Tack on an Essence of the Gossamer (easy enough to get) and I think that would give you a fairly decent buffer.
Essentially, yes. I'm going with the melee pvp back and using the drak keep ring and crafted ring/neck. Also using the mgt tank trinket and azjol trinket. Grabbed the staff from heroic UK for the armor and stam.

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

I really dont think this will get nerfed. There is a reason they gave us so many talents to improve our pets as well as buffing heath funnel. I think they wanted us to gain some flexability other than being 100%, all of the time a dps class. I think that from blizz's point of view there is that slim, 1% of the time where we can fill a niche and do things like this.

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

Haven't tried it yet, but collected some gear for it already. It's quite fun sitting in IF with an unbuffed 42k hp Voidwalker; never had so many people whisper me with "wtf" and "holy crap is that normal for a VW?".

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

If your planning on trying this, you may want to do it soon. Looks like some changes maybe coming.

MMO-Champion BlueTracker - Voidwalkers better sarth tanks than warriors?

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

I don't think he means that they will be nerfing the VW. Just that he won't be as good for future raid bosses. We know this though, VW's just does not put out the kind of threat. The only reason it can tank for 3d Sarth is because there is very little threat required for the VW since everyone should NOT be dps'ing him during those crucial phases.

Or at least that's how I'm interpreting his words.

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

If blizz does nerf it I am going to start the biggest rant post you have ever seen in your entire life. It's going to be a freaking novel.

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

I'm praying they don't change anything. I just don't have any faith in blizz of leaving him in the current state of being able to tank fights. I'm sure that when Uldar comes he will not be able to take anything, but as time passes and Locks get gear, he just might be able to pull it off. Just like now, in the beginning the voidy could not tank Sarth 3D, but after Locks get gear and in the right situation it can work. And that is what I see them possibily changing some how in the future.

Re: Voidwalker tanks 3d sarth

Ya I can't see blizz nerfing this. If anything they are loving how the players came up with this. Plus the cost in regemming and enchanting just for this one encounter out weighs the need for any nerfs. Unless VW becomes the only way anyone does this, and you know not all locks are skilled enough to even do this, you won't see a nerf.
