DW tank spec

[zemerrock]

well with 3.3 approaching fast, i'm currently working to move from frost 2h tanking to a DW tanking spec.

this is what i have so far, with my glyph choice currently as well.

what i'm asking here is for some advice as to what i should invest those last 4 points in as well as what weps i should grab before 3.3 goes live.

any other suggestions would also be great too.

Spec and glyphs look pretty keen. Except I would take one point from KM and put it into HC for mass interrupts. Place the last 4 remaining points into BA. Weapons, hmm..., there is not to many great slow tanking weapons for DK. Save the one that drops off 4 horseman (help me out and remind me the name). So your best bet is to wait and see what blizzard has in store for tanking weapons come 3.3 (cause I know for sure with them making dw tanking much more viable they will release slower tanking weapons).


edit* cause i'm a boob and didn't pay attention to what you clearly stated in your post.

You want Epidemic in UH, and Chill of the Grave in frost for the last 4 points.

As for Glyphs, Obliterate is a must have (replace howling blast with that), and personally, I'd take either IT or UA instead of the FS glyph.

You can make UA+BT part of your rotation, which is fairly neat, so improving UA would help noticably (while improved frost fever would be up all the time, I do believe the benefits of an improved UA is better, at least until you hit the armor cap with UA up).

Also, drop HoW glyph and get the raise dead one. It is very useful if you want to sacrifice your ghoul, and you'll be refreshing HoW anyway for RP, so the increased time is rather pointless.

Overall, I have no major gripes with your build. The only thing I might look into tweaking would be dropping 1 point in Scent of Blood so that you can take Deathchill for a free insta crit Howling Blast that could be used at the start of fight and at critical times during the fight for huge snap aggro. I will probably be trying a build similar to this come Patch 3.3 and will be sure to post up my results and some numbers when I do.

This is the build I went with. Its geared around having higher crit chances with your 2 hard hitting moves. And as everyone knows. The more you crit the faster your threat goes. I left out glyph of UA cuz at the time when 3.2 came out that one was bugged or something cuz it only gave another 5% to the talent.

Also this build helps give you that extra bump for hit with spells since some of our moves are spell based. As well as giving you that snap aggro that we all love to have.

As far as the glyphs go. I took FS over HB or UA due to the fact that you will have a better dps/tps return from it since you can spam them more than you normally could do. Rune Strike I took for the extra crit chance. And I have noticed a difference with it bein used. And Oblit is just a givin.

As far as weapons go. Slow weapons. Get a weapon speed of 2.6 or slower for you main hand. And if you have to use a tank weapon for your OH.

For gear hit up this site....http://elitistjerks.com/f72/t44638-s...nking_updated/
