In case you ever thought the above, try doing something like the following vid and then compare level of difficulty:

Better than any halftime show ever aired, IMO.

Considering that info, I'd still get the gear asap since the price reduction in 5.2 will only speed up finshing the complete valor gearing...............and more than likely there will be better stuff to buy when the update comes rolling in. I can't confirm that last part, but with Blizz.............no good deed goes unpunished.

As of 5.2 all 5.0 valor gear will cost 50% less and all 5.1 gear (including Domination Point) will cost 25% less, so depending on whether or not you're close to the cap (and are spending points on ilevel upgrades as per my other post) you might want to hold off buying these until 5.2 comes out. 

Admittedly I have no idea when that'll be since it's only been on the PTR since the start of the month, but I can't imagine it taking more than another month to be released if Blizz is still holding to their "quicker updates" scheme.

For those how have not seen the valor point vendor at Domination Point, here's the skinny:

Slot:                         Dominance Offensive rep:
Feet                          Revered needed.
Belt                           Revered needed.
Ring (1) unique          Honored needed.
Trinket (1) unique      Revered needed.

These are sold for the same amount of valor points as the ilvl 489 items on other quartermasters.

Tuskripper Grunka is the name of the quartermaster.

As one of the readers - Thanks for the heads up.

As an update, it seems they'll be removed in 5.2 but then probably reinstated in 5.3 (when there is no new raid content).  They might stick with this pattern depending on the results and feedback.

So something for the both of you who actually read these forums to consider.

Just in case anyone's been saving up Valor/Justice Points to upgrade their gear (meaning through the item upgrade system where you spend points to raise the ilevel of a piece of equipment slightly), you should do it ASAP because in 5.2 the NPC who upgrades your gear will be removed while Blizz continue to evaluate the impact this feature has had on the game.  Apparently they've received too much negative feedback about this feature (or have seen too many disturbing number crunches in their own data, who knows?), so they're putting a hold on it with the next patch and are undecided about when it will be returning, if at all.

What this means for the players is that anyone who has already upgraded their gear will keep those upgrades, but nobody will be able to upgrade further once 5.2 comes out, so I would recommend spending Valor points on ilevel upgrades now instead of buying new pieces of gear since you can do the latter after 5.2 but not the former.

Just a quick heads up for anyone who's been using the feature.  I know many of you are still working on getting pieces worth upgrading.

Geez, I'm late but Happy belated Birthday anyway to both of you!

Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a special day (maybe knock Ulti down the stairs - no wait it's his birthday Friday so maybe not).

Anyway, have a great day!

Happy Birthday Kelly!!!
