-A '''gear check''', sometimes called a cockblock, is a bottleneck in progression that test players' ability to properly equip themselves.  For example, the first boss of a zone might do such high damage, that a certain level of [[stamina]] and [[healing]] gear might be required.  Other gatekeeper bosses might have timers that require sufficient levels of [[DPS]] gear to overcome.

-From the game design point-of-view, gear checks signal an expectation that players will have progressed through A and B, improving their gear, before being given the chance to progress through C.
+==History==
-For example, in [[Blackwing Lair]], the second boss [[Vaelastrasz the Corrupt]] hit very hard and gave you only three minutes to kill him. Because of this, a successful raid had to have enough [[DPS]] to kill him within that time, while the tanks had to be geared enough to take the beating he dished out, and the healers had to be able to lay out enough healing to keep the raid up and going. Essentially, the fight demanded that any raid to get past it had done its time in [[Molten Core]] and geared up enough for the next tier dungeon.
-Other bosses considered gear checks include [[Thekal]] from [[Zul'Gurub]], [[Patchwerk]] from [[Naxxramas]], and [[Attumen the Huntsman]] in [[Karazhan]].
+Before the {{cata-inline}}, '''Shaldyn''' was a level 15 [[cloth]] [[armor]] [[vendor]] located in [[Auberdine]] in the [[night elven]] zone of [[Darkshore]].
