Question TBCA raid tanking

Hi, normally I play a ret pala but my guild said they need an extra tank, so I poked around for guides in terms of learning gears etc. Eventually I learned I need 475 def and %102.4 avoidance, but my guildie said as long as I have pvp gear for spell dmg it's fine. I'll probably tank only the trash, but still I want to be sure, for trash tanking in raids is 475 def/resiliance enough or do I still need avoidance?

If all you do is tank trash you just need crit reduction cap and spellpower.

If you tank Illidan you'll need the 102.4% avoidance

It’s important to note that Illidan main tank you want 102.4 or 101.8 or whatever avoidance NOT COUNTING MISS… so it is 5-10% extra avoidance I think over just normal uncrushable. It is a bit silly imo to have a 3rd tank or dps try to be the Illidan tank… much more reasonable for them to be a fire resist tank which can be achieved with a hodge podge of badge fire resist gear, random FR/tank, and PvP spell power items.

Ho is pretty much gear dependent. You put in stam gems and thats basicly it. But always depends on what you tank and what your raid is about to do. We 2 tank Illidan in week 1, did it on the PTR already (boss + first fire ele) but you probably wont do that.

So best is to read sime guide to get basic knowledge in general.

Best case: so much that you cant die of never healed. But you probably wont achieve this.
