well i've researched what i've could after coming back to wow after 8 months [hard college semester]
This is atleast the 3rd or 4th time in my wow career that i've gone by allakazam's word of whether what i'am thinking and planning is right.
My aim for now is entry into TOC. in other words 3.2 raiding. I have a nelf rogue.
iam using the ideal mutilate build.
Gem plans are
Blue - shifty dead stoner
red - delicate cardinal ruby
yellow - deadly ametrine [ideally] or glinting ametrine [compromise] or rigid kings wood [if hit is too low] [i'am noticing a severe lack of hit in most of the rogue items i saw]
Meta - we all know this.
Helm - Either T9-Vancleef or Lethal Intent [75 emblems of T]. I'd rather go for Lethal Intent.
Necklace - Already have arathor. Aiming for Barbed yummy choker [forgemaster from pit of saron]
shoulders - choice between t9 for 30 emblems of T or Duststalker for 45 emblems. smaller gap between these two than there is between the helms. If i really want the [4] set bonus. Ill go for t9. More on this when i get you in my pants.
cape - the accursed crawling cape from forge of souls [devourer] looks nice but the naxx 25 cape, deadly foe, from kelthuzad [which never drops..] seems an option yet.
Chest - t9 for 50 Emblems of T. If it drops, i'll wear Choking hauberk from Halls of reflection [marwyn]till i get emblems of T. But really, 50 emblems doesnt take too long at all, so why bother?
Wrists - Chewed leather wristguards from the pit.
Gloves - meh T9 seems the only viable option. So at the very least i'am getting the [2] set bonus by default.
Belt - Flayer blackbelt from forgemaster of the peach pit [must be starring in the new karate kid movie]
Pants - Now there is the t9 for 50 emblems of T. But i'am eyeing the fleshwerk legs from 5man TOC, it does look so much better. Is the combined benefits of these pants and the previously mentioned duskstalker shoulders over their t9 equivalents worth more than the [4] set bonus whcih consists of a 5% higher crit rate for muty? hmm
Shoes - Blighted leather footpads look great. but heroic Tch [aka 5man toc] has Dismal Fortune which does seem better .
Rings - Dexterous brightstone for 35 emblems of T. For sure. But...Carnelian&Bone [normal Forgemaster Garfrost of the peach pit] and Stained Souls from the last boss of the heroic peach pit both seem so good. Iam not sure which is better.
Trinkets - i already have the mark of supremacy. The needle encrusted scorpion seems an obvious choice. the shard of crystal heart looks nice, but i dont think as nice as the former two.
oh ya the ranged weapon. Crimson star for 25 emblems. Papa's new knife looks good too.
Daggers. I currently got bloodweeper and i dont see anything better. I have the black knights rondel for now. I'am aiming for the unsharpened nose picker, random drop from the icecrown instances.
