My thought on the brewfest trinket is that it's situationally a decent trinket but the lack of any proc or on-use ability that's relevant makes it not quite as awesome as it could be.

I apologise if I've hijacked your post.<br /><br />It seems like the higher gear levels are focusing more on secondary stats (armor penetration, etc) and less on stamina and agility. This has led to me sticking more and more PvP gear in my tanking set. <br /><br />I'm wondering what the effect of filling more and more slots with PvP gear will be? That resilience must mean wasted item-budget somewhere. Will I eventually end up with threat issues? Mitigation issues? Or is PvP gear fine for raid tanking?<br /><br />Any comments would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-10406317284952064042009-09-21T15:02:01.824-07:002009-09-21T15:02:01.824-07:00Genesis, I should probably state this more clearly...Genesis, I should probably state this more clearly when I post this, but in general if there is a crafted item that is easily obtainable that is better than a drop, I omit listing that drop.

Origin's ranked ...Frederic, thanks for posting. Origin's ranked that low because mostly of threat; at ToC levels of encounters threat becomes a lot more important, I feel. Plus it's Rawr's value, and Rawr ranks threat fairly highly. When wowhead updates more of the gear I"ll revise the rankings a bit, but even then I'll likely revise my rankings to make threat stats a bit more valuable. Almost every single boss in ToC is of the 'push threat to the limit' variety, and the gear choices should reflect that somewhat.<br /><br />Redhawk, Staff of the Plaguehound is probably around the same as Feral Staff of Fury, give or take; they're good or bad for different fights. The reason I left Plaguehound off is that it's significantly harder to obtain.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-13973877764171334452009-09-09T23:29:58.393-07:002009-09-09T23:29:58.393-07:00Just a quick question, The Staff of the Plaguehoun...Just a quick question, The Staff of the Plaguehound with +150 stamina and good amount of agility is not listed while the last weapon on the list is a level 200 weapon with armor.

In this case, it's doing WG or spending badges on furious gear or getting Armbands of the Wary Lookout, so you should simply consider Thrusting Bands worse than other items on the list and go for them instead. <br /><br />I try not to list every single item possible; that would make the list way too long and way too annoying. Instead, I try and showcase all the new gear from the latest patch, show the last gear from the prior patch, and give the entry-level gear that anyone can get outside of raids.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-52393950096600567792009-09-03T18:34:28.097-07:002009-09-03T18:34:28.097-07:00i believe Thrusting Bands should be on there as we...i believe Thrusting Bands should be on there as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-21784776319832941112009-09-03T11:47:36.264-07:002009-09-03T11:47:36.264-07:00dtc - I totally spaced about putting the ring on t...dtc - I totally spaced about putting the ring on the list.
