L60 Resistances, Armor and +Defense

[The Zrogfather]

As rottenheart asked in another thread, how does a L60 warrior get to 300 Fire Resist?

My answer: Dark Iron gear, plus Greater Fire Protection potions.

Apparently, getting to 8000 armor isn't all that hard, since the difference between the L50 blue that you thought was good and the L58+ blue that you might pickup in the near future is usually about 100-200 armor more, with much better stats. Multiply 200 x 8 pieces, plus an extra 400 or so armor when you get a decent shield (over 2000 armor right there), gives you 2000 more armour. I don't know about the rest of you, but Zrog has over 6100 armor right now (1h/shield), so I'm sure 8000 is not that hard to achieve, given time.

+ defense items: Collect them. Someday, you will need them to avoid crits from upper-level bosses, who will otherwise wipe you out!

mine is at 6000+ with 1h

i havent seen any super armors at the ah in a long time so i guess i will have to run the instances a lot more to get what i need

Here's how to max your fire resist... although someone else in another post claimed that +Def is more important.

However...
=========================
Simply the best for MC and Onyxia. [Speaking of Dark Iron Helm]
758 armor on HEAD, is more than 98% of the CHEST pieces in the game, lol
20 stamina is very good, and +35 fire resist is GODLY.

Get the full dark iron set (its 140 fire resist in all =/), kick in the +60 fire aura, the +40 for the librams of resilience.

Get Drakefire Amulet (+15), 2 rings that give around 19, 20 fire resist. The Royal seal trikent (+10), the fire radiator thing (+18).
Add the +5 fire resist for mantle on the shoulders.

I think you wil be completely immune to fire by then, no? ;D
