http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/12/az_titanguardform.jpgIt seems the devs took notice of the fact that many important Tanking enchants were just plain missing from Wrath, because we're getting a couple of new ones in patch 3.0.8. At the price of 5 Abyss Crystals (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34057) each, you can buy the following formulae from the Shard Trader in Dalaran:
Enchant Weapon - Titanguard: Teaches you how to permanently enchant a melee weapon to increase Stamina by 75. Requires a level 60 or higher item.
Enchant Bracer - Major Stamina: Teaches you how to permanently enchant bracers to increase Stamina by 40. Requires a level 60 or higher item.
Before Titanguard, Mongoose (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22559) remained the best tanking enchant (unless stacking threat stats), which was just downright silly. It's still a good avoidance enchantment, but for your pure tanking set you can't really pass up +750 HP on your weapon, before any talents (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=29144) or buffs (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59298) are thrown into the equation. That's pretty incredible!
The Bracer enchant is a 28 stamina over Burning Crusade's equivalent: Enchant Bracer - Fortitude (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22533). That's quite the jump. While neither of these enchantments are especially interesting due to the lack of procs and things like that, they're definitely very good and I fully expect tanks to be scrambling for them as soon as patch 3.0.8 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/patch-3.0.8) goes live.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)New tanking enchants added in patch 3.0.8 (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/15/new-tanking-enchants-added-in-patch-3-0-8/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:00:00 EST.
