Boomstick great too. Consortium Blaster (+15 stam, threat stats), Consortium rep Veteran's Musket (+12 agility and +11 hit), Honour Hold rep. Gladiator's throwing weapon for the fast throw speed, + stamina and more. These are all good. But none of them beats the Destroyer and all of them will be vendor'd while you are still using the Destroyer, simply because it has the most + stamina and a gem slot. Is it just me or is there something wrong when there are 2 excellent tanking items that can be made with engineering and none with Blacksmithing? All these other weapons are great too.

The Vengeful Gladiator’s War Edge” is the epic, not the Ballista like the last sentance leads you to believe. I keep the "Vengeful Gladiator’s War Edge” equiiped most of the time, and when MT I put up the Ballista. Didn’t fully read my last paragraph before posting my last comment.

I keep the “Vengeful Gladiator’s War Edge” equiiped most of the time, and when MT I put up the Ballista.

Got it in AH for 6g (how can you beat that?) The crappiest part about it is that it's a green, so people stay away from it. Granted it's no where near as cool as the Destroyer or even the boomstick, but it will get the new guys through a lot while you farm mats and/or run H SH (which I'm not a huge fan of as a prot warrior) I also have the "Vengeful Gladiator’s War Edge" and use it for threat/speed pulls but right now since I'm just starting to raid I typically keep the Ballista equiped for the stam/def. Plus it's epic and everyone seems to want to be fully "epic'd" these days. I’m using “Pocket Ballista of the Champion” right now. Got it in AH for 6g (how can you beat that?)

Great investment, and there's a certain sense of occasion to firing it for the first time. ^^; Hehe, got this gun for 1k gold on MoongladeEU… Great investment, and there’s a certain sense of occasion to firing it for the first time. ^^;

I am currently using one with 23 stamina and 17 def rating and 11 str I think are the stats. no sockets and a little less stam but the def is pretty helpful for someone thats just starting out. Its nearly impossible to get into a normal 5man these days, I have done 3 in the past 2 weeks and that is trying nonstop to do them, nobody does them at all anymore. I watched the AH for the couple of weeks I was leveling and managed to pick up the gun for only 8g with the advice of a felow tank I trust. He told me it would be worth its weight in gold and players usualy overlook the value of them because they are simply greens. What about getting a green champion gun?

A great way to do this (though really, is it required? hardly) would be using the mobs in Shadowmoon Valley. The guys in the bubbles? For that quest you probably never did? Yeah, those. One for each element. You can simply shoot them over & over again as they never attack back. These are great for other purposes, too. Try it! On the topic of ranged weapon speed for pulling:
