When yer adventurin’ y’need the right gear for the job an’ some stuff is just a lot better fer a particular job than others. Sometimes somethin’ comes along, though, that ye never thought ye’d get…

This post will be full of gleeful roguishness - other classes might want to flee before I start spouting stuff about all those dreadfully boring things that raiding rogues talk about.

Are they gone? Good!

A simple happy thing made me cheer yesterday. I got my t4 chest! Not the biggest or most monumental of rogueish things but, my fellow stealthy, stabby, stalkers you can maybe understand my glee when I tell you that I will now no longer have to do what I had dreaded - break my tier four, two piece bonus. Happy as a pig in muck am I !

I suppose I should add here that, up until now, luck has had it that I only grabbed myself two pieces of tier four before being catapulted into tier five / tier six content - shoulders and gloves.

This terrible, doom-bringing decision had been looming over me for the past two weeks since the guild downed Az’galor - try for tier six gloves and break the bonus or stay with that delicious bonus and hope to get an upgrade elsewhere? I had resigned myself to the fact that if I did get the gloves I would break the set - it was a big enough dps upgrade to be worth it and I badly need to catch up gear-wise to the rest of the rogues.

Currently, then, with my shiny new chestpiece (which replaced the s1 chest - blech), I have the choice of swapping in something to either the glove or shoulder slot. My inventory, happily, holds a pair of [Shoulderpads of the Silvermoon Retainer] which are a pretty nice upgrade to the [Netherblade Shoulders]. Of course, some juggling may occur if I do manage to grab the tier six gloves (I’m up against some stiff competition from the mages…) but, until that time, I can rest happy in the knowledge that my 1s/5r is safe for a little while longer yet!
