Badge advice, pleaseFollow

#1 Nov 20 2007 at 12:46 PM Rating: Good
So, I've been working on improving my gear, etc. I must admit, I've been negligent when it comes to Badge of Justice rewards. I've managed to save up 29 badges thus far, and now that kara is giving badges, I see more in my future.

I wanted to get your advice on what badge reward to get me the most bang for my buck. At this time, I could purchase either the Flametongue Seal or the Carved Witch Doctor's Stick. I don't think these 2 objects would significantly upgrade me over what I already have compared to the better badge rewards.

However, I think that the Icon of the Silver Crescent would be a nice upgrade at the trinket.

What do you think? Should I get the icon, or wait until I have more badges to get some of the haste armor?

Here is my profile....thanks in advance...Spazicus

and, If any of my guildies are reading this...hey!

instead of getting the flametongue I would get the new offhand that gives 36 spelldmg, stam/int, and spellhaste. I just got it and it is a nice upgrade from the blue I had before. I plan to get Icon next.

Kara is giving 2 badges per boss (except Attumen) so it won't be a problem to get badges.I aggree though on getting the new off hand since it has some more stats on it.The wand imo is much better than The Black Stalk since you can get an epic gem on it (like the +12 dmg from bg).
Leave the trinket for last as you can get Quagmiran's Eye and Xi'Ri's Gift which are prety much the same (I can't check your armory since it's down :/ ).


EDIT:spelling :S it's still morning..

A full clear is 22 badges if I remember right. I think it might be different though depending on who you get for opera. Easiest 22 badges I have ever got.

Got 22 last night, took the guild 2:45 to clear the entire place, was awesome. I believe you should always get two badges from opera, just remember with R&J that you loot both corpses.

I got 22 last night as well. Before all these cool new rewards, the icon was the first upgrade I grabbed on my warlock. It seemed long and hard saving those 41 badges, but I did it, and was very happy. Now on my mage alt, I'm not so sure. Some of the 60 badge rewards are very nice, even the 35 badge spell haste bracers are nice. I'm probably going to skip the spellstrike pants and go for the heroic reward pants.

I'm thinking in order I'll grab

- Pants
- New Cloak (for PVP)
- Gloves
- Bracers
- Trinket
- Spell Haste Off hand

Sadly thats somewhere around 275 badges, so maybe I won't be getting all those lol.

Glad someone else commented on the belt :p. For a combo of raw stats/ spell hit/ spell crit and damage its prob the best I've seen til post kara - I'm considering not bothering with a girdle of ruination because of it. If only it had sockets...

First thing I got was the new off hand, then the wand then the cloak. As a tailor with the spellstrike set I liked the leggings but prefer spellstrike espeically with the +350 tailorng bonus however/ Next thing I'm after is the Silver Crescent trinket. the new trinkets with the hp increase seem too pvp for me to be useful in my game at least

Just got belt of blasting, man it is sweet. I am in the process of getting rid of the spellfire set (got my t5 gloves as well), so if you can hold out for it I would get the bracers, maybe pants, wand (if you can't get it from solarion), and icon. I would actually get the offhand then icon.

I've been playing around with a theorycrafting site someone linked(I'd seen it before but hadn't played with it much because it used to be blocked at work), and the trinkets it lists for you are in this order:

I really hope that's your soloing set, because damn that's a low amount of +hit(enough to make Mag's Eye the best trinket Smiley: eek ).
