Hey,
Question about DK tank stats. Why is parry so high and strength so low?
I would have thought more along the lines of:
defense
stamina
dodge
expertise
strength
agility
parry
Mainly because DK parry suffers from higher diminishing returns than other classes due to forceful deflection.
strength is above agi and parry as it gives parry + threat increase.
stam is up there coz i like stam, although its more important I think when your gear is of a lower level.
Interested to know your reasoning!

I put them in that order because:
- frequently starting Tank gear will have Stam on it by default
- dodging an attack is better than parry
- I wanted to see avoiding damage as more important than threat, but I think you’re right in the order, especially the Str vs Parry idea.
After a re-think I would question putting expertise high on the list for starting gear, as hit is more important starting out too.
I’ve tweaked it a little.
