Breakfast Topic: What piece of Sunwell Badge loot is first on your list?
Proudmoore may have been first, but more and more servers are opening up Smith Hauthaa's inventory by the day. As of 9 PM last night, the total shown on Us.gorgonnash.info was somewhere around 45 servers open, with many more servers less than 5% away. You know what that means: precious, precious items.
My server's had the badge vendor for a few days now, so I have already partaken. I got the Tameless Breeches for my Druid (as shown off on the right). As shameful as it is for me to say, I was still rocking the Heavy Clefthoof, so this was a huge upgrade for me. I even ran a Sethekk Halls heroic later that evening (no Reins of the Raven Lord, alas!) and claimed the Primal Nether for a nice Nethercleft Leg Armor for them, so I pretty much have the ultimate Feral tank pants for non-raiders now. Which is awesome.
As far as my Hunter goes, unfortunately she still has 60 badges left to go until she can get her hands on the Crossbow of Relentless Strikes, but I'm trying to stay strong and not blow the badges I do have on a new ring. 2 weeks of Karazhan and a few heroics on the side, that's my mantra.
What about you? I'm sure you've read up up on all our extensive new badge loot guides and already have a pretty good idea of what you're going to go for. If the vendor is open on your server, what did you buy first? If not, or if you're still saving up those last few badges, what's first on your list?

It's not block rating on that chest, it's block value. sorry to burst your bubble ;) 39 block rating would be Fantastic, though, if it were true.

Actually, I misspoke.
I meant to say "I'm a bit of a block VALUE whore"
So, yeah, I'm still all over that chest piece.

My server just got to Phase 3, so be another week or two before we get the badge, but I've already sheeted out the order in terms of DPS / badge. And I apparently have to respec Fists for the Vanir's.
Hoping Gruul drops me some T4 legs this week so that I'm not stuck with Fel Leather for another month.

Crossbow of Relentless Strikes will be my hunter's new bow as soon as the loot vendor opens up on my realm... And as soon as I get another 29 badges anyway. After that? I dunno, maybe the ring, though I can't afford to loose that much hit right now. Perhaps the legs?

i'm looking forward to getting my Black Temple-quality badge dagger... everyone and their mom is going to have the Scryer's Blade of Focus 3 months from now - mark my words.

I actually blew a ton of badges on Nether Vortex so that I could make my Dragonstrike.

First buy - Priest healer pants. Was still running around in the blue set pants. Then the healer ring. Now saving badges for the (oh so fugly) healing robe, and I'll stop passing on the belt/shoulders we keep sharding in Kara and finally move beyond Primal Mooncloth.
For the hunter, I got the ring. The pants are a bit of an upgrade from T4, but not vast enough to grab them first.
