Picking Cider's Brain

[Derenas]

Yeah, for sure it would show that there was some effort put forth obtaining it, but theres also jade-skull breastplate, self-correcting gauntlets, etc for preraid tanking gear, you could probably compile a pretty sweet set of tanking gear from some of the tk instances, or even quest reward items. Jadeskull, self correcting gauntlets, and aegis of the sunbird are all great items and come from tempest keep instances, and sha'tari's vindicator waistguard is an awesome belt that comes from the quest reward for completing the arcatraz key, and im sure obtaining those items would show just as much effort and dedication, as obtaining the bold set would, just make sure you pick up the bold shoulders and a couple of solid stars of elune!
