By now, you’ve almost certainly heard about the change to itemization whereby the +Healing and +Spell Damage stats are being retired for the less specialized Spell Power stat. What, exactly does this mean, though, and what can you expect at the release of Patch 3.0?

Boubouille over at MMO-Champion recently posted an in depth preview of patch 2.1.0 (registration required to view) which — among tons of other content — includes pictures of Tier 6 armor for all of the classes. Every time the graphics for a new tier of armor is released, it gives me hope that the previous tiers will somehow become more accessible, but I suppose that’s the original EverQuest player in me. I don’t like the look of the druid Tier 6 armor, but I suppose we look like totems in treeform so we may as well look like totems out of treeform, too. As always, the priest equivalent looks amazing, and I admit to feeling armor envy. I wish someone would tell the basement programmers at Blizzard that nature includes more colors than green and brown. There are purple mountains, blue skies, and every other color in flowers. I’d like to see more colors incorporated into some of our armor sets.
The stats on all Tier 5 armor are also getting an overhaul, and the MMO-Champion article includes links to the updated Nordrassil Harness (Feral), Raiment (Restoration), and Regalia (Balance) sets. In addition to the armor preview, the Gift of the Wild spell icon is getting a facelift. Before my dual-purpose macro for casting Mark/Gift, I created a macro that used a different icon for my Gift spell, so it’s nice to see them recognize and correct this annoyance.
There is a ton of additional information applicable to all classes — including all new jewelcrafting recipes, Darkmoon Faire upgrades, new mounts and weapon graphics, and reputation guides for Skyguards and Netherdrakes — so be sure to check out the article for yourself!

OMG.. Wow.. That priest armor is hands down the most AWESOME armor I’ve ever seen. I’m serious. I have to level my priest now. So much better than the rogue red and black crap with the worst shoulders ever.
Surprisingly, I think the best part are the shoulders with the blindfolded human faces … you’d look like the blind hand of justice throwing Shadow Words left and right.
