Just a /sigh.
There are four different
rings
, for
casters
,
healers
,
physical DPS
. They're being upgraded every time a new raid comes out.
But still no tanking ring in sight. Why won't Blizzard finally add a tanking ring to these?

Blizzard has gone on record as saying that because tanking is specifically a PvE-oriented task, they prefer that tanks obtain their upgrades that way.
Yeah, I think it's a crap excuse, too.

I've got the DPS one, too. That's not my point. I just wonder why Blizzard doesn't add a tanking one when all the other roles are covered.

"In content patch 3.3, all standard sources of tank gear will be removed. Tank gear will not be crafted, as tanking is a very specific PvE role, and we cannot keep designing all the professions to suit it - DPS and Healing are a lot more demanding. PvP has never yielded tank gear, and we are quite happy with the way things are here. In dungeons and raids, your group will be composed of no more than 3 tanks, in the worst case - this is just over 10% of your raid composition. Do you want us to focus on those 10%, or the other 90%. That's what we thought too. So tank gear is being removed from PvE content as well. From now on, the only tank gear in the game will be world-drop greens with random enchants (e.g. "of Defense").
We also plan on removing the tanking trees from all classes, except Death Knights, as their talent trees are perfectly able to suit DPS, Tanking, or even self-healing - or all 3 at the same time!
The entire team tanks you for being so patient and putting up with those tanks for all these years. The issue should be fixed shortly."
Yes, I can totally see it...

Sometimes I forget I am too green :P
But, really, the tank tier sets are ridiculous, the bonuses are a joke, and (this may actually smart) the way to obtain tank gear is to...well, tank stuff. You know, because instances are pretty much the only source of gear. Remember that Algalon dude (/*falls in love*/)? Well, there are two quests associated with him - one for
Normal 10-Players
and one for
Heroic 25-Players
. I am a little blind (which I partially compensate with glasses), but I don't see a tanking reward there.
And that's far from being the only example - tanking gear is
scarce
!

ArgentSun, my head almost exploded before I read So tank gear is being removed from PvE content as well.and realized this was a joke.

"The entire team
tanks
you for being so patient..."

Tanking the bosses in AV comes to mind...

That pun dodged my eyes completely.

Filters are your friends
One from 10-Players and one from 25-Players. Surprisingly there aren't any non-tanking BoE rings in Ulduar. Actually, here is the
BoE Breakdown for Ulduar
