For Warriors, Wryxian offers some insight into the new tanking philosophy. He says that the new high end gear will be designed to add a significant amount of AP to Protection Warriors in order to boost DPS and threat. Between that, and new and revamped abilities and talents, tanking should be a different experience in Northrend for all classes.

Last time we met to talk about Jewelcrafting in Wrath, I only knew the names of the various uncommon and rare gems. Now I have the names of the epic gems too, as well as values for the cuts. The epics are called:

• Red: Cardinal Ruby
• Yellow: King's Amber
• Blue: Majestic Zircon
• Purple: Dreadstone
• Orange: Flawless Ametrine
• Green: Eye of Zul

As far as the cuts go, it looks like uncommon Wrath gems are a step up from epic BC gems, which surprises me a bit %26ndash; I was expecting them to be on par. I guess just about everything in Northrend is better than everything in Outland, which shouldn't be too surprising. The numbers go as follows (for basic stat gems like +strength; other gems scale similarly):

• BC:
  • Uncommon: +6 (Bold Blood Garnet)
  • Rare: +8 (Bold Living Ruby)
  • Epic: +10 (Bold Crimson Spinel)
• Wrath
  • Uncommon: +12 (Bold Bloodstone)
  • Rare: +16 (Bold Scarlet Ruby)
  • Epic: +20 (Bold Cardinal Ruby)

Pretty straightforward, I guess. The jumps between quality levels are twice as big in Wrath as in BC, which makes some sense due to stat inflation. It also addresses concerns that BC's epic gems are too expensive for too little added benefit.
