Tank specs
What changed in 3.33?
Which is the best tank spec in 3.3? Here is my opinion post.
Starting pages for each, with a lot of detail and further links within:
| Patch | Blood | Frost | Unholy |
| 3.3.3 | blood 3.3 (3.33)
Gravity’s Grid of Blood specs 3.3.3 Interactive talent tree to explain each talent |
Frost 3.3 2H spec here or dual-wield
and Improved Icy Talons specs (3.33) on weapon speed effect on threat on expertise with DW, and parry haste |
Unholy tanking 3.3 (& 3.33) |
Other posts on 3.3, see this listing.
Rotation and priorities are here for all specs.
Not sure which tree to choose? I have some advice.
How does blood and frost’s threat compare?
What about utility talents?
