Epic Craftable Tanking Gear

“Easily” obtainable epic craftable gear. Easy as in you can get the pattern and craft it. There’s a nice belt pattern that drops from TK and Serpentshrine. I didn’t list it because it requires BoP drops from those instances to craft. The boots listed are BoP upon craft.

The Nether Vortexes are BoP drops from Serpentshrine and The Eye. The Primal Nethers are BoP drops from end bosses in level 70 instances (low drop rate in normal, 100% drop rate in heroics). Nethers are also available for purchase with 10 heroic badges.

From a paladin perspective mind you, so some of the items have spell damage and int.

[item]Bracers of the Green Fortress[/item]
Best tanking bracers imo (barring any drops from the high level 25-mans). I’m too poor to afford these at the moment, the Attumen bracers will have to do T_T.

[item]Boots of the Protector[/item]
One of if not the best tankadin boots out there. Remember that tier 4 and tier 5 do not include boots.

  • From: 375 BoE Blacksmithing Pattern, Random Serpentshrine and Eye drop.
  • Mats: Primal Nether (2), Hardened Adamantite Bar (4), Primal Water (12)
  • Notes: The pattern itself is BoE, but the item is BoP.


[item]Red Havoc Boots[/item]
These are great too, though I haven’t seen this pattern on my server yet. It really depends on how you have your gear distributed I guess.

[item]Helm of the Stalwart Defender[/item]
1.3k+ armor on a helm o_O. kek I craft these on Proudmoore, just hit me up 😀 $$$.

  • Mats: Hardened Adamantite Bar (8), Primal Earth (22), Primal Mana(12), Primal Nether


[item]Oathkeeper’s Helm[/item]
Not all that great of a raid tanking helm imo. Intellect and mana/5 isn’t all that great, not much stamina, and not much avoidance/mitigation, etc.
