Dam i want that for my new rogue but can tell its gonna be an absolute bitch to get. most of the droprates are rounded down to 0%, and after spending weeks getting my faction up with the argent dawn theres no way im touchin that bastard with the 8%

You do not understand how drop percentages work.  Just because thottbot lists the drop rate for this cloak as being 8%  (actually its listed at 2% now) does not mean he has an 8% chance to drop it.  What it means is, 44 people have killed caretaker alen and he happened to drop it ONCE.  With only 44 kills, the drop rate is severely inflated and inaccurate due to the one drop.  Bind on Equip blues are almost all random world drops, meaning that any mob in that level range can drop it at any time in any place and there is no way to increase your chances of getting one by killing certain mobs.  If you want the item go buy it off the auction hall, its the only way you're going to get it.

This is a random world drop just like many other boe blues. Stop posting where you got it because it does not matter.

i told him to send it to me for 7g he was like WOW THX. he said he needed the money for his lvl 40 mount



.... and he was a lock :P

Just bought this for 89g BO without a second thought.

Agility is a secondary attribute for melee twinking.  When you buy this, you're paying for the Stamina.  Agility just makes a good twink even better, enchanting it in places you can't put stam (cloak, weapons, gloves).

That's why you see lvl 29s with 10:1 kd ratios or better.  Because they have 2800 health, not because they have someodd spell damage.  Average health for a well-geared 29 pvper that knows what they're doing is 1400-1600, by the way.

The superb twinks are rare, and you know them when you see them because your team loses and they top the chart with twice as many kills as the person in 2nd place.

In battlegrounds, you don't want a glass cannon, you want a diamond-plated boulder that slowly rolls over the entire opposing team.  In these low level battlegrounds, you're basically just rolling dice against eachother.  Whoever has more health has more dice.

Done with the weird analogies.  If 29 was 70, this cloak would be epic... end of story.

Not true, Damage Done most likely just proves who's the most un-tactic bg'er, who doesn't give a shit bout' anything else than being on top of a stupid list which doesn't mean anything. Blizzard should, IMO, add some kind of "score" that calculates; KB's, DMG-Done, Healing-Done, Flag-Returns, Flag-Caps (depending on the BG ofc.), etc, etc, into one "total score".

Until that, neither KB's or DMG-Done is any good way or proving who's good and who's not.

Damage done does not always tell you who the best twink is.  I have a druid (who wants this by the way, everyone seems to forget about feral druid twinks).  My druid is pretty well geared, all I need is my belt from AB, this cloak and a head enchant.  I could easily farm kills and only go where the horde are that I can kill and top the damage chart.  However, if you are actually trying to win the BG, you may not even  be fighting 50% of the time, especially as a druid that can carry the flag better than any other class in WSG, and can ninja undefended nodes in AB.  That's.  My point is, do arena skirmishes if you want to see who has the best gear and skill, battlegrounds have too many factors.
