My intention with this post is to list the easily attainable and best tank gear for level 70, mainly through quests, but for some slots that is not an option so will fill those slots with reputation rewards, instance drops and crafted gear. I also try to keep the lists as short as possible, so when it comes about some alternatives of the same type, go for the one with better tanking stats

I have set aside Heroic mode drops, as there is few information about it yet. This includes dungeon set 3: Battlegear of the bold but I guess some parts of that set drops from the hardest "normal" mode instances

Frirr Compiled this info along with other sources in his site:

bump for sticky

Enchants added

nicely done

sticky ploz

Great list Ender, thanks a lot. I've just gone window shopping through thotty and completed my own tank wishlist, a lot of it looks pretty similar, but a few things I haven't found, so I hope this will be a sticky :)

An addition for the ranged slot, I've picked up this nice gun for tanking: http://thottbot.com/?i=57717
from a very easy quest in Nagrand (Gava'xi from the consortium camp).
It's only a green but with good tank stats: 8agi, 12stam, 14AP, really really good seen as how easy it is to get.

PS forum seems to think that gnome warriors can't reach lvl70... while in fact, I have :)
PPS hmm now it says 69... well I can live with that :P

Oh, yes summedis, I'm using that one myself atm \o/. Added

Requested as a sticky

Only suitable scope found is the most expensive engineering scope, and it don't adds to one of the primary tanking stats but of course helps with agro generation;
Stabilized Eternium Scope (+28 crit rating) Engineering

I would read the enchant description: "increases its critical strike rating" as in it increased your ranged crit chance (you can compare your melee and ranged crit chances with the new UI that shows ranged crit chance aswell, which you couldn't see anywhere pre-patch 2.0).

It would go in line with the change of +3% tohit scope back in the pre-BC WoW affecting only ranged +tohit back in the days.

Other than that nice gear guide.

Well that is quite sad. Specially for the cost in mats of such item. Will remove it until someone can confirm it.
