these are GREAT leggings for this level. i've seen some warriors even wear it until the upper 40's. best leggings at this level imo. i think theres on boe item with like 1-2 more str though.

I recommend this for Shamans, Paladins and Warriors since Plate Gear is quite rare when you just ding 40. It will be used through several levels as you advance, and it's some of the best gear as you level in Tanaris until the point when you can upgrade to Golem Shard Leggings (if you're a warrior or defense obsessed Pally). If you're a Shammy then these will work for you unless you manage to see some green legs with a lucky stat modifier on them.

part of the best lvl 39 twink armor for a warrior, as these stats are huge for the lvl and the armor is excellent, even outdoing a decent bit of chest armor.

if u plan on twinking or just lvling these are a must.

Comment by Nicklaus32780

Ok heres a couple things to not get this stolen...

1.Make sure if your the leader(which i wasnt) put on master looter so u can get the leggings.

2.If your not the group leader start convincing that you will get them something good after and take it and maybe get them something

3.Get high enough lvl so u can solo arms(or cath) and keep on killed herod(or Mograine) and get those leggings

Or...

4.Forget about them and get some more of the set like the boots or chest or bracers or boots(they are common ones)

Parts of this set make very good PVP gear for warriors. The leggings (20 str) are excellent knowing I will be spending lvls 38 and 39 entirely in BGs. I also recommend gauntlets of divinity with +32 attack power (equivelent 16 str), and raging berzerkers helm.

Comment by Thottbot

the set is prity nice though. i already have the scarlet gloves and belt

Comment by Thottbot

I have a 56 Shaman on Stormscale and used many peices of this set for quite some time so I understand how nice it is for a class that can use it for awhile. On the flip-side I have a 38 Warrior on Tichondrius and have the full set. Complain all you want but I think anyone who can use it and benefit from it (better than what they have already) should roll on it. Not all of us have money to burn in the AH on plate or better gear at 40...it takes time to acquire such items. Thus, even as a Warrior I will be using this set for awhile. The only thing that really pisses me off is someone who rolls need and doesn't actually use it...now that's a waste.

Comment by Thottbot

These leggings are horrible for a hunter...Go get some leather ones with agility on them until your 40, then go get some mail leggings with AGILITY and STAMINA...STR is wasted on Hunters! You are an idiot for rolling need unless the warrior/paladin already had them. That's the point...they will be able to use plate in ONE level...What if said warrior is planning to stay at 30-39 for a month for WSG? If a hunter rolled on these over my warrior...I'd rage and rage and rage till said hunter killed himself, which I hope you do.

Comment by Thottbot

which has better chance of having? commander or herod? im going nutz trying to get pants and helm to complete the look, does commander have better drop rate? i never saw these drop from herod... anyone know?

btw im 37 warrior

Comment by Thottbot

I have a tauren Warrior and I'm just starting to run SM Armory runs, I also have a hunter I've leveled to 60. My advice:

Go for the leggings and the belt - the other parts of the set IMO aren't that great. Like someone said earlier if you get green iron chestpiece then its probably better but i like the scarlet one so I'm aiming for it as well.

As for Herod's shoulder and the Raging Berseker's Helm, these are must haves for any warrior and you'll be using them well into the 40s.

Hunters the only part of this you should be allowed to roll on is the boots and the raging berserkers helm, everything else is pointless. Boots are ok but tbh you will find better on the AH. The Helm gives you a crit chance which we otherwise have a hard time getting, I used it till i was 50 on my hunter when I swapped it out for an item with more stamina and some agility.

Who cares if a hunter past 40 is good in melee - other classes are better. To the absolute muppet who said that survivalist was all about melee its about maintaining distance between other classes so you can kill them with your Ranged weapon.

Comment by Thottbot

Im a 37 warrior and got out rolled bby a 36 hunter today... wtf

Comment by Thottbot

What kind of noob hunter stacks strength?

Comment by Thottbot

Hunters who think they need STR as an attribute need dragging out and hanging. Just because it's mail does not mean you have priority. Warriors, Paladins, and Shamans should all get preference on these over hunters. Why am I bothering even writing this when %^&*!@#s will roll need on them anyway...

