If this is a bis pre-heroic raid list, why do you have 346 gear listed? Also, you do not have any explanations as to why any of this gear is worthwhile. You basically just took all the tank gear from heroics and normal raids and called it a bis list.

[Unforgivein]

The reason there is a 356`s is because i'm giving people options on what gear for a particular item because of stats.

Also, Didn't believe I had to say everything. If someone knows they're class and knows what stats they need they will see how I put this up.

Not every person can get these BiS items, due to getting outrolled or not dropping. so for here:

Crossfire Carbine (ilvl 359 - Zone Drop [Bastion of Twilight]
Thundercall (ilvl 346 - Zone Drop [Heroic Vortex Pinnacle]
Themios the Darkbringer (ilvl 359 - Atramedes [Blackwing Decent]
Dragonwreck Throwing Axe (ilvl 359 - Zone Drop [Bastion of Twilight]

You would rather want Thundercall than the other two 359`s. Why? well Thundercall is giving you better TANKING stats.


Sorry that this didn't come to your.. standards.

By far one of the best back pieces and one of the easiest to earn would be the Mantle of Patience earned from the Element Bonds quest series. Other than that love the list and thanks for making it.
