Badges of Conquest

Concerning the patch 3.1, there has been some discussion about a new badge- Badges of Conquest and there rewards. But what are Badges of Conquest? Let's get down to its basics.
Badges of Conquest also named "Ulduar Badges" are badges that drop off of bosses in Heroic Ulduar. These badges are the result of Blizzard's new tiered system of badges. Now, unlike BC, the gear you get with badges scales with the content that you participate in.
With new patch comes new loot for all classes, this patch is no different. Hunters have some fine pickings with badges in 3.1.
Leggings of the Tireless Sentry - at 32 badges a pop
Belt of the Ardent Marksman – weighing in at 23 badges
Gloves of Unerring Aim - matching size with the belt, also 23 new badges
To be honest, Hunters are Leggings of Failed Escape which are the current best-in-slot legs for us. They are quite comparable and both are about even when gemmed up and enchanted. Tough decision,wow gold, but you could probably save your badges for later down the road.
Torn Web Wrapping is a nice piece but these badge items and most best in slot items are 213 level but all these pieces will be comparable. It really just comes down to what you like. The new belt focuses on more haste,wow power leveling, which is needed by many Hunters, and Torn Web Wrapping focuses on Critical Rating. It's really up to you here.
For Hunters, glove of calculated risk are the best gloves at this time. They are strikingly worse than the badge gloves shown above but once again you're trading Crit for Haste. If you're Survival, you're probably already high on Crit, so these new gloves wouldn't be a bad idea.
Fool's Trial is best-in-slot for Hunters in 3.0 according to Shandara's spreadsheet, and tested by Lassirra herself. I'd say our new badge item is a bit worse. I have never been a big fan of Armor Penetration and I like the Hit and attack power that's found on Fool's Trial.
So what should you be getting come patch time?
Get the Gloves of Unerring Aim for 23 badges
If you feel like it, get Belt of the Ardent Marksman to get rid of your old Naxx belt.
Pass over the legs and neck upgrades,wow power leveling, because they're barely comparable to what you probably already have. What about the other badges in Wrath of the Lich King.
Everyone is wondering what will happen to their precious badges earned when the patch hits. Some worried that their badges will become useless. But do not worry, you will use these badges and probably still earn them.
Your 5 man heroics will render Emblems of Heroism
10 man pre 3.1 will still drop Emblems of Heroism
25 man pre 3.1 will drop Emblems of Valor
10-man Ulduar will drop Emblems of Valor
With still getting the older badges, you can buy your alts heirloom items, yourself PvP gear and off-set gear. This allows for characters just hitting 80 and opportunity to get geared up for.
Blizzard has put some innovation into this new tiered badge system. Less badge gear than you might feel used to, but keep in mind all of the drops that will be coming in Ulduar 10 and 25 and most of these items are all level 213 so points are redistributed in different manners.
