It heals 100 health every second for 10 seconds. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16768 It can be purchased from a vendor in Fel Wood.<BR/><BR/>In general though, I think I'd probably look at getting trinkets that have major +Stamina instead (and possibly Defense and Armor).<BR/><BR/>For example, the Argussian Compass from Heroic Underbog gives +36 Stamina and On Use: Reduces damage from each attack by 68, up to a total of 1150 damage absorbed. Lasts 20 sec. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27770<BR/><BR/>I loved hearing about your experiences!

I was getting sick of no tanks in AV and mobs snap aggro to everyone. I started getting bored of wow and decided to start stacking stamina along with obtianing most of my arena/pvp gear. I ended up with about 11.1k HP unbuffed, 25% dodge and 350 reslience (all pre-kara gear). Wore my self healing trinket "Mark of ConQuest" and the AV trinket for 8hp per 5 sec +dodge rating. With this I can take a beating from all the elites/mobs up to Van. Most healers will usually heal me, one is usually enough, even tanking an elite and a non elite. As for bal, evasion tank mid fight works well, but dont even need to if I have more than one healer on me. As for the last boss (Van or Drek) he hits me for about 5k plus. Evasion tanking last 15 sec which I usually dodge almost everything, then multiple healers have to overheal the crap out of me since Van can 2 shot me. I can pretty much get 1st in dmg unless there is a dps class with raid gear. I can mantain aggro pretty easy since sword/bliknstrike/mongoose procs very often for me and my weapons pretty much always have a haste bonus, OH usually below 1.00. But ya that was my experience, but I'm sure tanking instances/heroics are a bit harder than AV, I just wanted to be self reliant and not depend on crappy tanks in AV. Season 3 gear will add even more stats to what I already have so I will become even easier.<BR/><BR/>Next for me is probably getting that old Darkmoon card Heroism combining it with Mark of ConQuest, and dual Battlemaster enchants, talent to lower evasion CD and become a self healing rogue. And before anyone says anything about me doing this, its just a game I'm getting bored and experimenting around with things for FUN.<BR/><BR/>Any sugesstions to my setup or recommendations on self healing trinkets/gear?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
