WOTLK - Can we get away with 2H tanking in Pre-WOTLK content? [Heirlooms]
I'm planning to level a Paladin with a friend and we're going to level as Prot / Holy and do quite a bit of LFD. We're both going to be in full Heirloom sets (Tank + Healer) and I'm wondering how far I can get tanking with a 2H heirloom.
Since there's no heirloom shield and this will be my first character on Icecrown, I'm trying to avoid tanking with a level 1 gray shield and praying for shield drops along the way. Just trying to decide on the 1H or 2H heirloom at this point.
As long as I can make it through to ramparts like this, I can just quest 67-80 as ret in northrend.
