Not sure what to get with my frost badges!?Follow

So here's my armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Altar+of+Storms&cn=Zarluuk

Not the best gear, my guild is just starting to progress through ICC, and we're a new guild. So... I'm doing what I can. My dps is good now but I know it could be better. So I'm wanting to make sure I get the best upgrades in the correct order.

I've got 88 Frost Badges right now, I'll have more than 95 by the end of tonight without a doubt, so I'll have enough for another piece of tier 10 if I want.

Now as you can see I have two piece tier 10, and two piece tier 9 bonuses right now. Both very strong, both net a lot of dps for me. I have one main armor piece (my chest) that is not a tier piece however. It's already ilvl 251 though, and it's not the best chestpiece for me, but it's not horrible either. The hit on it is wasted, but the AP is insane. The armor pen I would get from getting tier 10 chest would help a lot for Marks, and help a bit for Surv too. Admittedly I'm mostly Surv atm in raids so it wouldn't do "too" much.

I could upgrade from 232>251 and replace a piece of my tier 9 for a big stat increase, but I'd lose my two piece tier 9 set bonus. Worth it? Ehhhhhhh.

The thing I'm really feeling is the 60 badge frost trinket. The Herkumi War Token, I believe it's called. The Haste wouldn't really be put to good use, but that equip is SOLID with the stacking AP... One my current trinkets is terrible, I'm still using the 232 badge trinket that has like 150 hit on it... Wtf? I've had horrible luck for trinkets.

I know that trinket would probably help me most now, but 4piece tier 10 will probably help me most in the long run. Well, who knows. I'm actually not sure. What do YOU experienced Hunters who have been playing Hunter forever think?

I'm not sure what the spreadsheet would say for you, but in my current spec/gear, the PvP cloak is no better than the BoE cloak that drops off Kologarn in Ulduar-10. Which is actually what I was wearing when I used my first 50 badges to upgrade - in retrospect, that was a mistake due to how powerful 2T10 is, but it was massive in its own right (if I'm reading my pawn values right, it's 60 dps).

I believe that current theory about when to abandon 2T9 is "4T10, if at least one of the new pieces is 264". Since I'm not going to see ilvl 264 drops until Cata, I'm personally concentrating on the edge pieces with no BoE alternative (i.e. back and waist) before thinking about more tier gear.

I'm putting off my decision about the trinket until after the belt. I figure that gives me four to six more weeks for another WFS to drop. Still no suitable replacement for DMC:G...

Go fiddle with the spreadsheet/femaledwarf and buy whatever gets you the most dps per emblem.
It's easy, really.
