Where to now?

[Simulacra]

my team is pretty well geared with most conquest badge items and crafted gear, I farm the same old instances over an over but can't bring myself to go into them anymore: Grundrak/DTK/HoL/VH/UK. I've had a few days off and I just sit there in Dal and cbf to go to any of them. There's still the sword in UP I want but I've looked through all the loot on the 5 mans for instances I've never been to and that's the only thing I want from any of them. I'm not an achievement junky so I'm not concerned about going into other instances, but I am a gear junky lol. I guess it's HToC?

they don't have the valor badge shoulders/wrists but I can't see that the valor badge are that much better than the pvp ones or at least not 60 badges better

buy the bracers when you see them on AH, they usually go for 500-900g. Oh and hold off on farming, they may introduce a new heroic badge (like the sunwell stuff), so dont burn out now!

oh and do some PuG raids! Got quite a few upgrades for my tank on raids.

Trial of the Champion is your next destination.

Run it normal to get used to jousting and get your trinkets.
Then farm it on heroic for the tanking sword, and mace/dagger for the shammies. You could also consider farming Hadronox heroic for the Essence of Gossamar tanking trinket. Goes nice with the ToC trinket, especially if you are a sta junkie.

Thx Coyote - good call. I did CoS yesterday for the first time and it was a lot of fun, going for a timed run right now and hoping for a drake lol, need to put the fun back in the game and stop treating it like a job I guess :P

You could add 183 stam to your tank just by re-gemming and re-enchanting properly, with talents taht would put you way over 30k. Who needs 565 def

lol yeah - I'm a def junky - going to be regemming soon. I also have that nice stam trinket from brewfest that I can use instead of the pantheon one. I like having more def as it gives me more options with gear, I've been playing around with the battlemaster hit trinket and I think you caught my armory when I'd swapped it out giving me huge def

You're definitely ready to setup up to ToC. Between that and badges, you'll get about the best pre-raid gear you can get.

I was going to make the same comment. I'd recommend dropping some defense and pick up some +sta.

Looks pretty good otherwise. Good luck.

As another poster said, I'm also working through COS for the drakes for my team. Never got around to doing that before.

I did my timed run and finished in 17 mins, started looking for my reins and couldnt find them in the chest - raised a ticket with a gm.....I'm an idiot lol, didn't know the I had to kill the infinite corrupter to get them ha ha. Oh well, I'll try again today

edit: got it - woot! I read that the easiest way was to leave arthas at the other side of the town hall and just go there yourself - worked well and I had 3 mins left before I started the encounter with the infinite corrupter - nice

Another consideration...

In Cataclysm, which will be out sometime, every tanking class will have crit immunity from talents alone. So we won't need defense at all. It wouldn't hurt to have a decent stamina, armor, dodge, parry, block (whatever you use) set.
