This may seem strange, but I heve never been able to understand gear in this game. I don't get what you are looking for, so I just have to try all the drops and reqards on and see if it makes me hit harder. The wierd thing is... I am at lvl 64 on my DK, and still haven't gotten a drop or quest reward that is a better piece of armor or weapon than what Ihave on. Is this normal?
