How much dps?

Byron "Messiah" Mudry surfaces from playing the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) Beta for long enough this week to provide some information on his exploits in the Borean Tundra. As mentioned in his last journal entry, the zone is ripe with quests and things to do. In this entry the Messiah talks about exploring the area, his retribution spec experience (BIG DPS!), being a fighter pilot, and more!

Right at the harbour is a Blacksmith trainer. I have to see what I can make now with all the cobalt ore that I have been collecting. While nothing at low level looks like a replacement for my current gear, my eyes wander down to the higher level gear, which isn't even the top end you will be able to make since it is meant for skill 440/450. WOW!!! Expect Tanks health to go WAY up in the expansion. The two epic pieces that were available from the trainer where a helm and boots, and they had 162 and 120 stamina respectively. That's right, 282 stamina between the two and they are not even the highest end blacksmithing pieces. They also had respectable strength and defense numbers as well.
