Okay, WoW geeks

[alpharaposa]

anher and I have been participating in a weekly ZG raid. The raid handles items by giving each regular participant a short wish list. If an items drops on your wish list, and it's higher on yours than anybody else's, you get the item. Period. Items not on any wish lists get rolled for.

(It's a long-enough running raid that a lot of items get rolled for, which is nice for us.)

I've already obtained all three of my primal items, the Zulian Scepter, and Peacekeeper Gauntlets. Great stuff! But now, I'm looking at the wish list. And I'm torn. I appeal to the fellow WoW geeks on my list to help me figure out the pros and cons.

I want a good tanking weapon. There are two excellent weapons that drop off of Hakkar that would be great for pally tanking. These are:

Bloodcaller
Bloodlord's Defender

Bloodcaller has +15 int and +spell damage. Pally tanking relies upon spell damage to generate aggro. Intellect, of course, means more mana, more crits, all that good stuff.

Bloodlord's Defender has no int, but has 80 armor, higher DPS, and +4 def. Defense and armor are both vital tanking stats, and higher DPS is always a bonus. Its stamina is a little higher, too, which means more hit points.

So... Bloodcaller would make keeping aggro easier. The Defender would let me take less damage. Both of these are good things to keep in mind for tanking. So far, I have the Defender down on my wishlist, but I can change that at any time before the next raid.
