World of Warcraft®

Hello fellow Death Knight's :)

I am wondering if I should use the Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps sword or the Pit Lord's Destroyer mace for tanking. The Gurthalak is sadly only LFR, since I havent done any "real" raids yet.
And the mace gives more mastery and I have read that I should stack mastery as blood DK, but on the other hand I get tentacles, which is awesome.

I welcome feedback on the rest of my gear aswell :)

Okei, ty for feedback :)

I have never any issues with threat or survivability, but then again, I have never raided before. Do you think I am ready for raiding, atleast normals with this gear?

get the missing enchants and you are good to go.

Stack mastery like a boss

Okei, tyvm for replies guys :)

i tried both and i tell u pit lord's destroyer is superior by far

more mastery and same threat as u only get extra threat from gurth if it actually procs tbh as the difference in dmg is non significative.

and a proc in an lfr weapon is not that ... wel... reliable to say the least

I think I'll go with the Pit Lord Destroyer then, have a cool TBC mace to transmog it too aswell.

Well, only you know if you're in more need of survivability or threat.

If neither, go for the Voice of the Deeps.

If threat, go for the Voice of the Deeps.

If survivability, go for the Pit Lord's Destroyer.

You can *always* use more survivability as a tank so first option is out.

Threat is a non-issue so second option is out.

This leaves the mace as the best option.

Well, I havent been around very long in World of Warcraft and have not done any raids on normal yet, only did the LFR. So I dont really know, I never have any issues with threat nor survivability in the LFR, but I have heard and read alot about the LFR being really easy compared to raids on normal or heroic. And therefore I dont know how I will perform in a actual raid yet.

Pit Lord of course, Gurthalak is of no use to you as a tank.

Hey mate,you are a dk so use your runeforges instead regular weapon enchants.Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle or Swordshattering depending what you prefer.

Ahhh, okei. I will switch to Stoneskin then.

And im using the Pit Lord's Destroyer now, and I keep stacking mastery :)

DPS = Threat. Tanking weapons suck.

Threat is not an issue anymore to be considered over mitigation stats.

If you're still gearing up for raids, go with the hammer. Threat should not be an issue, while extra survivability is always good. If you have no threat issues, stick with the Pit Lord's Destroyer, and aim for Ataraxis or Experimental Specimen Slicer on normal. I got the Slicer and I love it, I just switch to Gurthalak when I need/want some extra DPS.

If threat is an issue then you're doing something wrong.

Use the tentacle sword because tentacles are so sexy and cool.

Also when the rest of your party dies and you have to solo the boss the tentacles really help with their imba damage.
