Blizz has to change things up on me right when I was about to make a purchase! Thank god for maintankadin and my favorite pally bloggers. I was so hoping you'd comment on these changes. I got cloak and trinket first as two very obvious, huge upgrades for me, but I am having some difficulty deciding what to get next. I'm glad to read that the tier gear still isn't really a great option (well, caveat, things obviously depend on the rest of one's gear & what one is tanking). I have shied away from spending emblems on it for several reasons. One of them is that I do not plan to get a tier token anytime soon. Tokens are a rare commodity for my guild, as we are only downing saurfang, and I'd frankly rather see them go to dps since I have so many other nice EH/balanced set options. I was wondering if the tier chest post-changes was worth it, but I think Cataclysmic will be my next purchase. Thanks :) Like I didn’t have enough of a hard time making a decision.

I personally got the tier helm/shoulders because they were direct survival upgrades over my previous items in those slots (which had block value). The 2pc didn't really factor into my decision. I'm probably going after the offset chest/gloves now and after that I'll grab the other tier pieces so I'll have 4pc for an avoidance-heavy fight.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Anyway, does this mean tankadins should get the helm and shoulders instead, or is the 2-piece bonus even worth pursuing? 20% bonus damage to Hammer of the Righteous sounds pretty sweet, but people keep knocking all the individual tier pieces.
