His excuses for it were hilarious.
Like?
It is impossible to judge his intentions based on armory alone. We all know that you can get a decent tanking weapon just by completing "Ragemane's Flipper" in Zul'Drak, so his reasoning for chosing the dagger over that would be the important part - not that there is a dude on the armory tanking with a dagger...
Just run him through RAWR, along with some pieces he should have had access to with the Ragemane quest:
Current
2341,9
48,02% avoidance
Crescent of Brooding Fury
2391,0
47,32% avoidance
Hammer of Quiet Mourning
2349,2
47,45% avoidance
Sword of Heartwrenching Slaughter
2355,3
47,49% avoidance
In the worst case (Crescent) that's a loss of 50 tps, coming with a gain of 0,7% avoidance - not counting the loss in Stamina. This is far from screaming "OH NOES!"
For comparison:
Red Sword Of Courage
2413,8
47,49% avoidance
The loss in threat isn't gamebreaking. But he needs some damn good reasoning to explain why he chose to pass on the stamina, after all 39 on all those blue pieces.
