Hey folks,

I've got 50 something BOJ burning a hole in my back pocket and I'm looking for some advice on which badge reward to get next, i'm trying to choose between:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29270[/link] Flametongue Seal
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33334[/link] Fetish of the Primal Gods
or
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29370[/link] Icon of the Silver Crescent

The Armory is down for me at the moment but I'm Madasafish on Nagrand EU
Arcane/Fire (21/40)
800+ +dmg (unbuffed)
122 Spellhit (working on that)
17% Crit (could be higher i know)

Current off hand is Crystal Orb of Enlightenment
Current Trinkets are Scryer's Blood Gem and Xi'ri's Gift.

Personally I'm leaning towards the Fetish trinket but would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks for any input - Mada.

for the damage affect i would deffinitly take the flametongue seal if u wanna play fire in raids. and u need the scryer's bloodgem to stay/get to the hitcap.
so if u swap out xiri's u will miss a ton of crit-rating where flametongue kicks in again.

btw. could u post your spec: im curious how u used those 40 points in fire.
cause with only 40 in fire u cant take all the important damage-abilities that fire offers for raiding.

if u are on the pvp-side and want presence for that instant pyro, i would take the fetish of the primal gods because of the stam/int it provides.

Hi Druidserg - Thanks for the comments and questions.

I agree about the Flametongue Seal but I went with the Fetish off-hand because although the +dmg on the Seal is sweet indeed, I'm still a fair way off being hit capped (even further without EP from Frost) so I took the overall package for the additional stats as well - the fact that it has (my first) bit of Haste rating didn't hurt either :)

I'd love to be able to post my spec but the European side of the Armory (can get to the US .. go figure) is playing up and I can't get into it - if you can, look up Madasafish on the Nagrand server.

My build comes straight out of the bible or GMPE as it's better known.
21 Arcane - PvE Talents or "Even the carebears likes dem some PoM."

Arcane Subtlety - 2/2
Arcane Focus - 3/5
Magic Absorbtion - 2/5
Arcane Concentration - 5/5
Arcane Impact - 3/3
Improved Counterspell - 2/2
Arcane Meditation - 3/3
Presence of Mind - 1/1

40 Fire - Deep fire or "Did somebody call the exterminator?"

Improved Fireball - 5/5
Ignite - 5/5
Flame Throwing - 2/2
Incineration - 2/2
Pyroblast - 1/1
Burning Soul - 2/2
Master of Elements - 3/3
Playing with Fire - 3/3
Critical Mass - 3/3
Fire Power - 5/5
Pyromaniac - 3/3
Combustion - 1/1
Empowered Fireball - 5/5

Even deeper fire for PvE, more crits and increased damage. Very solid build, another nice group spec when dealing with something smaller than 25 players in regards to groups.

This appealed to me greatly because I didn't have the +dmg to make proper use of the deeper fire tree raid specs of 10/48/3 or 2/48/11. Also liked the additional mana regen aspects of going that far into Arcane.
Being able to throw out a few POM-PYRO's while doing the daily capture the flags in HFP was a fantastic way of lighting up someone elses day ... for a sec or 2 before they crumpled anyway :))

I'm not into Raiding yet - currently working my way through Kara and loving it.

If you think I have something glaringly wrong or there is a better way of going now - please, let me know.

Cheers - Mada.

i would take "Improved Scorch" over "Playing With Fire".
On trash mobs u use only fireball, but the 3% damage wont be missed.
But on bossfights, if u stack the scorch debuff 5 times, u can do a lot more damage than with "Playing With Fire".
Other than that, i like your built and thoughts behind it^^

btw: just my opinion ;-D

lol - you're right of course and I did indeed take the Improved Scorch talent - the spec above is a direct copy/paste from the GMPE and not from my build.

Cheers again - Mada.