Comment by Thottbot

Just because Warriors and Paladins are able to wear plate at 40 doesn't mean these pieces aren't good for them.
Oh noes! in three levels you'll be able to wear something with more armor!
That's the only difference between the armor types. Amount of armor.
If you have warriors or paladins in your group, under level 40, they have as much of a right to it as you do. I don't give a !@#$ who's going to use it longer.
Besides, the pieces with STR are nice for DPS warriors/paladins, regardless of level. If you're merely DPSing, you don't need Armor unless your tank sucks.

Point is, stop !@#$%ing if someone who can use it beats your roll.
It's one thing to say "What the !@#$ did that mage roll on them for?" and another to say "OMFG I CANT BELIEVE YOU %^&*!@#S WHO CAN WEAR PLATE IN 3 LEVELS GOT A PIECE THAT YOU CAN USE NOW. $%^& YOU!"
Remember people, we're not level 10 anymore. 3 levels isn't done in an hour.

Comment by Thottbot

Well this is coming from a 60 warrior

just to let you know, i ditched all mail for plate at 40 blablabla, but man do i regret it!

past 40 i got into lots of groups as a dps (got 2 instant attacks now, s'all good) and there are 2 mail items i would have worn for dps instead of certain plate items until higher lvls

like say these leggings.

nowadays, i wouldnt replace these for DPS until the Elemental Rockridge plate legs from the princess in Maraudon.

thats like, 10 lvls total of wearing these
REMEMBER-> this is referring to DPS only, for tanking plate is a MUST

why would i wear these for dps? sureley there is better plate before those leggins for it?

NO

20 str = 40 AP, and 10 sta = ok amount of hp (100, 105 if tauren ;) )

and armor doesnt matter if your tank is doing his/her job (yes DPS warriors do exist, what happens if there's 2 warriors in a group? only need one tank in 5-mans)

just like warriors wearing Crown of Destruction from MC, its great for warriors, but for some reason, people complain about these but not about that?

think before posting please.

and raging zerker helm should go to hunters/shamans, warriors get Ornate Mithril Helm at 44, far better for dps

Comment by Thottbot

I have a 60 hunter and I have to tell you there is no way I would have these on when I hit 40. There are two things that are important to a good hunter... Agility and Intelligence. This set would seriously weaken a good hunters crit chances and greatly lower his DPS. Hunters, dont worry so much about your armor rating; worry about the stats that matter.

Comment by Thottbot

38 Pally, specced 16/0/13. Lost these pants to a 47 Hunter tonight. Wow.. -_-

Comment by Thottbot

ive killed herod only three times but each time he has dropped these pants and I got every time by greed roll.:P So herod is probably the most likely to drop em but I cant be sure.

Comment by Thottbot

i got a good way of not losing your item when a ninja needs for no reason right you ready ok
If there is someone left to roll need or greed when the ninja has already needed for no reason, tell the person not to roll that way you got more time to do stuff kick the ninja from the group wait 1 min for him to be teleported to hes heartstone's home then roll, this way he doesnt get the item and whoever in the group rolled need will get it sounds crap but ive done it before and it works, bye for now anyway:D

Comment by Allakhazam

Got this off herod.I wanted herods shoulder more but hey this is pretty good

Comment by Allakhazam

set.. bought the greenys on AH for almost nothing.. boots bought for 10g.. leggings 1st run on herod.. helm 2nd run..shoulders 3rd run.. wepaon 4th run..then switched for cath.. shield+ amu 1st... mace 2nd..STIL .. after like 30 runs NO chest.. its insane low drop rate on that .. /cry

Comment by Allakhazam

You would think that the scarlet set would be more for a pally than a warrior due to the fact that most of the melee ppl in the instance have mana bars and use Pally like abilities, but thats what it looks like its for...

Comment by Allakhazam

Got these last night(39war)had a nice run thru SM cath. with 2priest 2war 1hunter all lv37-40 the other war38 already had this leg pc so i rolled against hunter and won. These are nice and go well with the shoulders, belt, helm, gloves I will prolly wear the carapace plate body at 40 instead of the scarlet. I am dual weild so no axe from Herod altho it looks pretty cool. swd of omen + vanquisher (^-^) both +2dmg enchant work nice with all dual weild talents, also got a shld from morgaine which is nice for tanking. GL have fun

