We'll avail ourselves of this golden opportunity to make mention of World of Warcraft Death Knight PvE Enchantments with you. Do you get it? Let us get down to it right now.
On the heels of gemming guide, we now have an enchanting guide. Just similar to gemming, enchanting is an easy way to go the extra mile to get your gear the best it can be so you can keep aggro without dying or top the damage meters in your next Naxxramas raid. Since there's so few enchants available, it's a lot less complicated than gemming too. DPS will just want hit to the cap and attack power, while tanks will want defense to 540 and stamina.
Note that almost every slot with enchant has a weaker version and a more powerful version. In the case of enchants, it is probably good at the entry level to go with the weaker version of enchant though it is usually frowned upon to go weak when can go strong. In general, the more powerful ones take Abyss Crystals and the like, may be a bit steep. Additionally there are a few other quirks and special enchantments to watch out for. Let's look at some of the best choices for enchanting for both DPS and Tanking.
Rune-forging is better than enchanting, just to get that out of the way. There's no use wasting shards and dust on a weapon enchant when a better one is just a Death Gate away. As far as which to get, let's look at the options.
It is very hard to go wrong by just applying Rune of the Fallen Crusader for DPS. The health will help soak up environmental damage and strength will translate to AP, which will translate to spellpower, meaning that a large overall boost to your damage. Even better is the fact that it scales, meaning the better your gear gets, the better the proc gets. If you're running a Howling Blast build, you might get away with Razorice, but otherwise there shouldn't be any question in your mind that Fallen Crusader fits the bill.
Tanking has a choice between two enchants such as Rune of Sword-shattering and Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle. If you haven't hit the 540 skill defense cap, take the gargoyle, no ifs, ands, or buts. Once you get past 540, there's some small amount of debate over which enchantment works best. 4% parry is a very nice chunk of avoidance. The 2% stamina on the gargoyle rune is still pretty nice, which works from all directions and even past 540 defenses, and you do get some avoidance. If you feel like your stamina is a little low or you want to unload some stamina for threat on your armor, you can use Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle to pick up some of the slack. Otherwise, that 4% parry will probably prove superior if you can keep your enemies in front of you.
For your head, DPS will want to pick up the Arcanum of Torment from the Knights of the Ebon Blade. For Tanking, you'll need revered Argent Crusade reputation for the Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector. It's a nice and straightforward choice, which is always cool
Much like the head, here's another straightforward choice. Grind Sons of Hodir reputation, and at honored you can grab the Lesser Inscriptions of the Axe or the Pinnacle, depending on your role. At exalted, grab the Greater versions. Of course, you can also level inscription and skip the whole mess altogether, but otherwise, it's definitely worth the grind.
For tanking, you can grab some quick and easy defense via the Greater Defense enchantment. DPS or tanks who don't need defense can grab Super Stats, or if they have the wow gold to spare, the more powerful Stats.
