Edge of Ruin

Take marrowstrike, agility, extra stam, room for 30+ stam socket.

Of the two I used Marrowstrike, the agi was dodge and armor for some avoidance and mitigation, along with the socket for extra stamina, while Edge of Ruin had a slight parry return and stamina on it. Threat-wise, Edge of Ruin is probably better, but for avoidance/mitigation/EH, go with Marrowstrike.

And yes, the parry rating given from Edge of Ruin may be superior to the dodge gained through agility, but your parry will hit diminishing returns much faster than your dodge will because of the same ability linked previously.

edge for more tps.

marrowstrike is better for a tank. edge is better for dps. if you have threat issues you suck sorry to say it, blood threat is not an issue at all.

Out of the choices I would choose Edge sheerly for the fact that my DK tank is an Orc so i get 5 free exp. If that weren't an issue I would select Marrowstrike.

TPS is WAY overrated. If you aren't losing threat, you don't have an issue. As for forceful deflection, you need somewhere around 400 strength for 1% parry.

Marrowstrike gives you far more EH. Go with it.

Marrowstrike for tanking, Edge of Ruin for DPS.

Proving TOTC is hard.

Who thought a 5 mn was hard?

Actually Blood TPS IS an issue if you don't have armor debuffs on the boss.. It really depends on how well your dpsers are geared and how well they play..

Even without armor debuffs, blood threat isn't really an issue. We run with 10% baseline armor ignore through blood gorged and get that nice little healing threat bonus.

In 5s, 10s, and 25s (Though I honestly can't think of many 10/25 situations where you DON'T have some form of sunder), I have never had threat issues.
