    Ulduar - Gear Check (Warrior)

    Hi Folks

    Ulduar is comming closer and I thought it might be a good idea to start a disscussion about what gear you want to have in ulduar. Yesterday mmo released a loot list : Patch 3.1 - Ulduar PTR 25-Man Loot List pretty useful to set up your gear I think.

    Anyway, currently I'm running diffrent gear sets. I have a:

    • Max. Effective Health with enough expertise/hit for good tps
    • Max. Hit/Expertise for Tps gear
    • Max. Avoidance I don't know what for but I just made it ^^
    • Max. Block Value/Rating for fun + huge SS crits ¦]
    • A special. Trash set with balanced hit/expertise + lot of crit. to apply many deep wounds.
    certainly the max. effective health is priority nr. 1 this is what you want to have for progression raids.

    So if anyone made a such a gear list would be great if you could post it. I looked up the main/off hand + ranged weapon + trinkets so far since you have no real option here.

    Max. Effective Health

    1. Main Hand - http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...t_9722_170.jpg
    2. Off - Hand http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...ot_9722_29.jpg 2 x 24 sta.
    3. Ranged - http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...t_9722_306.jpg
    4. Trinket 1 - http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...t_9722_291.jpg
    5. Trinket 2 - Essence of Gossamer - Item - World of Warcraft lol

    Another discussion is the set bonus:

    4x T8 or 2 x T7/ 2x T8 ?

    Well if you tank a boss/nps who has hard magic hits 4 x T8 it's a huge bonus. If you have a boss/npc like patchwork the set bonus is useless.

    When it comes down to Max. effective health I think you proabably gimp yourself too muge when you go 2 x 2. But I can imagine wearing a trash set with 2 x 2 I definetly give it a try.

    that's all so far, sry about my english ¦[

    I had begun looking into Ulduar gear for things I expect to be keeping an eye out for. Here was my list of current best in slot Prot Warrior gear (obviously that varies a lot depending on what you are doing) vs 3.1 Ulduar gear.
    Recepie for BS:
    Belt - Indestructible Plate Girdle
    Feet - Spiked Deathdealers

    Weapon Enchant: - Blade Ward

    New Gem - Solid Stormjewel

    wow, awesome!

    Good job squirrel. I will add the bosses where this stuff drops.

    In our raid guild we have 6 tanks atm. 3 Warrior, 2 Pallys, 1 Druid. We work with need lists and swap a lot during the raids so it's really useful to have such a list where you can see which boss drops what item.

    Is it just me or is there a lot of pretty lackluster gear in Ulduar? I mean, where did all the expertise go?

    Regarding your gear choices. I'd go with The Leviathan's Coil - Item - World of Warcraft in your second ring slot.
    The Emblem of Conquest belt is also very nice: Shieldwarder Girdle - Item - World of Warcraft

    3.09 - 3.1 gear spreadsheet

    Hi guys,

    As an alternative I created a spreadsheet a few weeks ago with a lot of the tanking loot that MMO reported. The spreadsheet will let you input what gear you have on currently and then it'll compare the loot for each slot that's coming out in Ulduar against what you input (letting you see the end differences in stats).

    Here's the link: http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f97/4...tml#post196762

    Hope it helps,
    Sap

    Ya from what I have seen I haven't been too thrilled with the 3.1 gear for tanks yet but hopefully that is simply due to not seeing it all yet. My last choice for gear in current content is high avoidance / block gear and yet a lot of the 3.1 stuff seems like it focuses on that instead of health / dps-tps gear. Maybe the dynamic of fights will change greatly, will have to wait and see.

    I don't really do the PTR I leech off of other people's experience lawl, but then isn't that what education is in the first place? Giving people knowledge without them having to suffer through the same mistakes you make? Anyway I am sure I will more then cover my fair share of mistakes learning things once 3.1 actually goes live.

    EDIT: I updated my list with the ring/belt you suggested

    Thanks for the update with the bosses attatched to the loot. Still the loot isn't very impressive, hopefully we can get some more info on Hard-mode loot that is very worthwhile and a massive upgrade!
