Who is this "Fallen Hero" I've heard so much about?

I was very embarrased after my "sleep" incident that I made sure I was ready for Karazhan tonight. We headed straight for The Curator and were able to down him in one shot. After the loot was picked up a random mathematic equation popped into my head:

Coffee + Redbull + WoW = Gloves of the Fallen Hero?



Obviously this complex formula worked because I obtained the mutch coveted piece of loot. Here is where I suggest everyone do their homework before bidding on items. View the Demon Stalker Gauntlets that you get when you trade this in:



No sockets??? What do you mean no sockets? I had no idea it didn't have any sockets until after I turned it in. In my opinion this isn't much of an upgrade for a Survival spec. My Beast Lord Handguards provide me with 25 Agi, compared to 28, but socketed with two +8 Agi gems, it jumps to 41 Agi. Plus combining the BLH with the Cuirass I'm able to take advantage of the two piece bonus making my traps quite good.

I sort of felt bad that I took these from one of our Mages (Sorry Jer). Just like the Belt of the Tracker, in my bank they go.

On the plus side, we moved from the Curator to the Shade of Aran, which we downed after the third try and then did the Chess Event too!

Aran dropped a very nice cloak, the Drape of the Dark Reavers, which I wish I had gotten instead of the DSG, but hindsight is 20/20. If Aran ever drops the DotDR again, I'm going to be all over it.



Agi, Sta, Hit and AP, a Survival Hunter's dream cloak. /sigh
