Hi all,

Hoping some of you experienced warriors could lend me a hand on my Hybrid Tank build. I plan to lvl solo in much of the Outlands and grind Apollux to 70 a week or two before the WotLK expansion. Can you give me suggestions on my current build? I'd like to tank Ramps, BF, UB, and such as I lvl but have enough DPS where I can grind mobs at a decent clip. Here's a link to Apollux's Armory (he is lvl 60 now):

I plan to complete the "Drill the Drillmaster" quest before I hit ramps and get the Battlemaster's Breastplate first: http://thottbot.com/i31720. (Update - Gimlich [Neil] helped me out and I now have it).

I have a decent lvl 58 (Adamantine Kite Shield) shield that dropped for me in HP as well.

Your suggestions would be most welcome!

if u goingot level as a dps and tank once in awhile u got enough in tanking and in the right spots to tank anything thats not heroic. then it comes to arms vs fury. either works it all about the gear and hit rating it takes 90 hit rating at 70 to miss 1% as an arms warrior and 225 when fury. so make sure u watch the gear for hit. the other thing str then agi then stam for gear.
 
I would try and find Kasiem in-game. I'm pretty sure he levelled mostly prot with some fury so he should be able to give you some specific tips.
 
I tanked with lexyus all the way up to Kara, full Dw fury.
The pre kara stuff is not hard. You could just put together a tanking set with lots of stam.
 
Yeah I was going to mention that I've heard several people say that warriors can tank non heroics with pretty much any build, it's all about gear and technique.

Although that theory wouldn't do much for me, as I'm leveling 2h arms, so my 1h skill is at 1/225 atm lol!
 
One thing to point out is that now (3.02), prot warriors should have considerably higher DPS than before. Bliizard hopes to make leveling-screwed warriors a thing of the past.
 
Thanks for all of the advice and potential good news [Neirai]. My current talent build seems to be working well. With Mike and Chris D's help I successfully (no wipes) tanked UB last night. I am getting drops that are fury warrior vs. tank as well and building a set for each.

I'm going to most likely continue with this hybrid build (throwing every other point into Prot.) until Apollux hits lvl 80.
