Really, if you’re not interested in ‘lookit mah shinies’ then move on.  I can’t help bursting with glee at two of my recent aquisions though so those as can bear it please stay and share my happy moment *ahem*.

Lightwalkers has been, in my mind anyway, terribly unlucky about its tier 6 shoulder tokens.  About 5 months ago I mentioned getting my [Dragon-Quake Shouldergards], or rather cried, as I think they’re some of the ugliest end-game healing shoulders out there.  I was never lucky with drops and, even when I changed main to my shaman and started doing Mount Hyjal / Black Temple shaman healing shoulders were few and far between.  The pvp season 2 ones would have been an upgrade but I was utterly burned out on pvp (something I’m only now getting over) and so I toddled along with my terrible pre-tier-4 shoulders in Black Temple.

Things picked up, though, and we got to Reliquary of Souls an then to Mother Sharaz, both of whom drop rather nice shaman healing shoulders - [The Wavemender's Mantle] and [Skyshatter Shoulderpads] respectively.  Each week would come and each week RoS would fail to drop anything and Mother would hand out multiple [Pauldrons of the Forgotten Conqueror] and [Pauldrons of the Forgotten Vanquisher].

We’ve kept running Black Temple post-nerf  to tie off some loose ends (Illidari Council and Illidan) and to squeeze a few more shinies out for some of our newer members (and some older ones like me who’ve been unlucky).   This week, as you might have guessed, Mother handed out one pair of [Pauldrons of the Forgotten Protector].  I shelled out about 2/3rds of my dkp but I would have paid it all - these shoulders were an amazing upgrade for me (and double as awesome dps shoulders) and look bloody amazing.  Best looking t6 shoulders in my totally and utterly unbiased opinion *cough*.

Wow, where shoulderpads are as wide as you are tall.  Hehe.
