An official warrior week?

Seeing as how there's absolutely no tank gear droping in Molten Core, with the freak fluke incident exception of one, we should probably get together as a guild to gear up some of the lesser-geared warriors. They really need it. Running greens to Garr (with the exception of Stalwart Clutch and Desert Wind Gauntlets) is devastating. Some of the warriors are taking massive hits and very often.

Let's get them geared. Here are some pieces of loot that they should have (if they don't have better):

CLOAK: +7 DEF/15 STA: Redoubt Cloak: http://thottbot.com/?i=36081
CHEST: +10 DEF/22 STA: Ornate Adamantium Breasplate: http://thottbot.com/?i=17848 (+100 HP to chest)
BELT: +8 DEF/12 STA: Stalwart Clutch: http://thottbot.com/?i=4969
FEET: *: +5 DEF/21 STA: *Crystal Encrusted Greaves: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52071 (+7 stamina enchant)
LEGS: *: +9 DEF/13 STA: Cenarion Reservist Legplates: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52070
GAUNTLETS: *: +6 DEF/10 STA: Desert Wind Gauntlets: http://thottbot.com/?i=52033
BRACERS: *: +3 DEF/14 STA: Bracers of Heroism: http://thottbot.com/?i=53156 (+9 stamina)
SHIELD: +10 DEF/7 STA: Draconian Deflector: http://thottbot.com/?i=18989 (+7 stamina)
HELMET: +7 DEF/18 STA: Golem Skull Helmet: http://thottbot.com/?i=7381
PAULDRONS: +6 DEF/12 STA: Bulky Iron Spaulders: http://thottbot.com/?i=35751

This is a total of +71 defense. That is a huge improvement.

Unbuffed stats:

371 Defense
4329 Health

FREE SLOTS FOR STAMINA STACKING: Neck Slot, Ring Slot 1, Ring Slot 2, Weapon, Gun

Suggested rings:
Naglering (+10 STAMINA, +5 DEFENSE, +50 ARMOR): http://thottbot.com/?i=5297
Band of the Ogre King (+14 STRENGTH, +13 STAMINA): http://thottbot.com/?i=35820

Suggested weapon(s):
Timeworn Mace (+7 STRENGTH, +11 STAMINA): http://thottbot.com/?i=35823
Axe of Rin'ji (+5 AGILITY, +11 STAMINA): http://thottbot.com/?i=6222

Suggested Necklaces:
Master Sergeant's Necklace (+17 STAMINA, +7 SPIRIT): http://thottbot.com/?i=35811
Strength of Mugamba (+7 STRENGTH, +10 STAMINA, +4 DEFENSE): http://thottbot.com/?i=51834

Suggested Gun: Carapace Spine Crossbow (+4 AGILITY, +9 STAMINA): http://thottbot.com/?i=37177

Let's say you took this defense setup with the naglering, band of the ogre king, timeworn mace, master sergeant's insignia and carapace spine crossbow. What do you come up with? This:

376 Defense, 4969 unbuffed HP, 6345 unbuffed armor.

Good? Way better. We need requirements of 370 defense and 4700 unbuffed HP on warriors soon. Now you still have 2 TRINKET slots that aren't in use. Some good trinkets to go for are:

Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas (+200 ARMOR, +10 FIRE RESISTANCE): http://thottbot.com/?i=38395
Force of Will (+7 DEFENSE): http://thottbot.com/?i=5163

If you take those, you'll be up to 383 defense and 6545 armor while still remaining at 4969 unbuffed hp (still good!).

Of course every class wants their own week, and its a fun idea.

But honestly, the Warrior week is THE most important one and the one we all should be excited for. While everyone's role in MC is important, the Main Tanks' gear situation is affecting us the most specifically. If we can keep our tanks up longer everyone else can do their job better.

We need to remember to step outside our own selfishness (I'm talking to myself first here)and realize that when our tanks get geared up, it is a positive effect for all 40 ppl in the raid. Everyone's gear is important for the overall raid, but the tanks is a primary one Especially our tanks that are regular attenders to raids. When we see "Might" drop we should all feel good inside because the whole team just scored!

So lets try to fight the class envy and hook up our meat shields with some gear!

Wow, it's so cool to see somebody else post a research article on the forums. Makes me feel more at home after posting my lengthy lists of level 48 Hunter PvP gear.

True. Weird stats, but it's actually not that bad for tanking. You gotta get a lot of stamina from other slots though, but yeah, that could actually be farmed easier than most of this.

I see what you trying to say Mirakle but I think everyone deserve a reward for helping. Maybe some gold or free enchants. I really think we need more positive reinforcers to encourage more people in our guild to be more helpful. If they can get something out of it then all that helping was worth something. MC is very fun but at the same time I like make some progress while I'm there. I know its a selfish thing to say, but its real easy not to worry about your own needs when your character already has a good amount of gear and epic mount. If I had these things already there would be no for desire or greed. But I really don’t know to play a game where one person gets all the glory and no way can it be shared. I just say hey congrats on that but I am still left empty. Well maybe things will get better with time and patches. For now I will continue on my priest, a class I love so much and maybe could make me a better player. Sorry if I said anything that sounded rude in anyway.
 
Well the thing is that everyone who participates will get something. A huge amount of purple items have already been given out from our MC runs. It is just a matter of participating and being patient for your chance to bid on an item.

What this Warrior week is about, is getting our "Raiding" main tanks gear from "other then MC" runs. Because 1) their gear is not dropping in MC and 2) the main tank plays a huge part on affecting the whole 40 ppl.

It is just the way that raids work in WoW, the main tanks are always the first priority in getting loot because of the way it impacts all the other players. Probably the Priests are next, but luckily we have some heavily geared priest running with us.

There is also something to be said about participation vs priority. If my Raid participation is <10% and the guild/team goes out of their way to gear me up, is that really helping the Raid Team?

Also, if you wait for your class items to drop, by the time they do drop, youll have 435639006987 dkp. (Atleast thats the way the Mages are headed right about now.)
 
Please don't hate Gnome for wanting to help the Warriors, or be jealous of the warriors. If you want a rogue week, or a Pally week, look in the mirror for somebody to run it. Gnome has put alot of time into figuring out what items would be the best for tanks to get and he is running groups through the instances non-stop.
 
Ummmmm sorry guys I was really just joking about the paladin week thing. I think our guild can only make an invincible army one step at a time, and we all with get our chance. That’s why I'll play my priest till my chance comes. Rewards will come to those who work hard, even if they never expected it. In fact if we do work on making the warriors much stronger and go to the next class will this change the very difficulty of MC? I would love to get better gear for anyone if the instance becomes much easier. That a good way to put it. If it is true that better gear can make things easier (probably still hard in MC though) then maybe that is a good reward I love to get. You know, why do I need good gear when there always people around to help ya. There is some nice stuff in this game but I guess it was meant to be admire and feel good that someone there with this stuff protecting you and maybe making thing easier. I guess I kind of get it now, sorry if I had the wrong impression at first. I think its better for our great tanks to be our wall and protect us from the terrible damage you can get in MC. Yeah come on guild! Let’s build us some strong tanks! ;)

Unfortunately I may still have to sit out this effort since my boss at work wants me to come in more often but good luck guys.
