Patch 3.2 PTR: Badge of Triumph loot gallery

We've spent a bit of time on the Patch 3.2 PTR compiling images of the new badge loot available with Emblems of Triumph. You'll find the vendors in the usual spot -- by your specific faction's other badge vendors. There's quite an assortment of pieces available, though still no Elemental gear (thanks Blizzard!).
As with all PTR foofaraw, the stats, names, and most certainly art for these pieces can and may change by the time Patch 3.2 goes live, so give feedback if you think something's amiss on the Test Realm Forum.
For now, drool away at the item level 245 loot.

that is all pretty sick. are the costs similar to current badge prices? (80 each for head/shoulders, 25 for sigil, etc)?

So, am I the only one that notices that there's only one tanking Libram and it only has a chance to give you dodge rating? I mean, I love avoidance as much as the next pally tank, but come on, a little block value or rating love would be awesome. As far as I'm concerned, I want Libram of Obstruction, pt.2: the Obstructionator!

Dodge is an excellent stat for Paladin tanks. That libram is pretty solid.

I would prefer a libram that gave half that amount of dodge value but applied it 100% of the time. Raids cannot afford tanks that have defenses decided by the random number generator.
The Vengeance libram (+200 strength chance on Vengeance ticks) is possibly more reliable effective health, but it would depend on the procs per minute of those two librams.
Both are pretty crap for iLevel 245.

"Raids cannot afford tanks that have defenses decided by the random number generator. "
This is a joke right? Avoidance is wholly decided by a random number generator. The only way a healer will be able to tell if a tank has this proc or not is if they're taking a ton of tiny hits, and in that case, the damage is so steady that it wouldn't cause a big spike in damage anyway.
Based on uptime, the dodge bonus will average out to some other dodge rating value.
You might have had a point if you'd said "Raids cannot afford tanks that have defense cap decided by the random number generator. " but considering dodge (and other avoidance stats) are RNG based, your statement makes no sense.

Considering hunters, topping hit rating with 8% (262 points without focus), we cap this with 2-3 gear items (I see item here with 120 hit points). But hit rating keeps accumulating with standard tier up to 12% and more, which is a waste... hit seems favoured too much in the hunter gear compared to armor penetration, haste, etc.

how? i've tried downloading ptr client every hour for past 2 days and it's still not authorized, so how is anyone even on the PTR? i copied a char over but you still need a client to get on it.

once again ele shammies get shafted on badge gear, not really a suprise though

I am interested in knowing which Tier items are available at this vendor. Is that available yet?

I think I just had a roguegasm.

Anyone else notice the names of the armors? I know alot of people are not really lore buffs but if the names of these armors are any indication, some unexpected guests might be showing up to try and take on Arthas. Most importantly Turalyon and his wife Alleria. Perhaps even the return of Malfurion. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but as the senior ranking Paladin Turalyon would have a big bone to pick with the traitor Arthas.

Look at the priest set with the with the +haste rating stat. One of the set bonuses is that it increases the duration of devouring plague by 61 seconds? 61 really? or Am I seeing it wrong.

Yay another set of badge gear with no elemental shaman love! Wait i see a totem and 1 piece of cloth gear that would work. Thanks blizz you @$$holes

Probably a typo on the 25-Man Healer Trinket:
+128 Intellect
Use: Gain 599 Spell power for 20 seconds (20 second cooldown).
+599 Spellpower all the time? Can't see that staying the way it is.

I hope it's not a typo that the cloth helms will be BoE. My main can earn one for my alt WooHoo!
