Aldor or Scryer?Follow

#1 Aug 17 2008 at 3:36 AM Rating: Decent
I have a 61 BM hunter that is a miner and a engineer. I know that both Aldor and Scryer have certain items and recipes that are specific for each side, which would be the best way for me to go? I really only do PVE so if anything is PVP related it doesn't matter much to me unless it is a engineering item i can make and sell for good gold on the AH

go scyers simply for the nice shoulder enchant if you plan to do any raiding. Otherwise I don't think there really is any difference between the two; course I don't remember seeing any engineering plans though, could be wrong

nah neither one has any engineering schematics, but scryers is the better choice.

Scryers is not the better choice.

Scryers gives critrating, aldor gives AP.
And hunter dps scales better with AP than with critrating.
The SSO necklace is slightly better for aldor too.

Here's another vote for Aldor. :)

Not to mention that on the wiki the stats seem to show around a 3:1 choice of Aldor for hunters.

Fall off? You mean you wait for the elevator? I just do a swan dive to whomever wants to try and catch me.

I say Aldor, if it were only because I won't accept I may have made the wrong choice.

If you're really into min/maxing your gear, then Aldor might be the better choice. The shoulder enchant is arguable. With my gear (Hyjal/BT level), the Scryer enchant is actually a .21 DPS increase over the Aldor enchant... basically, it makes no difference. However, if I was Aldor, and I had their necklace, it would be a .32 DPS increase... Also, meaning that it doesn't make any kind of noticeable difference.

But there are other factors to take into consideration:
Scryer Elevator doesn't kill you (doesn't matter when you get your flying mount)
Scryer Tabbard is much cooler
Scryer Rep is much cheaper and easier to farm with SSO dailies
Scryer Tier is closer to the flight master.

Personally, I'm scryer. I chose it for all the reasons above (except the rep thing. I made exalted before 2.4). I'm not unhappy with my decision. I'm just unhappy with all the people that talk **** on Scryer.

I can totally agree with PM on the grinding issue for SSO's. I'm Aldor and I have a TON of Scryer crap I have to trade for Aldor. Problem is, it doesn't trade 1:1 any more on my server due to the prevalence of Scryer stuff. So, even if I was Scryer, I'd be able to 2:1 trade any Aldor stuff for the equiv scryer... bonus!

Having said that, I like the Aldor stuff. It does work well with the class and now that I have a decent set of shoulders (got off the Crone last night! Yea!) I inscribed them. It seems like it's a big boost for me.

I think Scryer would rep up much faster than Aldor, but Aldor seems better for the class.
