Gear Stats
You’ll want some health and attack rating, don’t take any heal rating at all. Your choices will be limited initially, aim for as much block rating as you can, some penetration rating will also come in handy.

DESCRIPTION

A beginner tanking build, this will work fine in normal mode dungeons and elite mode dungeons but can be made a lot better as you obtain Ability Points. Recommended to personalize and improve the build before heading into nightmare mode dungeons. More Tanking information can be found in this elaborate pink tanking guide!

HOW IT WORKS

This build will work for dungeons, this assumes that you have a healer and preferably 3 dps backing you up.

You as a tank apply exposed, which will make dungeons 30% faster!

Try to spread your defensive cooldowns out a bit, your aim is to maintain hate and to keep yourself from dying for now.

You can use Stunning Swirl to impair special abilities such as Charged Hack.
