This should be your first cloak for tanking. Defense FTW.

I really like the Tattered drape. That's a lot of extra BV and threat.

Should I hit honored before I hit 80? I'm really close to honored at 77, just curious if theres more quests along my route that will easily put me over the top?

I'm honored having done all the quests in Dragonblight and the two or three in Borean. You may have missed a couple.

I thought I did almost all (got the achievement anyway) in dragonblight. Might have a missed a couple in borean. Oh well, just gonna daily it up then :p

I'd say it's quite good. Once I'm in no great need of defense I'm going to try to pick one up for a reasonable price. It doesn't have hit but that BV is really very nice.

Nerubhide Cape FTW.

No defense = FTL

Unless you are far ahead of the curve you won't be using this early on.

Defense chant? That is what I did.

I´m broke, got 22 agility

Go for this cape if someone you know can make it

Durable Nerubhide Cape

its a world drop.

ill probly use the rep cape until im beyond def cap. by then ill probably have a better epic.

Is there any more later game epic capes with more BV?
