    I can get my speed up just a tad over 2.0 switching my wisdom points around a little. Right now I'm just playing around with the 1h build, to do something different. I was getting so bored, and switching to 1h has made things slightly more interesting. I can still solo on all the maps 1 handed except Balor, Mortis and Kahlys, but it takes a lot longer and you burn through ess faster when you use it.

    Sadly crit isn't all that important in tank mode as the goal is just staying alive while the dmg dealers in your group kill the boss. Since the great nerfing, the role of DK has been changed significantly. So going 1h you get to just stand there spamming the taunt talent and try to stay awake.

    Personally I would like to get up to around 20% crit without giving up too much dmg, but I'll wait and see if the rpg gods smile on me.

    Dragan pauldrons are one of the first things I think most DKs using them glyph up if not using the wolf shield - I'll have to check the numbers, but I think with level 52 or 53 dragan pauldrons (about 5,500,000 and 8,000,000 glyphs) and the heredur shield, he'll have 80% block rate and 71% block strength.

    I agree, I was also implying that you'll need some glyphs on Dragan's shoulders or Heredur's shield, but not 100% sure either on how many you'd need to achieve 80% block rate, the most remarcable thing about the shield is that it improves your block strengh quite a bit.