Comment by Allakhazam

I believe *could be wrong, so no flames please* that the hunter formula for attack power is this: (strength + agility) + (character lvl x2) - 20. This is a melee attack power formula posted on Wowwiki. I've had several different hunters test it and they agree that it's accurate. However, the RAP formula does not seem to be updated for BC. (Character lvl + agility) - 20 did not add up to what their ranged attack power was. Yes, we made sure to subtract any AP bonus they were getting from gear. But, if the formula mechanics are still the same, then strength plays no part in ranged attack power for hunters. Only melee.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes there are pieces of mail in SM that have fights over them that hutns shouldn't while they should but this is a case of where the hHunts do not need it. for a hunt this gives only 10 Stam. the str. is worthless so if you are lvl 40 and 10 stam. legs are the best yu can get just reroll. (get triprunners from gnomer, 17 agi. lvl 25 quest, 6 stam)

Comment by Allakhazam

These leggings are one of a kind. I'm a level 45 Paladin and I'm still using them. If your a Warrior or a Paladin, I'd definately say go for it. At my level there aren't any leggings, even plate leggings with better stats than these. I'm probably going to be using these until my late 40's. Once you hit 49 though, I'd recommend going after the Elemental Rockridge Leggings, which drop off the Pricess boss in Maraudon. I looked them up on this website and was completely amazed by the stats. They have a lower drop rate than most of the other items the Princess drops, but they are definately worth pursuing. Anyways, the Scarlet Leggings are awsome.

Go fetch them!

Comment by Allakhazam

still trying to get this, the boots, and the chestpiece for my warrior....this stuff sells for so much on AH so its almost impossible to get unless your try to farm it.

Comment by Allakhazam

i was farming SM arms for the tabard (60 druid at the time) and herod dropped legs, and the boots, i DEd the legs and sent the boots to my shammy... and like an hour later i find the chestpiece in cath...AND a shiny fiery war axe...that was like my lucky day :)

Comment by Allakhazam

The leggings definately drop more during Cathedral runs.

Comment by Allakhazam

Could someone tell me where do i go to start this quest i purchased all itmes through AH but leggings.
But i wouldn't mind the helm and shoulder pads also.

Comment by Allakhazam

I ran through and got belts, bracers, and gauntlets, from random people, shoulder off of herod, got chest from those weird people, and then leggings of mograine all in one run, check me out name : Trath server: Lightning hoove.

Comment by Allakhazam

I have what is now a lvl 48 hunter and have owned many 48+ hunters while wearing this gear. Granted I know that there is a complete lack of agility on the scarlet gear. with the exception of the boots and gloves... but thats not enough to help. But the stamina bonus out of the scarlet set is killer and i had almost as much health as a warrior just a few lvls lower than me. I will have to say for pvp purposes health wins over a slight bonus to damage/ crit. I may be wrong but thats what I have seen. Also with the fact that i have 180 stam instead of the 45 that i have w/o gear I would have to say that the scarlet set has saved my life more times than I can count. When I hit 60 and am in my PVP epic armor I will always have this beautiful set in my bank for when i feel like running around SW lookin Hella sick.

Comment by Allakhazam

Went thru armory 15 times and only got Herods shoulder and when i went into the cathedral for the first time i got the leggings off mograine

Comment by Allakhazam

Wow the drop rate on this sucks

18 Armory runs, 6 Cath runs, seen this 0 times... I'm getting sick of seeing that stupid helm and sheild drop.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just saw them drop. Friggin lvl 40 warrior rolled need to beat me for them. I say that's BS. Junnaku is a straight newb.

Comment by Allakhazam

Got these off herod was very happy when it dropped

Comment by Allakhazam

This is yet another case of.....whing and hunter ninjaing! :D Ahem.....only good for warriors , paladains(yes i actually said it) or enh shammies and ONLY enh shammies....why is that so hard to understand? Dont maek me throw my flimsy totems at your hunters phat loot!

Comment by Allakhazam

ok peeps, incase none of u have ever played hunter 1 STRENGTH translates into 2 ATTAK POWER, (not melee only) so these are great legs for hunter. and imo a warrior would/should be getting plate legs 2 lvls after being able to use these, SOO these are more useful for a hunter 40+, i had them (off a greed roll >_<) and they were great for dps, hense the +20 str/40 AP eather way u look at it these are great legs for any mail wearing class.

BUT, any hunter shouldn't need roll on these unless the group is okay with it and the tank has them or better ones
