man, +91 sta on those helms =O Only saw expertise on one of those items but it looks like the 3 new pieces of t6 all have it on there. These stats are crazy, it makes me wonder what WotLK loot will look like is we're already approaching +100 sta and +40/50 dodge/parry ratings on gear. Anyone happen to know the iLevel of this gear? I'm assuming around 155-165.

Don't worry, when WotLK hits, as you level up the ratings will change in their conversion to % value so that, even though you have like 100 dodge rating on a chest, it'll only be like 2% dodge. And remember armor is going to scale as you level too, although Blizzard seems to be trying not to overinflate armor mitigation at the moment.

Anyone seen the new meta gem, +12 def +10% block value, it look so full of win O.o

"Requires 1 yellow gem."

I'm more excited about those shoulders with 68 block value. I mean I like the new meta gem except for the part where it's defense instead of stamina, and the requirement of a yellow gem...whatever lol.

[f4t4bb0t]

will the +10% BV be applied prior or after calculating talents? Say you have 400 BV talented then add the 10% gem thus making your BV 440 or will it be added to Shield Mastery upping your BV by 40%. I kinda confused myself trying to explain it so i hope it makes sense lol.

Wow's always multiplicative.

So it'll be 1BV*1.3*1.1=1.43BV.

I updated my gear thread with all the latest stuff:

Warrior Berg's Tank Gear Rankings (02/10/2008 - wow 2.4) - TheorySpot

I'd assume the meta is multiplicative, but someone has to verify.

[Bodasafa]

What rep do you need to get this gear, are we talking heroic badges?

[f4t4bb0t]

judging by looking at the vendor in the background of the picture it appears it will be purchasable with items that probably drop in the 25 man sunwell.

Thanks for the clarification Klimp, that's what i had assumed.

And nice update on the guide already berg =)

I have a single yellow gem in my helm for the socket bonus(+6 Stam) So im all set. Plus, The 10%SBV would surely be more EH then 60 health
