Caps & Requirements
Hit/expertise caps shift a lot at this gear level — the creator notes below (and the full mechanics writeup in the Herald & Argent guide) cover the real per-build requirements.
Best Races
Blood Fury, and if you run an axe, +5 expertise from Axe Specialization. Expertise is a priority stat for every DK spec, so racial expertise is worth a lot of gear budget.
Sword / Mace Specialization covers 2H sword and mace users with +3 expertise; Every Man for Himself for utility.
Notes
Real creator tips from Scatty (Vista):
- If you are Horde non-orc player, you have to use Rhinolicious Wormsteak (+40 expertise 40 stam) food, in order to get soft exp cap. Same goes for Ally players.
- If you are Ally played who want's to fully utilize Heroic Presence provided by Draenei, change enchant on boots to "Enchant Boots - Greater Fortitude" / Nitro Boots, if you are an Engineer and you like your mobility. Same goes for ench on hands, for Engeneers, you should focus on use of "Reticulated Armor Webbing" (+885 Armor), instead of "Enchant Gloves - Precison" in every case. If you dont have eng, use "Enchant Gloves - Armsman"
- Orc engineers will simply use Snapper Extreme (+40hit 40 stam) food, and can also substitue "Enchant Boots - Icewalker" by either "Enchant Boots - Greater Fortitude" / Nitro Boots
- Presented trinkets were choosen after taking Anub’ arak's encounter into consideation. For more stamina hungry players, alternatives are obviously "Heart of Iron" (Ignis the Furnance Master 25) & "Royal Seal of King Llane" (Yogg-saron 10).
