I've found my warrior's purpose

I've been gearing up my paladin for heroic tanking and it's frustrating. It seems pretty easy to stack stam OR defense, but not both. Luckily, I have a Ret spec and some of our guild tanks will run me through for some more necessary gear. I'd look into the JC neck and ring, and the BS boots and helm, then you'll at least be in 1/2 purples.

I guess I'm fortunate in that I've never been booted for being an ungeared tank, but I don't have a tank main spec on either of my 80s so I'm usually running as dps or heals. Grats on the pants though. There's a pally tank in my guild that farmed heroic VH what seemed like forever for those. He ended up getting his T7 first.

When I join a pug I usually take whatever I get. It might be a pain, but I figure it's the best way to learn what you're really made of. The only thing I'm leery of when I'm healing heroic pugs is a tank that's not defense capped. It's possible to get defense capped in blues, so I find it incredibly irresponsible when someone doesn't.

It's probably possible to get away with it in WotLK, but I still remember the TBC heroics which could easily chew through a tank under the def cap.

@Fish: Don't worry about the stam. I did VH and Nexus with less than 20k. I'm gradually building up gear from what I can make. My first BS piece was the epic helm. As I get more orbs I'll make the boots next.

@Hana: My paladin did early heroics under the cap, but that was before people started asking about it.
