This is a follow-up to one of my previous entries about World of Warcraft Armory Data. In this entry I will focus on the newly added Item pages which add a wealth of information about the items in game with the ability to even search for upgrades.

Been having fun soloing the first two bosses in Ramparts and the first boss in Blood Furnace. Being a protection paladin does have some advantages. The only other classes I have seen to solo parts of Ramparts are feral druids and hunters. I have seen feral druids and warlocks solo up to the first boss in Blood Furnace. With tons of armor, defense and stamina it is pretty easy to seal/judge light and outlast. Going to try the final boss in Ramparts this weekend. Of course screen shots or it didn't happen: Ramparts: Boss 1 Boss 2 Blood Furnace: Boss 1 Nerf Pallies!

The World of Warcraft Armory site has been updated this week with several cool enhancements. My favorite is the ability to look for upgrades to existing equipment. Simply hover over an equipment slot and a little arrow will show up and when you hover over the arrow a box will expand with a link to search for upgrades. The page you get lists all the equipment that would be an upgrade for that particular item. Playing a paladin, I did notice a mix of gear but the majority and highest ranking gear was based on my talent choices which is pretty cool. The listing also shows where you can get the gear which makes it a lot easier to plan ahead. The other addition that is noteworthy is the ability to compare profiles. Clicking on the push pin in the "Profile Selected" box in the upper right hand corner will store the currently selected player's profile. When you go to another profile and hover of their gear, you will see their gear plus the selected profiles gear. I will detail out these new pages in an upcoming entry in my blog along with some of the PVP pages so stay tuned.
