Orc you are equipping Axes due to
Axe Specialization.
Edgemaster's Handguards are your BiS gloves, if you are not a
Human and not an
Orc. With
Edgemaster's Handguards, axes, daggers, and swords become your preferred weapon choices.
The BiS list contains some very hard-to-get items. Depending on your current gear, the priority list in other slots can change. Getting to 9% hit if you don’t have +weapon skill is one of your highest priorities. You only need 6% hit chance on your gear if you have +5 or more weapon skill. Try to get your hit chance while still wearing plate gear in as many slots as possible.
Check the Phase 2 BiS list below if you are planning on using daggers for tanking.
