What this list provides:
- A compilation of tank gear relevant to end game tanking based on iLevel of the gear.
- Some lower items may be omitted as the purpose of this is current raid gear. Feel free to discuss items included or not included for relevance to DK tanking.
What this list is not:
- A gear ranking system that attempts to provide best in slot. Best in Slot is subjective to each individual based on one's own stat deficiencies. That said, we do have a BiS thread here.
Notes:
- Some of the headings are links to filtered Wowhead searches that can help identify other possible items of interest in recent patches. The lists includes items 251+ that are from patch 3.3 and on. You can change it at Wowhead if you want to look at other items.
- Please send any corrections or missing items as a private message since it will help keep this thread cleaner.
- Most of the items from Ulduar and Naxxramas have been archived into a second post. These items are not as relevant. This list will focus on current gear applicable to a newer tank through to progressions tanks.
