While I understand Blizzard's desire to get people to obtain item upgrades through raids and not badges, in a setting where you are competing against 24 other people, that is just not going to fulfill all 17 item slots. Even disregarding idols/relics/wands/etc..., it still leaves quite a bit to be desired, particularly in the universal trinket/ring/neck slots. Some modicum of use from the spellcaster or melee dps trinkets would be nice, though I'm sure others will expound on their faults to a larger and better margin then I could (though I do like the healing trinket). What I question, is why on the list do mail-wearers get boots and the rest of us do not? Particularly when recognizing that the last time we had boots from badge gear was with Valorous badges. I hope this either indicates they will add boots for other armor classes (something I would rejoice over as I am in dire need of an upgrade), or it will be removed from the list, either way, equality please, if not some measure of quality too. (and god speed to elemental shaman's, there is truly no end to their misery, see: Cloaks)
