What about the badges? I'm noticing that ZA does not use a token system. The boss just drops a piece of loot & badges. So "gearing up" from ZA is largely about buying the new badge rewards.

However, I am seeing some hot DPS caster weapons in ZA. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33494, for example. I'm not sure how that compares to what you've got now.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Since the rumors of moonkin gear in ZA weren't true, I ended up comparing the badge gear to the T4 leather caster set. There is significant overlap. Three or four of the items are for same slots, and for the most part, they are sidegrades. The badge rewards have a little more +crit and +dmg, but they have no +spirit at all. If I went with the full badge set, I'd have virtually no + to spirit, and I'd lose all my benefit from having the Intensity talent.

There are only 3 badge rewards that are not for slots covered in the T4 set, I think.

I get all the hot DPS caster weapons. That's awesome. But there are hot DPS caster weapons all over the place already. What there is not is leather caster armor, and there were tons of rumors about it dropping in ZA. I think maybe people read "moonkin armor in the ZA patch" and thought that meant in the instance -- not as badge rewards.

Regardless...now I'm back to my original quandary about whether to roll on cloth, because the moonkin armor situation hasn't really been fixed at all.

Looking at Wow-loot, a lot of the ZA gear they marked as "Druid - Balance" was cloth. So roll on it. Quandry solved!

Yeah, I still suggest you roll on cloth.
