Cataclysm Gear: Plate
DPS in Plate
- Frost or Unholy Death Knight

This group primarily does melee (physical) damage. Characters in this group differ from their mail- or leather-wearing cousins primarily in their preference for Strength (their main, immutable statistic) over Agility. Hit and Expertise are both useful.

- Not for Warriors.
- Although technically this is a quest reward from the Darkmoon Faire, Scribes (inscriptionists) make the Winds cards that compose the Hurricane Deck, which is exchanged for the trinket.
- This appears to be a Blizzard blunder. Jewelcrafters can make two necklaces and two rings (neither Unique-Equipped) for Agility dps but none for Strength dps? Oops. Somebody goofed, obviously, but why didn't anyone notice?
