about tanking stuff now
Author: admin
prot on live is really about tanking stuff now. its dps is poor and the only good thing about having a dedated healer is youan say “LF3M dps then g2g” when you want to instae. in terms of outdoor, non-elite and non-group quests, you’ll be a lot slower as prot than you will as yoururrent build. roughly about 30% slower (give or take) with sword and board if you want a ballpark figure. dual wielding would be a bit better, but still slower than yoururrent build. its not impossible, but it is slow. on the bright side, youould probably outlast anything short of a 5-man elite quest, and youll be really hard to kill in pvp (but equally powerless to kill anything else). also, dont do non-instae stuff in your tank gear if youre prot. dual wield in a dps set is your best bet. get a good amoung of hit (about 6% should do you while leveling) and use devastate as your main attk. you pretty mh want to spam the hell out of it while in battle or zerker stae while using a ne slow main hand and a fast OH. with enough prte youll get into a good groove andan kill things pretty effiently, if not quite as fast as a fury or arms sp.
go prottion and definitely pk up devastate. put together a good set of fury gear and when you quest, just dual wield and spam devastate. youan do some very dent dps, but you are still gear dependent and it ales with your AP. by the way, you want slowslow weapon speed for your fury set – espially if you’re prot sp. however, stats > speed in the off hand. start with something like this. if you are going to tank most of the time, pk up defltion & improved thundelap, thenruelty. if you will be outside instaes more, getruelty first.
