Affliction Best in Slot

One of the issues with placing so much value in Hit (something that should be capped) is that you end up getting a lot of Best in Slot pieces with so much hit that altogether... its way too much. I put together a list of the perfect set with current available gear in my eyes.

Note that for Hit, I found it to be much more beneficial to your DPS to gear for 13% Hit rather than 14% hit. This is because there are 3 floating points in the first two tiers of Affliction you must use. And...

Re: Affliction Best in Slot

Although it isn't very common, I've taken to getting hitcapped via gear or at least have the items to be able to. Depending on the raid or group I wear more or less hit items.

To get that hitcap compared to the OP's list I've taken for now Cincture of Polarity, Bindings of the Expansive Mind and Signet of the Malevolent. Those 3 have the least impact on dps loss as far as I could tell, though it's mix and match atm and I don't get the 446 exactly.
Those three are either in my bag or am currently wearing them depending on whatever the raid was at the time the armory shot was taken. Getting the items listed by the OP is what my current wishlist looks like so that's pretty much dead on .

You're absolutely right, Beowulf. I was basing many of my ratings and drop locations from the "Dots and You" affliction thread on Elitist Jerks, and Namnalia has Embrace of the Spider as a Naxx25 drop. According to Wowhead, it drops in Naxx10, so the proper trinket pairing here would be Embrace of the Spider and Sundial of the Exiled.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking (I'm not a spelling nazi, but correct spelling helps a lot with understandability).

Whatever the color of the socket, just place the red +19 spelldam gems in it. For the Meta socket take the 25 spelldam and +2% int. For affliction that is the best choice for every piece of gear according to most theorycrafting.

The only things that would change for any demon or destro build is that you'd get the Chaotic Skyflare Diamond for meta and put Purified Twilight Opals (9sp/8spirit) in the blue sockets on neck and cloak. Rest of the sockets are filled with Runed Scarlet Rubies, just like for affliction. The only exception to this would be if you have a yellow socket with a very good socket bonus (like +8 haste on T7.5 helm) in which case you'd use a Reckless Monarch Topaz (9sp/8haste). All this assuming you don't depend on gems to be hit capped.

The reason the list stays the same is that there are a limited ammount of ilvl 226 items to choose from and these tend to be best in slot for all specs (exception being the robe from 25maly which has mp5 on it) The next task is to figure out what item to leave out to get the 2p bonus; and the T7.5 shoulders combined with 10man maly robe is a better combo than t7.5 robe and maly25 shoulders (25maly pants are just too good to give up), so to keep the 2p bonus the 25maly shoulders are left out.

Thumbs up to Rutiene for taking the time to put together this list

Re: Affliction Best in Slot

Hey Akasha:

It's no big deal, but I updated this on April 2, 2009 and the icon still says its from 3.0.8. (Should be 3.0.9). Is it supposed to be manual?
