MMO Champion has listed the gear that we will be able to buy with the new badges, Emblems of Frost.
The tanking stuff looks really nice, and all plate pieces have bonus armor on them. I assume the extra armor is there to compensate for the reduced avoidance that we are facing in Icecrown due to the Icecrown version of Sunwell Radiance.
This is what we can look forward to:
Cataclysmic Chestguard - expertise and block value on the same piece of gear isn't very usual, but considering Blizzard showers tanking gear with hit rating again in 3.3, maybe that expertise will be needed. The armor, stamina, and strength on this chest piece makes my mouth water.
Gauntlets of the Kraken - straight-forward tanking gloves.
Verdigris Chain Belt - straight-forward tanking belt.
Sentinel's Winter Cloak - very nice cloak with bonus armor in addition to the usual tanking stats.
Corroded Skeleton Key - trinket with loads of stamina and a damage absorption use effect. But isn't absorbing 3200 damage quite low?
We don't know the prices of these items yet, but I will most likely pick up the cloak and the trinket first, since I have gear of item level 245 and 258 in the other slots.
There is a libram as well, but I won't waste badges on that one, since it's such a minor upgrade from the current badge libram.

One question relating to the librams, do you currently use the str or dodge proc libram, or another completely for tanking?
ReplyDeleteI got the dodge libram as soon as I could when the last patch hit, since I then thought it was the sexiest thing ever created.
ReplyDeleteBut dodge soon showed to be less useful, so now I almost only use the strength libram.
I wish there were a stamina libram :)
