Shoulders for Blood Death Knight Tanks in Pre-Patch Recommended BiS Helm Enchant: Arcanum of the Gladiator, requires Revered reputation with Shattered Sun Offensive. Head for Blood Death Knight Tanks in Pre-Patch Luckily, Spell Power converts to strength, so it opens up some other viable options. The biggest issue with gearing in the pre-patch is that most plate tanking gear will have block on it. Below you'll find alternative options for each slot, but ultimately you'll end up wearing whatever you're able to get your hands on. We know Pre-Patch is only going to be 4 weeks long, meaning the chances you obtain every item in this BIS list are relatively low. In practice, this means that avoidance stats on gear have roughly the same constant value for tank survival across the entire expansion - rather than fluctuating.īody Armor for Blood Death Knight Tanks in Pre-Patch Now with Pre-patch and through Wrath, each point of an avoidance stat provides less of a % increase than the previous to counteract the infinite scaling problem of TBC tanks. This increasing value is what led to the Sunwell Radiance Aura being added. This resulted in some tanks scaling exceptionally faster than other tanks. For example, each 1% dodge provided more value for survival than the previous 1%. In TBC, avoidance stats had increasing returns in their value. However, Wrath changes the values of these stats, and adds an ever increasing diminishing return. Agility/Dodge/Parry - As stated above, agility gives you dodge.It's important you don't get parried on multiple Death Strikes in a row and die. Expertise - Since Blood Death Knights are the only 2-handed tank, you'll want to aim not only for the 6.5% soft cap for dodge, but also the 14% for parry's.Keep an eye on this balance to ensure you're not too far over for Hit. 12.62 hit rating counts as 1% spell hit, and 14.79 hit rating counts as 1% hit. Physical hit rating adds more to spell hit, then spell hit rating at level 70. Taking in account the bonus 6% Hit, you'll want to aim for 11% Spell hit. You also get 3% spell hit from Virulence. A Boomkin gives Improved Faerie Fire or a Shadow Priest gives Misery, but these do not stack unfortunately. 17% is needed to not get a resist on any raid boss. However, Hit also now counts towards Spell hit, which is important for Blood Death Knights as most of our threat generating abilities are spells. Hit suppression is removed, so you'll aim for 8% hit for your special melee attacks. Hit - Wrath brings a bunch of changes to stats.However, Blood has a lot more interactions with strength due to talents like Veteran of the Third War and Abomination's Might which brings it value above agility. Strength - Blood Death Knights gain Parry rating from strength, like they gain Dodge from Agility.Armor - Blood Death Knights do not use shields, so you want to be stacking as much armor as possible for the most damage reduction.We will cover these interactions more in the class overview. There are multiple interactions with health for Blood Death Knights, specifically Rune Tap and Vampiric Blood. Stamina - Stamina is the name of the game for Blood Death Knights, you always want to stack as much as possible.While this is the cap for being uncrittable, any excess Defense is then converted into avoidance stats, so don't be afraid to go above this cap if needed.
If you have no resilience at all, you will want at least 490 Defense. This number changes based on the amount of each stat you have, and requires a deeper dive. Defense & Resilience - You want the bare minimum enough to make yourself uncrittable.This guide will list the recommended gear for your class and role, containing gear sourced from raids, dungeons, PvP, professions, BoE World drops, and reputations.īest in Slot Gear for Blood Death Knight Tanks in Pre-Patch Welcome to Wowhead's Best in Slot Gear list from Pre-Patch Sunwell Plateau for Blood Death Knight Tank in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
