Aldor vs Scryers Follow

#1 Nov 24 2007 at 11:03 AM Rating: Decent
Which is better? I went with scryers for the http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?source=live;witem=29134;locale=enUS.
But know im starting to doubt my choice.

Btw, im probably going to end up tanking. and I havent done any quests for scryers yet, been busy with other quests and such.

Thanks in advance

I found the comparison over at wowwiki.com useful before I chose...

I went Aldor as a protection warrior, mainly because I felt the relatively cheap and easy-to-obtain Felsteel Gloves aren't too much of a downgrade from the Scryer Gloves. And I wanted the Vindicator's Hauberk.

That said, there are enough tanking gear options at 70 that you could easily make either work.

aldor>scryers.

the felsteel set is easily obtainable and allows you flexibility. you can gem +12 stam if you have enough avoidance (30% combined dodge/parry), or later on when you get more epic pieces, you can gem for more avoidance.

also, vindicator's hauberk ftw, just because you can get it so easily, and for a decent amount of stam and dodge.

There is a quest in lower city I believe but thats only seconds hand info. I've never actually found the person or known anyone who has done it.

Imo, scryers > aldor.

You don't need the chest from Aldor, since you'll get a much better one from running Mech a few odd times. I'd look mostly to the enchants you get at honored/exalted. I went scryers on my hunter and aldor on my warrior, atm I wanna go completely the other way around.

no, you don't need the chest from aldor, there are others like the breastplate of the warbringer from quest rewards, but if you are unlucky and can't get the jadeskull breastplate from mech despite running it a dozen times (like me), then you need an easily obtainable chestpiece. the extra defense on the vindicator's hauberk also allows you to alter your itemization a bit to lean towards more stam or avoidance as needed.

which enchants are you referring to, the shoulder inscriptions? they're comparable. scryer dps = 15 crit rating and 20 AP, aldor dps = 10 crit rating and 30 AP. scryer tank = 15 defense and 10 dodge, aldor tank = 10 defense and 15 dodge (aldor tank inscription ftw, more avoidance).

from wowhead's Aldor page: "To change your faction from the Scryers to the Aldor to access their crafting recipes (and undo all reputation progress you have made), find Sha'nir, an Aldor in Lower City. She offers a repeatable quest for 8x [Dreadfang Venom Sac]. Once you are neutral with the Aldor, you may no longer receive this quest. "
