Combat Rogue vs. Herald of the Titans
As this is my first post here on PVE Rogues, I thought I had better jump in at the deep end with a Combat gearing guide to Herald of the Titans, as I believe the Title is being removed with patch 4.0.3.
The requirement for this achievement and title is to Defeat Algalon the Observer on 10 Player while having only 226 Item level armour and 232 Item level weapons equipped. Basically it means that you can only use gear from Ulduar (TOC 10 or Icecrown Dungeons at the most).
I have been doing some thinking and referring to the common spread sheets and relevant gearing websites, below is my best in slot list for this specific achievement.
Items do not represent true values if re-forged, my advice is to re-forge to the new hit and expertise caps and gem full haste and agility.
Happy Hunting!

thanks for the good post verde, you have more patience than i do :P
ReplyDeleteguys remember this achievement/title is going away soon so grab it quick before cataclysm is launched.
also remember it's not just you that needs ot be geared in ulduar gear, your whole raid must also adhere to the gear rules so a gear check is probably a good idea to prevent any mistakes.
finally, armor maximum is 226 and weapon maximum is 232, they are seperate, so you cant have any 232 gear, dont forget this!
oh its also worth noting that muti rogues would prolly also benefit from this list as the gear stats are quite similar now.
ReplyDeleteOh yes i forgot to mention that there is also a 'Fantastic' addon called "FREAK" which allows you to check your raid teams gear is viable for both 'Herald of the titans' and 'A tribute to Dedicated Insanity'... My Team is using it at the moment for planning both of these achievements. It truely is a Gem of an addon! :)
ReplyDeleteawesome sounds useful ^^
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome! Man if only I would have actually thought to look for a post regarding this... /facepalm
ReplyDeleteI recently earned this achievement (as mutilate since I felt that spec was better suited for the fight), and I have to say, it was a pain organizing a gearlist. My team also used that add-on and it worked great. As Garona said, your list works well for Mutilate rogues as well, and daggers are relatively easy to get between ICC 5 mans and ToC 10.
A great resource for an awesome title/achievement... definitely not something anyone wants to miss out on!!
