Fervor of the Frostborn
Binds when picked up
Unique
Trinket
Requires Level 80
Item Level 232
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 114.
Use: Each time you are struck by an attack, you gain 1265 armor. Stacks up to 5 times. Entire effect lasts 20 sec. (Cooldown unknown)

By my calculation, assuming a boss with a 3.0 attack speed, that works out to ~ 3479 armour over the 20 sec duration. (5376 if the boss had a 1.0 attack speed). Granted, my math is not particularly stellar, but my numbers won't be wildly off. Lets compare to:

Furnace Stone
Binds when picked up
Unique
Trinket
Requires Level 80
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 105 (2.67% @ L80).
Use: Increases armor by 5152 for 20 sec. (2 Min Cooldown)

I'm not sold...

Edit: to the poster below me... if you're gunna look at hard mode gear, compare it with other hard mode gear. Uld25 hard mode 2hs deal 244 dps, compared to 281. Uld25 easy mode 2hs deal 232 dps, compared to 255.

I might be wrong here, but isn't the duration refreshed every time you are hit in those 20 seconds? So it should last for 38-40 seconds, and you most likely have 6125 extra armor in the last 20 seconds.

I'd say the skinns are way better then i thought, jet..

----------------------------

Not really that different.

[Syronius]

So now there is going to be different "Quality" levels for epics i see... Same items, different names/models, same stats, but different amounts depending on their item level.

Juggernaut's Vitality ===> Satrina's Impeding Scarab
Fetish of Volatile Power ===> Talisman of Volatile Power

You can do that with like 10 other items.

[Ealyssa]

just means you can re-itemize gems. not a bad trade off imo

And when you play a retpal ?

Do not want arp !!!

[Mazrim Taim]

Could those horde plate pieces be a sneak peak at what the sets are gonna look like (or the shoulders, at least)?

EDIT: I just looked in another thread, and the shoulders do match.

[AK_47]

Some nice loot around here. And Many ArP It seems.

[Rilgon]

So they have an offensive caster DPS trinket, a healer trinket, a tank trinket... and a melee DPS trinket.

...fucking Blizzard. >_<

WTF IS WRONG???

70 ap per strike, stacks 5 times?!?! 5x70 = 350 yes?

Hm just a question, why does a blue ilvl200 trinket from HC NEXUS give more ap on pop than a ilvl232 epic ?
Those 350 ap arent even instant.

Oh im sry, forgot to mention about that crap expertise, wtf? Expertise is a joke to get capped, and besides, which of these 4 adorable trinkets r the hunters gonna get? (not that i care about hunters though, lawl /phail byebye reroll titheads ;D)

Keep in mind that once it is capped it will continualy refresh up to its 350 ap for the rest of the fight as long as a hit is landed on target, whereas the Nexus trinket only happens for 20 secs every 2 mins. Now which one is better?
