Tanking gear spreadsheet

Recommended Posts

Recently I made spreadsheet with available gear to help me calculate stats and optimize gear I'm using or will use in future.

Hope someone find it helpful.

Happy Tanking ^^

Very well done , just you are missing our threats weapon , because we want Spell Damage weapon for more aggro or Thunderfury .

Wraith Blade > The End of Dreams > Thunderfury > Lok'Amir > Azuresong Mageblade > Bloodcaller > Ironfoe > Flurry Axe > whatever ?

/Kind regards Killerduki

Yeah you really can't group all gear into 1 list.   I'd recommend like Duki suggested have 2 different list for weapons.   Threat per second, and Survivability weapon. You can swap mid combat as the situation best sees fit.

You should make 4 pages on your spreadsheet.  A DEF capped list with +130 def (assuming anticipation specced) and high stam, an Aoe Tanking set with +block % as your prio stat, a max mitigation set, and an overall set.

Also for gear -

 Neck slot    Steadfast Determination > Shifting Sands in all situations.  

Shield - Blessed Qiraji Bulwark > The Plague Bearer unless tanking Sapp or KT (especially for pally due to not being able to push crushing blows off the table.

Cloak - Cloak of the Golden Hive > Sand Storm Cloak in 50% of your gear sets (Sand Storm better in Max Mitigation/AoE sets, but Def cap and Single target threat set Golden Hive is better. Overlords Embrace > Rebout Cloak except for AoE (Except in Max mitigation/AoE sets)

Rings - Overlords Crimson Band > Heavy Dark Iron Ring (Except in Max Mitigation set)

Many gear slots will alternate based off these 4 situations that you'll encounter.   There is very limited "this is best" items for all situations.   Having the top item in all your sections doesn't make you the best geared tank.   Having the best gear for the correct situation (and known when to use it) is what separates the good from the great.

Hey killerduki I didn't put +SpellDmg or threat weapons and armour except Ironfoe which i think is preBiS weapon you can get.

As I said I was using this sheet to calculate stats (mostly defensive stats) so the list is not in BiS order because you can choose any row(gear) and SUM it as you like, but yeah better gear is higher to the top and less good gear or starting preBiS is on or near to the bottom of the list. Feel free to copy sheet and SUM items you want or like the most so you can get total stats you will get from that gear.

I think you should aim at total of +116Def(116+14ZG+10talents=140) and than combine rest of the items as you prefer.
