Ok, let me start by saying that RAWR is, as a frost mage, absolutely worthless. Even with the most up to date version, I pull around twice the DPS it says I should. It gives absolutely terrible gear priorities for me, and it's obvious that the rawr dudes need to pay me to re-write their frost formulae >.>
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've got a robe that's 2 tiers of content behind. I'm slowly saving up for the Merlin's Robe, but on my server we have an AH manipulator that buys all the decently priced ones (under 7K) and marks them up to the cost of a battered hilt. The other day when I checked, MR were selling for 18-20K. This is NOT an option for me, as I'm terrible at saving money in the first place.
Is there a robe, obtainable in 10 mans, that I'm missing while combing over atlas loot? I'm thinking with a semi-decent robe, I can bring my numbers up to soaring levels.
I have the 225(226?) T8 chest. It has more SP than the T9 one, so that isn't an option, unless I'm missing something vital about it.
Alternatively, would it be smarter for me to pick a second piece of T8 out of the bank and just stick with that bonus?
I'm lost here, and I would really appreciate some help. I'm only staying around 50 DPS above our arcane mage, and I don't like that :D
