OK, I have to say it — the Warlock Tier 8 pix…almost make me want to level a warlock. The Putress helm is hottt. The druid set is pretty as well, luckily for me. MMO Champion, as always, seems to be the most comprehensive source for Patch 3.1 information (though you usually find a lot of it regurgitated and reposted on certain blog agggregators.)
And before you go any further, if you haven't already seen the Ulduar preview, go watch it now!
Crafters will have reason to rejoice (and to go to max level) thanks to addition of a few new patterns…links lead to MMO Champion:
- Blacksmithing – Battlelord's Plate Boots, Belt of the Titans, Indestructible Plate Girdle, Plate Girdle of Righteousness, Spiked Deathdealers, Titansteel Spellblade, Treads of Destiny
