Stamina isn't everything...

A tank friend of mine is upset because tanks in blues have more health than he does.  He’s a bear and has pretty good health, at least in my estimation, but his dodge is over 42%.  I see lesser geared tanks quite frequently who have more health than I do as well, and on some level it also bothers me.  Most of these tanks have stacked stamina above ALL else [and in at least one case that included defense].

Yes, stamina IS a very important stat to stack as a tank, but it’s not the only thing.  You can have all the stamina possible in the game and no mitigation/avoidance and take massive damage that the healers can’t heal fast enough.  And I’m not going to even address the consequences of being a tank who isn’t defense capped…

Defense, expertise, Dodge, Parry, Strength [or agility for a bear tank], hit, stamina – all are very important to the balance of tanking because a balance of relevant stats for your class is ESSENTIAL to being the best tank you can possibly be.
