DK tanking spec
Ello there, for those who don`t know me all that well i`m the irritating macro addictive gnome at heart Someone and i made a Dk gnome.
I want to start tanking as a DK when i hit lvl 80 as i`ve done it before in unholy specc many times before in normal instances and found it alot of fun ( strange i hook up with a group as dps but i seem to out tank the tank each time due to my dps output and my imba HP and armour ( for my lvl ).
So now i ask you forum trolls and all you experianced Dk players if you`ve seen a really nice DK tanking spec and could post a nice specc for me if it`s not too much trouble.
It would be very much apreciated.
Sincerely
Someone lvl 70 gnome warlock
Somebody lvl 70 shammie
Everyone lvl 79 Gnome DK
All hail the Chaos Lord.
And to Zordon: Superblah!
P.s. and wow i just saw that i`m a member of Vigilantes for 3 years and 2 weeks now

There are as i think 2 viable tanking speccs now ( that i recomend ) i'm posing only 2h speccs since that is what i currently play with and keep track on, ontop of that i still feel that 2h works better then dual wield for dk tanking. However if you feel strongly about DW that you rather want to do that, then that's ofc possible. there are a massive amount of discussions on the net atm regarding 2h vs. DW for tanking. both got their prons and cons. It's down to what you prefer to play as, personaly i like 2h
Unholy: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=j0vZhg0zZfgbI00ogxoRcout
Frost: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=j0EZGxxthcbohRVssx0g
Blood is currently not worth eaven looking at for tanking, threat and migration is to low compared to Unholy and Frost. hopfully that will change with the next patch tho.
You can move around some talents if your feeling you want something else more, not all are a must for tanking. A few talents are must have for tanking ofc tho.
Hope i could be to some help, if you have any questions just ask

thanks alot i`ll go try them out as soon as possible, looks like i wasn`t too far off to a tanking build
I`m kinda keen on the unholy tank spec though and 2 hander tanking looks like my favorite aswell, it`s not like we can xarry a shield and some 2handers have very nice defence rating and stamina on it
Thanks for your imput.
P.s. i knew that you guys let me die ... probably had something to do with my name..

Just keep something in mind:
(patch notes for test realms 3.0.8 )
"-Bone Shield: The mitigation has been reduced from 40% to 20%."

(patch notes for test realms 3.0.8 )
"-Bone Shield: The mitigation has been reduced from 40% to 20%."
A note to that is, they have upped the charges on the shield by 2, that's how it currently is on the testing. Hopefully it hits live
If it does, Bone shield will be better then it is now since you get longer uptime.
High damage reduction for a short period of time < Moderate damage reduction for a long period of time.
and besides that, they are buffing Frost pressence to make up for the nerfing in Bone sheild and Frost Fortitude. If it works out as blizzard have stated we shouldent se a nerf by this, we will take about the same damage just less "spiky" hits, witch i know healers will appreciate
