Should I get the new alchemist trinket from SSO to replace my Icon?

Maelgrim · July 14, 2008, 07:11 AM

I am wondering if I should get the new alchemist trinket from the sso faction to replace my icon. Would the higher +damage and the mana potion effect from that trinket help my overall dps more than the use effect from the icon? My guild is 4/5 hyjal and 4/9 in bt. I logged out in my farming/heroic gear not my raid gear, in the raid gear I am hitcapped and all that other happy stuff. I usually lead dps and am in the top three or four in damage done on bosses.

If you are an alchemist (and planned to stay that way due to discoveries etc) then it might be worth making.

It has alot of static damage and for an alchemist lock, the potion affect is amplified somewhat by tapping before the pot. This is to help mana regeneration and is quite powerful when used with a mad alchemist potion, see Optimal Mana Regneration for Destro Locks - Page 3 - The Warlocks Den Forums
for further info.

The clickable plus damage bonus of the icon makes them worth almost the same in terms of static damage bonus. Ie around 66 vs 63 for the sorc alch stone. I like the alch stone effect a lot though. It can make the pots worth a big chunk of health. It also makes the mad alch pots even more worthwhile considering how cheap they are.
