Weapon

Runeforging is better than enchanting,just to get that out of the way.There is no use wasting shards and dust on a weapon enchant when a better one is just a Death Gate away. As far as which to get,though,let us look at the options.

For DPS,it is very hard to go wrong by just applying Rune of the Fallen Crusader.The health world of warcraft will help soak up environmental damage,and strength will translate to AP, which will translate to spellpower,which means a large overall boost to your damage.Even better is the fact that it scales,meaning the better your gear gets,the better the proc gets.If you are running a Howling Blast build,you might get away with Razorice(Some of our commenters suggest using it on the offhand while keeping crusader on your main hand), but otherwise,there should not be any question in your mind that Fallen Crusader fits the bill.

Tanking has a choice between two enchants: Rune of Swordshattering and Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle.If you have not hit the 540 skill defense cap,take the gargoyle,no ifs,ands,or buts.Once you get past 540,there is some small amount of debate over which enchantment works best.4% parry is a very nice chunk of avoidance.On the other hand,the 2% stamina on the gargoyle rune is still pretty nice,it works from all directions(whereas parry works only from the front) and even past 540 defense,you do get some avoidance.In general,if you feel like your stamina is a little low,or you want to unload some stamina for threat on your armor,you can use Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle to pick up some of the slack.Otherwise,that 4% parry will probably prove superior if you can keep your enemies in front of you.

Fresh on the heels of last weeks gemming guide,we have an enchanting guide.Like gemming,enchanting is an easy way to go the extra mile to get your gear the best it can be so you can properly keep aggro without dying and/or top the damage meters in your next Naxxramas raid.Since there is so few enchants available,it is a lot less complicated than gemming too.DPS will just want hit to the cap and attack power (Sorry,there is not many strength enchants),while tanks will want defense to 540 and stamina.

It is also worth noting that buy wow gold almost every slot with an enchant has a weaker version and a more powerful version. Although it is usually frowned upon to go weak when can go strong,in the case of enchants,it is probably okay at the entry level to go with the weaker version of an enchant.The more powerful ones generally take Abyss Crystals and the like,and may be a bit steep.In addition,there is a few other quirks and special enchantments to watch out for.Let us take a look,by slot,at some of the best choices for enchanting for both DPS and Tanking.
