Gents...need a bit of advice.
I came up 5 points short this week for my S3 chest.
My intent was to gem/enchant it for tanking, switch my BS spec to Swordsmith and craft Blazefury (got all the mats ready). I was going to return to tanking after a long hiatus.

But the 1 week delay got me thinking that I could:
A. Craft the Bulwark (I'm armorsmith now with a BoK already), buy the S2 shoulders and gem/enchant them for tanking and move out smartly...but my weap is the quest axe from SMV.
B. Buy a S2 chest; craft Blazefury and stick executioner on it.
C. Wait a week.

I will be tanking heroics btw.

Thoughts?

how long til S4 comes out? if it isn't long, i would wait until then before you spend any of your hard-earned arena points... though spending honor/points on shoulders is not a bad idea, given the scarcity of tanking shoulders.

what i would do personally if i was in your situation:

Get the S3 shoulders if you have the rating and gem them up.
shoulders are the hardest thing to come by in my experience.

Run Heroic Mechanar until the Sun Eater drops, its a fantastic tanking sword. (It drops off the last boss, dropped for me on my third clear, 1 full clear takes about an hour if you have a decent group and nets you quick badges).

make your Armor Smith chest and the upgrades to it.

or

drop BS all together and grab engineering to make the Tanking and DPS goggles.
totally worth it.

Do you have the shield already? if not, thats a great purchase for PvE. If so, id get the S2 shoulders.
