Insane attack power for tanks

[advanta]

[QUOTE=powerflex;3257635]Ya, normal armor has no effect on your AP, it's only bonus armor that gives you that increase. So the 2% from the meta gem or the 4% from the Rune Forge both have zero impact on AP, I've tested it.



Yes.... that you?[/QUOTE

Are you sure about runeforging?

Runeforging appeared to give me 4% bonus power and associated AP. Just tested it and there is a clear increase, both inside
and outside bg's. Why do you say it has no impact of AP?

Haven't tried the meta gem yet.

Edit: I stand corrected, apparently it does give a slight increase to AP. I must have accidently been in the wrong spec when I tested it previous. My bad.

Would you only recommend to roll a DK for this or would any other Tank work? For example paladin or monk tank aswell?

Monk scaling is actually better than DKs at higher levels. Once you hit the 80-89 or 90-99 bracket with BA, brewmasters just don't die unless stunlocked and in 2v2 arenas where you find a lot of other BA characters, I never lost to a DK in the inevitable 1v1.

It would be interesting to see video of you fighting a dk. My guess is that for unskilled players and/or with poor quality connections dk is optimal, but the superior mobility of Brewmasters would pay off for more sophisticated players.

As a DK, the only time I've lost was against a Healer and a Frost Mage and that was only because they could CC / kite me so well, I couldn't get a death strike off. That was me solo against a resto shammy and a frost mage (both excellent players, very on top of CC and CD's to survive).

Otherwise, I've gone up against several BA brewmasters, never have I lost or even come close for that matter. If I can deathstrike something, you're probably not going to be able to kill me, no matter how many friends you have.

While the BA may scale better with brewmaster, I assure you they have far less of a selection of choice gear for this. As a plate class, I can wear any other class armor. I have my AP sitting around 12k now and there's still another piece I'm trying to get that could optimize even further.

In battlegrounds, I take on full 10 player groups and kill them a lot of times especially if I have a ghoul up. You have no idea how many people think I'm hacking somehow and how many tells I get daily.

I'm going to be sad when I finally ding 100 or Bliz nerfs this once and for all. I'm having so much fun I don't even play my 100's anymore.

Has anyone tried the 3/3 Blacksmith weapon in lue of Garg Bite yet? I'm curious if it makes a diff (I don't have the gold ATM myself to try it)

Does this not count as a guide rather than an exploit? Since it's technically a legitimate game mechanic?

Cant seem to get the ghoul trick to work for bg's. It doesnt auto set me to blood when i go in.

an exploit is an advantage. an exploit is not a cheat. a cheat is where you access for example gm commands to reshape fundamental code for your own experience. an exploit is simply the "clever" use of game mechanics for your advantage. being this glitching or such item exploits.. you use what is there. if programers didnt care to fix a whole in a rock where you can glitch through and you use it, you are exploiting, because it possibly gives you an advantage over other players

Had alot of fun with the DK on this, can someone give me a guide on leather / cloth for a monk? My DK has leveled now and hope my 80 monk can take her place

I need a weapon for my warrior

Untick the DPS box when it asks what roles you're available for and it will auto switch you to blood when you hit the BG (unless it's AV).
