STR into PLD 30? 15 STR/ 15 VIT?

Going below 9k as a t13 mt is a bit suicidal, keep it at 9k+.
Overall though, going 30/30 STR is getting more out of bonus stats, since STR weights a bit more than VIT.

I roll with 8500 no problem. A few weeks ago I died from the last DB and made it through weakness during the final phase sub 7500. Its all about experience and your healers.

8500 give you massive room for error once you have the fight on farm.

There is no combo that does over 8000k damage. The biggest hit is Twister plus Breath which totals around 7500 max but since twister doesn't interrupt casting you can have SS up for both hits.

Flatten and Ahk both have mitigation rotations to make them zzzz. Squeezing out extra DPS makes the fight even easier. Every Ahk or Flatten you skip helps make the fight even easier.

I have 10094 hp on Paladin and sometimes I will die from flame breath randomly from not being healed, and twister+breath during the earthshaker twister. So there is basically no way I would even think about going for 8k

Er. That seems like it would have less to do with the amount of hp you have and more to do with the amount of healing you are receiving. Dying from not being healed after a big hit isn't random at all...

Nothing random about bad healers or not putting SS up yourself for twister and breath.

10k is obnoxious and is gimping you big time.

Wait..how exactly? At this point its e-peen waving, not making the fight easier.
And on the remark about experience, id wager i have more than you do on 13.
In the combo you are describing you also have to take 1 hit from the shaker in order to intercept the tether.
And, unless your dps is chewing snot, you should be skipping 5th akh morn even as a 10k hp paladin at this point.

um......no?

I'm not a raid tank but ive been keeping my hp around 7.5k for dungeon runs, changing out my stat allocation and accessories when I can to slaying,

I could go full melded crafted but don't feel the need.

so if your only dungeon tanking theres lots of room to change things out.


if your raid tanking follow the advice given here and other threads cus there is plenty people who know what they are talking about and give good advice.
