We are just talking about 70-80 aren't we? Because it being terrible pre-70 is nothing knew at all, but there is a bunch of great stuff you can make for yourself with Northrend recipes. You have been doing the dailies right?
Quick random question - is it possible to change color settings so that WoW is entirely in grayscale? I've noticed I get higher FPS when I'm a ghost, and I'm wondering if it'd be easier to play Wrath on my laptop (well below the minimum system reqs, but it ran BC tolerably) if it was all black and white.
I bet your FPS is better because you can't see any enemies/players while dead.

Entirely possible. Does this mean I have no shot at running wrath on a Powerbook with 512 megs of ram, a G4 processor, and a 256 meg radeon card?
Well, if you have to level a new character, you can join me since I'm doing just that.
What server? Horde/alliance? I may need to take you up on this.
I was hoping my character would be on WoW armory so I could check there, but no luck.
As a side note, while I'm not surprised to see other characters named "Jinsuke" on other servers, I am really surprised to see other characters named "Hatbox." Weird.
Whatever server and side you want. I'm only at level 10 so it don't matter
Moreover, a quick poll of Jewelcrafting Specialist and former WWF Superstar "Hillbilly Jim" reveals that he supports my belief that a JC should have the market in his mind at all times is valid.
Disagree with me if you like, but don't embarass yourself by matching your opinion against a former professional wrestler.

Hillbilly Jim - probably dead in a gutter somewhere, but still settling disagreements among mankind long after he dumped his overalls in a dusty corner of the shack.
I'd just feel...wrong, wearing leather on my warrior. I'm sure it sounds weird, but that's just me.
One of the most recent examples would be Sunwell crafted stuff. According to our resident DPS warrior, the leather gloves were the best in slot for them.
Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but I have no reason to doubt him, and really, unless you're tanking the extra armour is usually worthless to you. The vast majority of aoe damage (Vanilla and TBC, at least) is some form of magic, so it's not like an extra 0.1% physical mitigation is going to save you.
It's only an issue for pvp and soloing, and even then, a couple non-plate pieces can still be easily justified if you're jumping from, say, uncommon or rare plate to epic leather.
suggestion: don't mine & herb. you can only have one option on the minimap toggle
I disagree. There's nothing difficult about hotkeying a toggle between the two and hitting it every so often while travelling. Even if you don't do that, I can't tell you how many herbs or mining nodes I've noticed while roaming about. Mining my way through Burning Steppes, and oh look, a black lotus! Or herbing my way through Winterspring and, wow, 2 rich thorium veins back to back! Sure, it's not super convenient, but it's worked out quite well for me so far.
I think I'm down to 4 dual gatherers now; 2 are mining/herbalism, 1 is skinning/mining and the other is skinning/herbalism.

According to Wowhead, those leather sunwell gloves are the best physical dps gloves (or were, pre-WotLK). But the thing is, the plate sunwell gloves were also awesome, and the difference (if I recall correctly) wasn't enormous.
So basically, if you're a bleeding-edge content raider, an absolute 'must-have-best-in-slot' person, then yeah, armor type doesn't matter. Since I'm not, then it's not really going to cost me much to stick with what I am "supposed" (look at the quotes before you rage, hippies) to be wearing.
But again, if it were a question of Sunwell Leather Gloves (whatever they're called) versus Blue Quest Reward of Doom, then sure, huge benefits, no question. I just wouldn't roll against a rogue or druid on them (not applicable in this case since they're crafted, but you see where I'm coming from) if it ever came down to it.
That's a holdover from my Tier 0 pugging days when druids would roll on Shadowcraft. Yes, I know they could use it too, but urg. The drop rates on those pieces were shit as it was.

Right, I understand that technically, taking the leather would be the smarter move mathematically speaking.
Still though, I just can't bring myself to do it. If I can wear plate on my Paladin/Warrior/DK, i'm going to wear plate. Come hell or high-water, and no amount of number crunching is going to change that.
And as noted above, I'll do try to stick to the highest armour class my character can wear, and I usually won't roll against someone who has a lower armour cap for a piece (healing cloth while on my druid, for example), but if it's going to be sharded or vendored, I'll often snag such upgrades until I can get a better piece that is AC appropriate.
I'd rather lose 500 armour that I shouldn't be using in the first place than cheat myself out of HP/Mana/AP/SP/other assorted stats.
It does occasionally make the "clown suit" situation that much worse, however.

Jim Morris- aka Hillbilly Jim- is alive and well these days, hosting a country music channel on Sirius satellite radio. So says wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillbilly_Jim

I saw so many warriors with the Bladed Shoulderpads of the Merciless from Kara and it just stuck in my craw every time. It just looked wrong as all hell.

Thought I haven't come across such a situation with my warrior just yet, I can tell this will be my mindset at that point. Chances are, if DPS leather drops and a rogue rolls for it, I'm not going to step in and roll against him.
so are [tank spec] supposed to be hard to kill for [melee spec]?
yes
Amusingly, while I was waiting at the Ulduar meeting stone last night with my 78 DK, a 76 warrior came up and wanted to duel.
Now, typically I don't duel, but I had just switched into my tanking gear/Frost presence, giving me 20.5k hp and 21.2k armor unbuffed and it appeared he was using a sword and board, so he was prot. So I figured, what the hell.
I won, eventually, but that was a pretty crazy fight. Hehe, tank vs. tank fights.
I have no sympathy people complaining about the usefulness of their trade skill

Yeah being an enchanter must suck, what with being able to sell the stuff you gather on the AH with zero deposit, and every class in the game ultimately needing your services.

But one of the dailies at Honored is super cool. If it doesn't bug out and kill you repeatedly.
How do those compare to the inscription shoulder enchants?
I called it Deathstriker intentionally to date myself. That, and Deathstriker is a much better name.
Have my babies.
I bet your FPS is better because you can't see any enemies/players while dead.
someone was probably sick of making database errors or something with death strikers
why didn't they change the name of the green nobody probably ever used? hell if I know.
I think it's because there was an oversight where there was a series of green axes called 'Death Striker of the _____' and so they changed the name.
Entirely possible. Does this mean I have no shot at running wrath on a Powerbook with 512 megs of ram, a G4 processor, and a 256 meg radeon card?
Not sure. I'm at work, so I can't really check.
The second stat is the same but the first stat is a bit less than triple on the inscriptor's shoulders.
The inscription shoulder enchant gives 64 more AP according to wowhead.
Hodir: 40 AP, 15 CR
Inscription: 104 AP, 15 CR
Nice.
1 more point in Inscription and I get that sweet sweet enchant.
I disagree.

Of course you do.

Well, I can't argue against that.
You win. :^: Well played.
