As you can see, I'm finally hit-capped (after switching in some ToC 5-man bracers for my Naxx ones), but my Expertise is still low. A lot of that hit, though, comes from my leather pieces (gloves and helm).
-I have enough badges to pick up my tier helm and get the 2-piece set bonus, however this would drop me down below hit cap as the helm has no hit on it at all.
-Alternatively, I could buy these pants, which not only have tons of hit rating, but also have some pretty red and yellow sockets.
-I have some mail gloves from Ulduar that my current hit rating does not allow me to switch to, but with more hit rating I should be able to wear them.
So, here are my options as I see them right now:
1-Go for the set bonus, try not to worry about the hit rating too much.
2-Get the pants, and save up for the helm next--they'll more than make up for the loss of hit.
3-Get the pants, equip the gloves, and see about adding a bit more hit rating while saving up for the helm.
I'm thinking I want to go with option 3 right now, but maybe the set bonus is really worth the loss of hit?
Also: The Brewfest trinket is an upgrade over the Meteorite Whetstone, yes? Haste confuses me.
