Oh God when will blizz realize that we resto shammies want haste and not crit and mp5.... 25 ToC dagger is better than that mace....

Probably wrong but the warrior/pally tanking weapon could be a shield so people who have Quel'Serrar can use it with the Quel'Delar shield. I think it would be neat though.
LilBanshee Nov 12th 2009 8:34AM
'The Quel'Delar shield'? Huh?
Byronius Nov 12th 2009 9:34AM
Actually, this^^^
I doubt it would happen, but it would be awesome if Prot Warriors and Pallys could get a shield at turn in. A lot of people complain about how hard it is to get a shield at times and this idea would be awesome. Don't know if it could/ would happen, but it would be awesome.

I have to say, after reading the astonishing amount of QQ'ing here, if I was the CEO of Activision Blizzard, I'd be pretty close to saying "you know what, it's not worth a billion dollars a year to have to put up with these whining babies, I'm shutting the game down."

No such thing as a 2h tanking sword, blizz said so. So this will be a nice upgrade for my 2h tank DK.

Wait, so you get this from running a quest in 5-mans? That is sweet. I am kind of surprised its ilevel is so high. I thought the loot coming out of the new 5 mans was going to be ilevel 232.
Finnicks Nov 12th 2009 12:33AM
I don't think the lack of a tanking weapon is strange at all.
Based upon the 30% dodge nerf in ICC and Blizzard's statements about excessive mitigation ruining the healing experience, I'd say it was a deliberate thing not to include a mitigation weapon.
There should be no need for a +def weapon now. At these high item levels the budget for defense on other gear slots is more than enough to reach the cap.
And putting out a sword w/ mitigation would defeat their purpose in nerfing dodge in the first place.
Rick Nov 12th 2009 1:02AM
Dodge =/= mitigation. Dodge=avoidance, mitigation=armor/block.
Yes, I am sitting really high currently with my defense rating on my tankadin, and I have nothing gemmed/enchanted for defense right now. That does not mean that I would not like a tank weapon. I would love to see something perhaps with less defense and perhaps more armor on it...something more like Crusader's Glory is. Meh, until I get that to drop on heroic 10 ToC or one of the tribute weapons I will stick with my burnished Quel, looks a ton better then many of the other weapons out there, does the job, proc is up like 80% of the time, and not really that many weapons better for a tankadin at this moment.
Charneldeath Nov 12th 2009 5:02AM
Again with the non tanks speaking as if they understand ICC Radiance. It's been explained enough I thought folks would understand. You're basically saying casters have enough SP, so they shouldn't get a reward.
First off, this is from a 5 man. Most people who would really want a weapon of this ilevel are casual, who I assure you are unaware of what Mitigation, EH, and Avoidance are. Even with high Avoidance, its from a 5 man, and tanking 5 mans is EZsauce with or without high ilevel gear.
It sucks every class/spec couldn't get served, but again it's from a 5 man that drops a metric asston of epics. I assume it would be pretty easy to find an alternative.
