Unrelenting Assault Tank Build

Сообщение от Maelwys

This is something I was looking at for a tank that would (ultimately) have high threat through high DPS.

Defensively, Critical Block is the only thing you're missing. Offensively, you can use Revenge on just about every GCD, talented to +140% damage. Also, through Strength of Arms and Weapon Mastery, you have a higher effective Expertise (I believe) through talents. Trauma adds some utility, Mortal Strike can be used when Revenge isn't proc'd and should do a good deal of threat due to Tactical Mastery. The Weapon Spec is up in the air, and Second Wind is filler as well, though it seems like a better choice than others. Glyphs would likely be Blocking, Revenge, and Last Stand.

Just looking for some feedback, preferably constructive.

Glyph of Blocking would be a waste for this build since Shield Slam is taking a definite back seat to Revenge and Heroic Strike spam. Glyph of Heroic Strike would likely be a better choice. Weapon Mastery is going to be wasted points, since in tanking gear you should be well over 26 expertise (because you still want to be reducing parries) thus making 2% less dodge pointless. In this build you should be spamming Heroic Strike, so Incite in Prot Tree should be a taker.

I never really liked the UA build (which is nothing new, by the way). There's a lot of wasted points in Arms with very little return for them, and you miss out on some really great stuff in Prot, not to mention AttT in Fury. Revenge is nice and all because of the damage buffs, but there are no crit buffs that you'd get with Devastate and Shield Slam. Revenge does a bit more damage than Devastate, but Devastate does more threat.

It's a gimmick spec that does not, IMHO, really work all that great in practice.

It's a terrible AoE tanking threat, they should nickname it PreBC Prot build. It might be viable for MT bosses and things like that, otherwise I just can't see it being much good on trash. Like an MT/OT at the same time, build.

Unrelenting assault - 3.1 Alternate build.

Tankspot beat you to it by about 5 months.

yeah, this build has been around for awhile. it's a lot of fun on single target fights, but only if they hit you a lot. fights where the boss pauses for long casts (hodir, for example), the build is not great. and it's HORRIBLE for aoe, just horrible.

weapon spec is not up in the air; you really, really want axe spec. and you need to max out incite, of course. drop spell reflect and a point from something else.

the 1 sec GCD is great, and for single target dps/tps this build is unmatched. i first used it on patchwerk and did about 3500dps in a 10man. i've also tried in on IC hard mode and you can rack up some ridiculous numbers on steelbreaker with the buff.

overall, it's not a good build, but situationally it's quite nice.

glyphs are revenge/heroic strike (mandatory). i used blocking as the third for extra SS damage when revenge is not lit up.
