Comparison of Warrior Armor via WoWhead
This is not really an actual post, more like research notes. The comparison only focuses on looking for overall balance.
- Helm – Tossup between [Helm of Vital Protection] and [Helm of the Great Wyrm].
- Neck – [Nexus War Champion Beads].
- Shoulders – [Valorous Dreadnaught Pauldrons].
- Back – [Platinum Mesh Cloak].
- Chest – [Breastplate of Tormented Rage], but [Dragonstorm Breastplate] comes close.
- Bracer -[Bracers of the Unholy Knight], then [Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets].
- Hands -[Valorous Dreadnaught Handguards].
- Belt -[Ablative Chitin Girdle] .
- Pants -[Legplates of Soveregnty], thats a LOT of expertise.
- Boots -[Sabatons of Endurance], Not much choice in boots
.
- Rings -No need to choose just two. Rings + trinkets are the best to use to swap out on fights, besides weapons and shields.
- Trinkets – Same as above, though I think I forgot a few.
- Weapon – [Last Laugh] ftw. Humans and deep wound spec warriors might want to aim for [Broken Promise] instead.
- Shield -Shields are very situational; grab a couple.
- Ranged Weapon – [Armor Plated Combat Shotgun], enough said.

Did you do all of these comparisons manually via WoWHead? I plugged some numbers into LootRank a couple of weeks ago and it came up with about what you’re stating here; it’s so close it’s kind of scary actually.
Check it out if you want, sorry for the long URL: http://www.lootrank.com/wow/wr.asp?Cla=1&Art=1&Max=5&Gem=3&Str=40&Arm=6&Sta=78&Def=80&Agi=65&Dod=75&mhit=30&blv=45&blr=30&par=50&Exp=60&Ver=5&usr=&ser=&grp=www&i4=0&j1=0&j2=0&k1=0&k3=0&k4=0&k5=0

Yeah, I did. Only afterward, when I posted it, did I realize that wowhead had rank points like lootrank does @_@. I just mainly eyeballed it and decided at the moment what was probably best.
