Hello,
I was wondering why the Dark Iron Helm wasn't on this list, even perhaps at the top because of its huge amounts of armor and stam.
My more theoretical question is: how do you select and prioritize items? Have you some spreadsheet or do you use some stats weights or values?
Thank you for the answer.
Your more then welcome to use that for tanking if that is what you find is the best for you, as for BiS, it's weighted based on the available stats used against other while maintaining a close to 440 Def as possible for tanking. Since the Dark Iron Helm feature a Fire Resistance it's considered BiS for FR gear, but not for Tanking even though it has considerable Stamina on it.
You have to remember this is Vanilla, not retail, Def Matters a lot here.
A green item with 21 Stamina vs a Blue item with 10 Stamina and 10 Def, the blue item wins based on the DEF top priority (if your in need of DEF, which normally you are).
Lets weight that vs a Green item with 13 DEF, vs a blue item with 15 Stam, 3 Def. You want again the blue since def may be the priority, but You want stam to come a long ways. This can be contradicted since if your in serious lack of def, but have considerable Stamina, you may save the green item with 13 def for boss fights to come closer to the Def mark.
PS - I apologize in advance for the mess, it's early in the morning for me and I haven't taken the time to clean up this post.
