Hey Y'all,

Would you lend me some ideas for gear improvements. I have just begun raiding ICC 10 and we do TotC 10/ 25 regularly now. I have 55 frost badges and enough triumphs for 2 more T9 pieces. I was going to save the frost for the T10 chest. I am still wearing the T8 chest/ head. I would get the T9 head and shoulders but then I fall off the hit cap. I do not want to get one more T9 and break the 2T8 set bonus. Is this dumb? RAWR is somewhat helpful but I am in a quandary. Also wondering whether the triumph intel trinket is better as I am arcane.

I would appreciate any comments.

Overall your gear looks pretty good for where you are at.

My recommendation: get the int triumph trinket (it is great, macro it to your 'pop all cooldowns macro' if you don't have one yet make one). It is definitely better than either of the trinkets that you have.

The t8 bonus is not worth holding onto if you can be running around with a 4pc t9, I would keep the shoulders and replace the head and chest with the t9.

I don't see where you would be dropping the hit if you replace your helm you actually gain hit. (which you are about 70 over cap as it is for arcane, you really only need 8% hit if you raid with a boomkin/spriest regularly and you are fully hit talented between arcane focus and elemental precision). You would be fine replacing the chest + shoulders as well (although the shoulders are a good deal better than your helm, which you will need to replace them all at some point with T10, more of just when you want to get around to doing that.


Rawr can help you but you need to select your options with the green diamonds then optimize. It will most likely not have your upgrade to one piece and drop a set bonus of the one below (if that makes sense) but if you throw it the opportunity of adding two pieces that works better.

I'm guessing the best dps increase for you right now would be to drop the two pieces of t8 with T9 (or your shoulders if you want for a placeholder) then replace the chest with t10 when you get the badges and when you get your t10 2pc (which is awesome btw) replace something different with T10 and pop the shoulders back on.

Like I said, you won't be below the hit cap as long as someone is providing the hit buff for you.


Oh, and /wave @ scilla (my old server before transferring to Stormscale).
