A little love to Leatherworkers ...of the... annoyed

Note: this list was made before any possible changes to talents in patch 4.1. I dont think there were any relavent ones but I just wanted to throw that out there so everyone knew.




So sitting there leveling leatherworking through the early cataclysm levels and I wonder... what is all that of the gear
and which ones give which benefits. Mainly so I know what I can use and what is just vendor/de fodder. The dual stats increase the same stats they always have, the triple stats were released in bc or wrath and the quadruple stats are the ones that are new to cataclysm. Spirit is for heals, unless you are a shadow priest with Twisted Faith, a druid with Balance
of Power or a shaman with Elemental Precision if you are either of those three,  roll cause as a healer, I want you to be able to effectively kill things. And shaman, I feel for you, you have to spend three points on something everyone else only needs to spend two on. /tear. Dodge and parry are tanking stats. Dont roll on something with dodge or parry unless you are tanking, more specifically, don't roll on parry if you are a bear druid. I would be more lenient with the stat allocation if you are replacing something from, say... two expansions ago.

There are more than the listed “… of the …” gear choices, these are the only ones that are made from the “+random enchant” gear you make while leveling the curse that is leatherworking in cata content according to the webpage I got the list from. Also according to the same webpage, there may be ones that are incorrect, specifically, the site mentioned invoker having only two stats but the item suffix page on wowwiki has it originally having three. This may be due to the changes after cata hit that removed spell power from gear since invoker seemed to have spell power on it before.


Note 2: there is a lot of extra space in that table and *blushes* sorry about the yellow. I need to take it back into open office to change either of those problems and I have stayed up way too late as it is.
