Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hey, so iv farmed my pre-raid bis, and am getting access to raids. I understand end goal is having viskag/cts + maladath for maximum damage.

However i am confused about upgrades in between dal rends and BiS swords.

Guess ZG swords are nice, or razorgore tank mace + brutality blade or mc dagger offhand.

What about axes ? Is nef axe + trash one a big upgrade over dal rend for human for until i can get BiS weps ?

Or first weapons even, zg ones and one from bwl ? Worth it?

Better question would be: How much more weapon DPS i should look for in upgrade, for it to offset loss of 5 weapon skill ?

I'm exclusively a tank and don't know much about the exact increases on dps from the +5 swords, but I'd guess that the maces and axes from MC are about on par with the dal rends if not a slight downgrade. What I am sure about is that you will not get priority on swords above rogues in most cases since they are only viable with swords and you can use other weapon types.

I would definitely use MC/BWL epics over blues even if you loose 5 weapon skill. If your guild prioritize swords to rogues first then crulshorukh is definitely a very good option that will last you until Naxx.
