Joel’s Scattered Thoughts

The New Level 70 Tanking Gear Guide - Warriors - TankingTips.com has a good list of gear and where to get it. My warrior is almost 67 so it’s time to start amassing this gear. I have the greaves already and I’m about halfway to getting the shield.

Step 1: Quest Time
X Feet: Flesh Beast’s Metal Greaves
# Head: Myrmidon’s Headdress
# Neck: Mark of the Ravenguard
# Trinket: Dabiri’s Enigma
# Waist: Sha’tari Vindicator’s Waistguard
# Wrist: Sha’tari Wrought Armguards
# Weapon: Grom’tor’s Charge
# Ring: Protector’s Mark of the Redemption

Step 2: Battlegrounds
# Shoulders: Gladiator’s Plate Shoulders
# Shield: Gladiator’s Shield Wall

Step 3: Instances
# Back: Devilshark Cape Warlord Kalithresh, Steam Vaults
# Hands: Gauntlets of the Bold Warlord Kalithresh, Steam Vaults
# Chest: Breastplate of the Bold Harbinger Skyriss, The Arcatraz
# Trinket: Adamantine Figurine Blackheart the Inciter, Shadow Labyrinth
# Ring: Iron Band of the Unbreakable Lieutenant Drake, Old Hillsbrad Foothills

Step 4: Grind that Rep
# Legs: Timewarden’s Leggings

Step 5: Gyro-balanced Khorium Destroyer

If I can get my hunter in on a heroic run I can make the gun - I’m not counting on it though. Mind you, we do have a guild engineer who I can probably browbeat into making me the gun. We made sure when picking the professions for our static group that we covered all the bases.

-= The Khorium Toolbox=-: Surveying Your Natural Resources gives an overview of Cartographer Routes. I really should do more gathering on my toons, and this looks like it would simplify gathering a lot.

After reading Rochelle’s entry at Tankhard about the pain of off-specs, I think I’m going to head down this path for my warrior: Warrior (11/3/47) - World of Warcraft. Rochelle was right about not needing the improved shield bash, so I’m going to at least dip my toes into Cruelty. This is basically my current one with my last three talent points going into Cruelty, so I don’t need to respec just yet. If Cruelty works for me, I’m not sure what I should drop to get the full 5 points - maybe drop down to 3/5 anticipation?
