http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/12/deflector.jpgFrom our friends at MMO-Champion (http://www.mmo-champion.com/), we get this news (http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=31077.0): there will be two new tanking weapons from Blacksmithing, both of them 2h weapons. The Titansteel Deflector (http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/december/titansteeldeflector.jpg) and Titansteel Defender (http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/december/titansteeldefender.jpg)will allow new DK's just gearing for raiding at 80 to craft themselves a spiffy 2h with enough defense or parry to help them out without making an instance drop useless for other classes. I admit I'm eyeing the Titansteel Defender for my fury warrior's OT set, but it's clearly made with DK's in mind. They even re-use the models for the starting DK weapons, which is fine by me, those are some hot weapons.
However, does this mean any serious DK tank has to be a blacksmith now? These are listed at BoP weapons, which would mean you'd have to be a smith to get one. But then again, one of the two is listed as a sword yet certainly looks like an axe, so it's possible that we'll see these go BoE, which would mean that I'd probably set up shop as a DK tank's weapon supplier. Here's to hoping.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Epic 2h Tanking Weapons from Blacksmithing (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/19/epic-2h-tanking-weapons-from-blacksmithing/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:30:00 EST.
