Sunwell Radiance has gotten me thinking: if our Dodge chance gets reduced by 20%, why do we have so much Dodge on our Sunwell tanking set? Let's make a gear list:

[Helm of Uther's Resolve]
[Collar of the Pit Lord]
[Spaulders of the Thalassian Defender]
[Crimson Paragon's Cover]
[Heroic Judicator's Chestguard]
[Lightbringer Wristguards]
[Lightbringer Handguards]
[Lightbringer Waistguard]
[Judicator's Legguards]
[Lightbringer Stompers]
[Item not found!]

Alternate title: My feeble attempt to get a Brutal Gladiator's Gavel for my Prot set.

Attack power and agility will do in sufficient quantities, too. Intellect, mana regeneration, and spell damage are usually distractions.

As a result of this conventional wisdom, we often overlook some amazing items that don't fit neatly into our little stat equivalency chart. Most...

At this stage in the game, most of us get a good laugh at the almost assuredly awful Protection Paladins who run around using Warrior tanking weapons. They're usually the type that can only do Slave Pens and the Mechanar – but not Nethermancer Sepethrea, because she's "hard". We cringe when we join a group on our alts and we get one of them, because it invariably means that your connection is going to "drop" before the first boss, or that the police are at your door and you...
