I am constantly reading the WoW forums, tanking blogs, emails, etc and I see the question, “Am I ready for [insert random instance here]?” pop up all the time.

The Answer is Yes.

I could link you to hundreds and hundreds of threads with people asking “Am I ready?” flooded with responses like Yes, Yup, Definitely, etc and a couple tips on what they can do improve their gear if they want a little edge. The fact is that 99% of the time when someone has finally built up the courage to ask the question, they are ready. In fact, often you out gear the content you are asking if you could possibly do!

Sunguard Legplates vs Unwavering Legguards

Let’s Talk about Trinkets!?

What do trinkets have to do with comparing these two leg pieces? Nothing and perhaps everything.

Sunguard Sextant
138 Armor
21 Defense Rating
35 Dodge Rating
23 Expertise Rating

Icon of Unwavering
10 Stamina
30 Block Rating
59 Block Value

Which trinket would you use? If I make the Sunguard one cost 25 badges more than the Unwavering trinket, does that change your decision? Should the cost of an item even matter to you? Not really.
