Hey All.

Everyone have the same problems when we talk about DK and Tanking. The damm Def Cap that is horrible to achieve when you start to get Naxx gear (Lot's of Epics has less Def than the Blues).

Of course all changes will help a lot, Sigils and Runic Enchants will be awesome.

Still, the DW Tanking DK seems to be a far far away reality in the moment. Mostly because we just miss too much and the Damage (Yellow) is not that Great to generate threat enought for not losing aggro.

Shouldnt you guys think in something to improve more the Hit Rating and Threat generation from DW? I know that there is a talent already but it doesnt seems too good for helping us.

A DW DK would never have problems with the Def. Cap...

Just a thought. Thank you.

On every spec for which we have allowed dual-wielding and propped it up with talents, DW tends to dominate.

It's tricky, but we want death knights to have the option of DW for dps or tanking. Too many talents will push DW as the only way to go.
