This week on Outland with Curs (23/10/11)

The Cursed got to level 16 on Thursday. We've obtained the cash flow guild perk now. Some more gold in the bank weekly. Might buy some additional tabs soon.

We also got Critter Kill Squad, killing 50 critters

Critter Kill Squad

I got the Creepy Crate on my death knight, it has some cool animations.

Creepy Crate

I leveled my rogue and my warrior a bit during the AV weekend. About a level each, although it was a lot harder on my rogue because we kept losing... Horde sucks at AV in the 80 - 84 bracket.


Thursday I had the chance to raid Firelands again with my Death Knight and the helm of Alysrazor dropped.
Wearing the earlier in week obtained  The Horseman's Horrific Helmet, I noticed that my item level 365 had more strength than Greathelm of the Voracious Maw (ilvl 378).

Someone made an intresting note on wowhead though:

Cata itemization has been incredibly linear(/bland) so it's a big surprise to see something like this come along. I wonder if it's a bug or if it's going live like this.
Reference.
i353: 263 in primary stat (usually Strength for plate, sometimes a tanking stat)i359: 281 in primary stati365: 301 in primary stati371: 322 in primary stati372: 325 in primary stati378: 348 in primary stat (some variance here; the tank ones have 388, the new 5-mans 346)i384: 371 in primary stati391: 400 in primary stat (tank ones 440)i397: 426 in primary stat (tank ones 466)i403: 454 in primary stat
This helm is a 365 with the Strength budget of a 384, the secondary stats of a mid-350s, and Stamina of a mid-330s. Given how much better Strength is than secondary stats this expansion, this makes it a ridiculously well-itemized piece and very comparable to 378s.
