Narxuthael Character Info Narxuthael 80 Undead Warlock Frostmourne Oceania PvP Guild: The Cheesemongers Profile: Blizzard Armory Talent Spec: 56/0/15	Ulduar Gearing I can't find Pimp My Lock anymore :\| At any rate this is a partial Pimp my Lock and partial QQ about Ulduar gearing. So far I have had my fair share of drops and am quite happy - apart from one thing. Item stats. I am finding it exceptionally difficult to add gear in without huge changes being made. I am finding myself now sitting on a few pieces purely because I cannot seem to find a way to work them into my set. To explain - my armory link in my profile is my current Affliction set of gear. I also run a generic Destro build sometimes and have a set of gear that has higher crit but a reduction in haste (its a 2% swap of haste for crit). The main changes in the destro build is the introduction of Handwraps of Resonance, Leggings of Atrophy, and swapping the Chain of the Ancient Wyrm for Chain of Latent Energies to maintain the hit cap. I've been lucky to get these other following drops. Unraveling Reach Leggings of Unstable Discharge Mantle of the Preserver Ideally I'd love to use these pieces but I am finding that I am either way over on the hit cap (and don't know where I'd start to respec in dropping suppression) or have lost large chunks of haste and spellpower. Quite simply my QQ portion is that I think Blizz has gone too far in their itemisation. Having over 100 points of one stat like hit on a single item feels like bludgeoning to me. Whilst I am sure that in the overall scheme of things it makes sense to have such high stats on the item, I for the life of me am struggling to add these items into my sets. Unlike Naxx or Naxx25 where it wasn't such a stress to add new pieces into an existing gearset, Ulduar gear just seems too over the top with the way it's throwing around huge stats on gear, ie Elemental Focus Stone (104 hit). Does anyone else think/feel the same? And any suggestions on what to trade in/out to try to work those pieces into my gearsets? __________________ I've seen porn cleaner than that!
