- Alliance: Gnome (engineering synergy), Human (Sword/Mace Specialization +5 weapon skill).
Is Thunderfury necessary? For a guild's main tank — the best weapon for reducing threat on raid mobs. Hard to get — requires luck with drops and a long quest chain.
Fury or Protection on WowX5? With x5 rates, leveling is faster, guilds form more actively. If you want to be the main tank — Protection. If DPS — Fury with off-tank capability.
