Another Gear QuestionFollow

Hi guys and gals,

I am a feral spec druid and my main role is tanking. I have fairly good gear and have collected most badge rewards except for the belt and chest.

I have searched armoury and various threads regarding upgrades especially for Heavy Clefthoof Chest and am not sure which chest to look for besides the T4 piece from Mag as our Guild is currently in SSC and TK. Kara and Gruul's are both on farm and we are progressing through ZA. It looks like its either going to be a while before we do Mag or may even bypass him as quite a few guildies already have their T4 chests from running Mag with their previous guild.

I have the chest drop from Nightbane as a part of my DPS set and have all the mats for the Shadowprowler's chest obtainable through Violet Eye rep.

In your opinions, what would you select as your chest upgrade other than the T4 piece?

Wildpaw

Vestments of Hibernation is also good for tanking and DPS w/ +6 Stats, if you don't mind losing some Stam. It's not quite as good as the S3 chest or T4, but it's a lot easier to get (if you're like me and don't enjoy PvP and your guild won't go after Mag).

I use the scores given on Emmerald's lists and divide how many tankpts upgrade it is by the number of badges it costs to see which is the best investment to aim for first.

Be aware though that there are a heap of new BT level badge rewards coming out in the next patch. I would probably save up the badges and spend them on those items. Here is a link to all the new badge items - some of them are amazing!

Vestments have the added advantage of being both a DPS and a tanking upgrade, where the cloak is only for tanking, and doesn't help you generate extra threat. That being said, depending how fast you can rake in badges, you may want to watch for any signs for 2.4 to go live; there are some ilevel 140+ BoJ items (that's BT/Hyjal level gear).
