trouble??Follow

T5. ;-)

(my brother and i can up with this replacement gear for all the mage that are stuck between t5 limbo land ???hope this will help )

best i could do for ya bro.

spellfire + spellstrike sets


Totals form 5 pieces of gear

stamina: 28
Intellect: 65
hit rating: 38
crit rating:119
damage: 264 ( 172 of that fire and arcane only)
blue sockets: 5
yellow sockets: 5
red sockets: 2

all 5 socket bonuses combined: 24 stamina

my brother is trying to replace these items as they are great on damage, but he is curious if there is an upgrade or similar stats to this outside of T5. I put this together for em especially since his guild kills void reaver all the time, and lurker was first boss farmed in SSC.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28594 best i could do.

Totals from 5 items

stamina: 153
intellect: 140
hit rating: 40
crit rating: 85
damage: 242
blue sockets : 2
red sockets: 2
yellow sockets: 9

combined socket bonuses: 10 stamina, 14 damage


so this set gives you ( assuming all socket bonuses are used)

+ 111 stamina
+75 intellect ( using wowwiki forumla is equal to about 20 crit rating)
+ 2 hit rating
- 34 crit rating ( actually only about 14 crit rating when intellect is factored in)
- 8 damage
+ 1 socket


So basically you trade your spellstrike "lesser spell blasting" buff and the int *.07 spell damage for much more survivability,
1110 more health
1125 more mana

the rest ends up being near the same nothing you should notice to much ( in the crafted set base intellect is probably around 500 which is 35 spell damage) thats the biggest loss, but you cant damage if you cant hit, or if your eating dirt.

ya we have VR on farm status and ill proably be the second in line to get it a SP has more dkp than i do LOL. but anyway thanks for the responses i was wondering what mages were getting in T5 limbo land.


nice i lost the roll on that belt last week LOL

I like the suggestions, I personally made the belt of blasting, but the cord of terrors isn't too bad, and I also have Solarion's pants (the fight is not too difficult, it may take a night of practice to get, but once you do it is pretty much cake). She also drops pretty much the best wand in the game.

for both fights, if you have solarionalarm and voidreaveralarm it makes the fights incredibly easy.
