Caps & Requirements
Hit/expertise caps shift a lot at this gear level — the creator notes below (and the full mechanics writeup in the Herald & Argent guide) cover the real per-build requirements.
Notes
Alternatives are listed where two items are close enough that raid composition, luck or professions decide between them.
How this list works
Argent Defender ("A Tribute to Dedicated Insanity") requires clearing the full 10-player Trial of the Grand Crusader — Northrend Beasts through Anub'arak — without any raid member wearing an item only obtainable from the 25-player version of the instance, or anything more powerful. So instead of the Phase 4 ceiling, every item here comes from Ulduar, the 10-player Coliseum itself, Naxxramas or crafted sources. Shirt and tabard are deliberately left unequipped on every spec, matching the compendium's own warning that both count toward the restriction.
Every item name links straight to Wowhead's WotLK Classic database with the real gems baked into the tooltip URL, so the tooltip you see on hover is the real, live item — full stats, sockets and all. The line under each item name shows its real enchant; hover the item itself for gems.
Item tooltips and icons above are served live from Wowhead.com — RealNibba doesn't host or create that data, and isn't affiliated with Wowhead. The portrait screenshot changes with your selected class and shows the real Ulduar 25-man tier set for that class, a real community submission from Wowhead's own item set page.
Credits
This gear data is not RealNibba's own theorycrafting — it's sourced from a real, actively-maintained community project, the Grand Selayan Cartel itemization compendium, built for Warmane Icecrown's trading community. See the full Herald & Argent guide for the real ToGC boss notes and complete credits.
