Oh, and a comment on this from the article...

"you'll end up with 53 Emblems, more than enough to purchase most of the Emblem gear".

BZZZZZTTTTT!!!!! try again. There's six pieces of conquest gear that I'd want to purchase on my pally tank:

19 - [Shard of the Crystal Forest]
28 - [Gauntlets of the Royal Watch]
28 - [Shieldwarder Girdle]
39 - [Wyrmguard Legplates]
58 - [Conqueror's Aegis Faceguard]
58 - [Conqueror's Aegis Breastplate]
==
230 - [Emblem of Conquest] total.

So that's 5 days of heroics?

I think he meant enough to pick up any one piece of emblem gear.

Krick I think you misunderstood.

"you'll end up with 53 Emblems, more than enough to purchase most of the Emblem gear".

I believe he means you'll be able to purchase almost any individual piece. The most expensive pieces you listed cost 58, only 5 shy of the number obtained from this run.

Krick - I'm quite positive he meant that with 53 Emblems you'll have more than enough for ANY piece of Emblem gear (bar tier), not EVERY.

Wyrmguard Legplates? Why?

Wyrmguard Legplates?

You are just using those to tank heroics, right?
Because they utterly suck for serious content.

I haven't actually purchased the Wyrmguard Legplates and I don't plan to. I was just listing all the conquest gear that is appropriate for a prot pally to figure out the maximum badges needed.

I think that unless I get something better first, I'm going to save up emblems of conquest and convert them to emblems of valor and purchase Valorous Redemption Legguards. I'll probably get the Valorous Redemption Shoulderguards the same way.

I think having both 2-piece set bonuses at the same time will be pretty cool...

Valorous Redemption Plate:
[Valorous Redemption Legguards]
[Valorous Redemption Shoulderguards]
(2) Set: Increases the damage dealt by your Hammer of the Righteous by 10%

Conqueror's Aegis Plate:
[Conqueror's Aegis Breastplate]
[Conqueror's Aegis Faceguard]
(2) Set: Increases the damage done by your Seals of Vengeance, Corruption, and Righteousness by 10%.

11 hours straight in a row?

If so, that's really sad.

Have you actually played World of Warcraft, Emophia? Spoken to any of the people who play alongside you?
