Welcome to the dark side
What do you mean by weapon choices? Types or styles? for types, we can use Swords, Axes, Hammers, and Spears. Style-wise we can use 1h and 2h weapons of those types. While we can't dual wield, we CAN equip some DW weapons, but it not advisable since they have half the damage rating as a 1h weapon.SKs are mostly Spell based DPS. Think of them as a plate wearing necro-tank if you will. We can tank just as well as any other fighter, but where we might lack in mitigation against Warriors, and avoidance against Brawlers, we make up for it with our Necro-like lifetaps to keep us alive. My advice would be to worry about upgrading your taunts, damage shield, both stances, and your buffs first. Also, always remember that melee only makes up for 10-15% of your total damage on average, so upgrading your spells over your combat arts is probably a good idea as well
With good gear and spells, we can solo many things that give other tanks a problem, in some cases heroic mobs 1-2 levels above yours can be solo'd if you have a firm grasp on the class and what it can and can't do.Good luck and enjoy playing what I feel is the most fun and entertaining of the tank classes.
