As expected and requested by a lot of people, the Handwraps of Preserved History got hit pretty hard by the nerfstick. So much for their preserved status.

Ouch. If you're curious where this puts this on the older list, they're below the Savage Gladiator set by about 2 points. This is probably good; people shouldn't have to wear quest blues because those are better than their tier pieces. And there are a lot of good options out there. Still, big nerf inc.

Awesome - I was hoping they'd get nerfed. There is now an upgrade path from this quest blue. =)
awesome thanks for the update. Is this live now or in ptr?
I least I have something to spend all my emblems of heroism on now.
Ah, sorry, anon - should have said. This is a change on the PTR. Live is unchanged.
am I the only one who is excited about that 40 wintergrasp mark helm?
I mean, how much easier could a very, very nice tanking helm be made available than by having a truckload of fun blowing stuff up with vehicles.
Saw it coming so no surprise. But I should have or be so close to T7.10 gloves by the time it goes live I won't care anymore.
I wonder how do you calculate the points and place of an item?
I mean I use rawr, but it is kinda outdated. I mean it is accurate for current items, but I wanna plan ahead. I can't check polearms and it has still FAP on items so 2h maces are not shown as they should be.
Is there some other tool you use?
Anon2 - the new wintergrasp helm is pretty decent. It's a bit worse than the Hateful Glad helm for druids (armor pen instead of crit rating) but it's otherwise identical. It should be a very easy and cheap way to get a good helm early on.
Marino - I use wowhead's ranking system and tweak it as needed. In this case I had to do it by hand, as the item wasn't in their database yet. You can see my rankings for loot in my prior loot listings.
I can't check polearms and it has still FAP on items so 2h maces are not shown as they should be.
Another note on this - you can import the items on Rawr and give them the appropriate FAP to make them show up. Basically, as long as a weapon has FAP it's considered usable by Rawr. So...cheat, and give the polearms and maces what FAP they would have. :)
thx for info, after this bad news i get my t7 cloves 10mins ago :)
This change isn't listed in the PTR patch notes as far as I can tell(reading them and using IE search).
Blizz is pretty good about adding that info to patch notes - but how do we remind them that they left something out of the notes (especially if we're not in the PTR?)
im glad i found this, i had opened a ticket to give my friend the teir 7.5 gloves i picked up, i had too tell him he wasnt getting them.
Great news lol, i can finally get rid of these for some t7 =D
But when does patch 3.0.8 come out in europe? i think its already out in the US but its not out here and i cant find out when it will come out =(
