Glyph of PestilenceJust a little list of higher lvl tanking items currently in the beta...think I'll have to re-write everything when wotlk goes live...ouch!
Just let me know if I have missed anything or if you find something new! I'ts late and I'm running low on coffee, so I might have missed something...
Ranking them better/worse is one thing I'm terrible at so i could use some help there from an experienced theorycrafter! Until then...you are on your own, hehe
The items are now listed in ilvl from top to bottom, that should make it somewhat readable as to what items are upgrades...and then ofc it's about keeping the avoidance values within the DR acceptance values...which i don't remember what they are...help!
Ok, a list of factions you "need" to farm/grind:(Not too hard to do either, there are dailies and ofc the rep tabards!)
The Argent Crusade Revered for
Arcanum of the Stalwart ProtectorThe Kirin Tor Exalted for
Fireproven GauntletsThe Wyrmrest Accord Revered for
Sabatons of Draconic Vigor and
Breastplate of the Solemn Council (you get:
Cloak of Peaceful Resolutions at honored...)
The Sons of Hodir for
Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle
