any libramers?
just go Libram of Obstruction for 15 heroism
could you add like a star or something so we know wich is actually the ultimate best since there are multiple options
There is no best for tanking. It depends what your current stats are. Especially if you’re looking for pre raid gear. You need to focus on getting defense capped and hit capped.
The “ultimate best” would be down to which stats you needed the most, if they listed the Arcane-Shielded Helm as the ultimate best but you were not def capped. Then Tempered Saronite Helm would be the best for you.
