (eg, hit, expertise)
  • 7 gem sockets

In terms of avoidance, he calculates that these will yield 14% dodge, 12% parry, 56% block and 5% miss.

Due to how mastery scales, making choices about whether to gear for mastery or other stats is not always straightforward.  I’m currently working on a small calculator to help with such decisions.  Zarko’s gear profile should be helpful for that project.
