The Enigma Order

I'm prob. gonna reroll DK, since 2handed and DW tanking sounds awsome (since warriors can't do it all that well)

but loot wise, wont DK be boring as you wont need any weapons or anything cause your own just upgrades?

there was some talk almost half a year ago about runeblades and DK personal weapons that could maybe get upgraded through tokens or getting strong weapons and then imbuing their strong magic to their own runeblade making it stronger. not sure if that idea is scrapped but I atleast find it rather interesting would fit with the idea of the runemagic with a certain amount of runes carved in the death knights weapon (thats the idea I believe) that the DK can use for different kind of abilities.

that sounds good:)

about the tanking part... without a shield, how can you reach 102.4% avoidance? That a tank req. in endgame raid tanking? I've heard from tanking experts that only warrior and paladin can get that high atm. as they can use a shield and druid can't. But offtanking might be possible, as that clearly doesn't req. a shield, since druids do it all the time:)

Not only beasts mojo. Every damn mob seem to parry and even block sometimes. I've met NPC casters that block your attacks.
Hell, I even had a screenshot of a lvl 1 chicken parrying an attack from my 2h Ashkandi back in the day. Cracked me up.

so you can reach 102.4% avoidance without a shield? sounds like an impossable task, at lvl 70 at least, maybe 80 will be another story

but as a DW'ing or 2handed wielding death knight you can parry, while a druid can't do that... so it can be possible yes?  but as I said, it sounds like an impossable task without shield block

the questchain for a DK is only obtainable if youre 80 ^^ so you still cant level with ze guild :p.Ive got a good advantage cause the gaming shop downstairs opens at midnight for sales so i get it run upstairs take some days from work or summit and freak to 80 get meself a DK ^^.

not much neitehr into dk discussion nor into pvp, but the idea of something with high end tank survivability, dual wielding and holding aggro by it sounds somehwat tricky to balance in pvp.

I'll kite them anyway.

plz delete the 4 posts above this.... I wanted to type something and it didn't work, so I tried again and it came out like this...

you'll find what I'm trying to say here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Death_Knight  from the full stop 4 lines above the "A&HC 24-26" and down to it.

Hahaha, shaman ain't a tank hybrid palma. Sure you can probably offtank some trash in normal 5mans, but when it comes to raids, forget it. Druids are excellent tanks btw, so once again, I really don't know where you get your info from, do you just make it up in your head?

well, it says on wow europe that shaman makes a good offtank... so I kinda copied it from there... but it doesn't change the fact that a druid cannot tank end game bosses (without 5-6 healers). no shield, no plate armor = fail! 300% armor boost wont help you... puny leather armor.. pfft.
