The sense I'm developing is that Expertise is the warrior tool of choice to goose agro. While it's by no means a bad thing for a pali, it seems to me that spell damage is the better itemization to pursue for us. I think of it as something like agility is for us... very nice to have, but not in our core set of desires.
Am I missing something?
I'm a bit concerned about all the spell hit showing up in the new gear. I'm getting the sense that it may be needed in the future.
For the new badges, I'll be snabbing
[Chestplate of Stoicism] over
[Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian]. I'll also be upgrading from
[Unwavering Legguards] to
[Inscribed Legplates of the Aldor]. The pali chest I don't think I'll be picking up, and I don't see a use for the boots.
I picked up
[Shattered Sun Pendant of Resolve] a couple of days ago. I'm finding it really handy... except I wish it would proc a little further into the fight (seems to proc almost immediately, I'd prefer it to be about 10 seconds or more in, after I've taken a bit of damage). I'm Aldor btw.
I'll be picking up the
[Ring of the Stalwart Protector] and retiring my Kara ring to healing.
I was using the Commendation in my AOE tanking gear, but I've dropped it in favour of the Moroes trinket. I found I missed the control that Moroes's trinket gave me on timing a burst of avoidance.
