Battleworn Tuskguard

Did the Stats on Battleworn Tusk get changed on ptr? I heard from someone that the 40 block rating has become 40 def rating instead.

That's affirmative. Just logged on PTR, and it's definitely 40 defense rating.

So ehum, it's going to lose a lot of uncrushabilty but gain way more pure avoidance.

Wow, how would you guys compare it to the Hard Khorium Goggles http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35196 for tanking bosses then?

HKG are still way better, but if this goes live my tuskguard is definitely going to be replacing my T4 helm in my boss mitigation set. Nice change imo

Yeah until I actually get the T 2.0 Eng goggle schematic to drop I'm going to feel like a chump running around with the 1.0 goggles since I just leveled Eng this week strictly to replace the crappy BR in the Tuskguard. Ah well, hope the schematic drops quick

Still I wish they'd replace the +hit with expertise on the Eng googles though...

I assume they change block rating to defense? Not block value?
If it's from block rating then it's a nice change. From block value? it's gonna be quite a nerf.

I noticed this change is no longer documented on "Changed Items" or on the test realm at thottbot.

Did they decide keep them they way it is?
