So we're doing the 2nd half of Kara last night, we kill Shade and what drops but Rapscallion Boots.
Our feral druid main tank says he doesn't want them for a DPS set and the fury warrior already has better, so they basically default to me. I was, needless to say, excited. Yet another blue replaced with an epic.
This is about the point when I equip them and almost vomit.
I gain a whopping 11 AP, while losing 33 hit rating and a negligible .01% to crit over my Fel Leather Boots socketed with an 8 hit gem and a 16 AP gem (yeah I know it sould be 8 agi but I had really low AP when I socketed them).
I was stunned. These level 69 blue crafted boots were better for DPS than a Kara epic drop. I realize that Edgewalker Longboots are the true upgrade for my Fel Leather, but I thought for sure Rapscallion would be at least a small upgrade.
