What weapon for tank?

[Penkis 0]

Hi. I am a little confused about what dmg to do while tanking? On the bislist finkles skinner is nr 1 but I have heard ppl say that is not accurate because of how rage used to work on nostalrius.

Now I have seen a lot of warriors going with Mirahs song instead. 

Which one is best?

You are correct that Finkles is no longer best due to rage gains from incoming damage.

 

At times you'll opt for a mix of both, which I have my own personal values of "overall" (EPH/TPS/Avoidance/Mitigation) per slot which you can find here:

For your post I will deffer an overall value to answer your question without being specific to any patch you should have 2 tank weapons.  A TPS (Threat per second) and a Mitigation/Avoidance weapon.

 

TPS

Your TPS weapon will be a SLOW weapon.  The slower the better, due to providing more average uptime on Crusader.  

A 1.3 speed weapon has a proc rate of 2.16% on crusader. (46.51% average uptime / 93 attack power)  *before buffs

A 2.9 speed weapon has a proc rate of 5% on crusader.      (75% average uptime / 150 attack power)     *before buffs

If you are human Vis'Kag > Deathbringer in this regard.

Crul'shorukh > Vis'Kag / Deathbringer.

A 2.3 speed weapon has  proc rate of 3.83% on crusader.  (63.26% average uptime / 126 attack power) *before buffs

Crul'shorukh has +36 AP on the weapon, 13 stam for in increased EHP (effective health pool), and more raw DPS on the weapon for stronger white hits.

 

In terms of preraid:

Iron Foe > Bone Slicing Hatchet / Mirah's Song (If human)

 

Avoidance/Mitigation

 

Your Avoidance/Mitigation weapon will be a stat stick with no concerns of base DPS or speed.  Stam / Agility / Def / +Parry

If or when DM is out on your resident server, Quel'Serrar is very good for up and coming tanks that are well below the DEF cap due to itemization while in their avoidance/mitigation gear.   The proc happens often to a point it refreshes itself.   While the proc is active this weapon is only beaten out by Blessed Qiraji War Hammer, which is an AQ40 item in terms of overall, however in pure Avoidance/Mitigation is even beats out this monster of a weapon when the proc is up.

Bone Slicing Hatchet is mentioned here again, as a preraid go to.  The high agility of this weapon gives 0.65% dodge and increases your EPH.
