Thirdly, you want Taunting Shadowfury/Shadowburn for extra threat dealt (you can susbstitute or spread out these ME’s with mana cost reduction instead of threat). Secondly, you want Mental Quickness 3/3 and Precision 1/1 for hit capping and AP>SP conversion. So you’ll need the 1/1 Demonic Influence and 3/3 Nemesis ME’s to keep permanent Metamorphosis up. This core TE spread gives a lot of armor bonus value, threat boosts, good DR through Soul Link and AP–>SP conversion. Of course, there are other talents such as Light’s Vengeance 3/3 that come to mind as extremely important, but I thought I’d share this particular core build and leave most of the speculation and/or TE choices up to the reader. Build: The Core TE Set - In my mind, these talents are 100% unmissable.With the cheap pre-HC gear I’ve bought from the AH and what I’ve been collecting whilst leveling through Normal Dungeons, I’m sitting at about +/- 50% DR from armor and around +/- 35% avoidance through dodge/parry, which works alright for Normal Dungeons thus far. We’re running TE 5/5 Mental Quickness and ME 3/3 Mental Quickness to convert as much AP into SP, since our primary abilities do not benefit from AP, but from SP. So the basic idea I have is as follows: Stam/Agi -> Dodge/Parry/AP -> Def Rating.

Stat Priority: For this build we want to bank in hugely on Stamina and Agility.Our threat generation is secured through not one but two ME’s, namely Lurking Shadow and Fearing Fire, giving both our Shadow damage (Shadowburn, Shadow Cleave, Shadowfury) as Fire Damage (Molten Armor, Flametongue Weapon and especially Immolation Aura) 25% bonus threat. By staying in Metamorphosis, we aim to be a passive tank where we benefit from higher mitigation through Cloth or Leather items. Concept: We’re going for a Tank Build where we have a 100% uptime in Demon Form.!Post will be updated when progress is booked! If you like tanking as if you were Lord Illidan Stormrage himself, then look no further! Today I’m sharing my own build which I’ve been playing for a few days now.
