Tank Weapon

SHM... another highjacked thread.

Back to OP. anywhere between 1.6 and 2.0 is good for low level tanking. Though you take what you can get at times, as the RNG Gods can be hurtful at times.

while leveling speed does not matter really at all.

Undertanker has already explained why a faster weapon is nice to have even at lower levels. Twice in fact. In this threat even! I happen to agree with him after tanking DM at level 20 with a 2.6 speed weapon.

For the benefit of everyone, please explain why his arguments are invalid rather than just saying "no you are wrong".

It's not wrong, but its not necessary either. theres no point in picking a super fast weapon early, you get more agro at low levels from dps and abilities than you do from HS at llow levels.

I guess you did not read what he said before telling him he's wrong then. His arguments have nothing to do with heroic strike and are quite valid.

At low levels your generate a lot less rage which means that missing on an auto attack really sucks. If you miss with a slow weapon at the start of a pull, it sucks a LOT more than missing with a faster weapon at the start of a pull.

Since a lot more of your threat comes from damage (due to not being rage capped), a fast weapon also helps you to build threat on multiple targets a lot easier.

So, as Undertanker has been saying for 2-3 pages now. Using a faster weapon is better even at lower levels.
