    Lavawalker vs 50 Mastery

    At the moment i am using the mastery enchant for my boots. But alot of other DK's seem to run lavawalker. Is it actually better to have a minor speed increase instead of more mastery, or should i just use my mastery enchant and then glyph bone shield?

    Depends on the fight, i'd say lavawalker but some might disagree

    typically run speed increase is something that cannot be gained from other sources and is difficult to put a value on.
    given the small difference in mastery vs the possible higher uptime on what you're tanking or moving out of stuff you should be using lavawalker

    normally you play in uh presence, so you don't benefit from lavawalker.

    Would be bothersome getting crit in UH and keeping aggro.

    I personally play all tank classes, not all seriously but i know how to tank on all of them
    On my paladin i will never skip the Pursuit of justice talent on other chars i will simply get Lavawalker

    25 mastery vs 15% run speed...
    On some fights its nice to be somewhere faster, in most cases you dont need the 15% but overall its nice to have

    it is 8% running speed as with any other minor movementspeed source.

    assuming the topic is meant to be about blood tank, then i myself would go with lavawalker. however the run speed isn't really needed in any fight in dragonsoul, especially not with boneshield glyphed. its just personal preference.

    Unless you want to swap enchants each boss I think Lavawalker is the most solid choice, just because you will hardly notice the 15 mastery, while on the other hand you will notice being slow if you have to move.

    Cant tank things if your dead becouse you where a split second too slow in getting into postion.
    Lavawalker, Allways.

    It's actually only a 15 mastery difference

    and lavawalker, always. the run speed is far more valuable overall than 15 mastery

    I prefer running with Earthen Vitality, that 8% speed is just far too valuable at times.
