Which trinket for Winterchill?

Shastarian · August 11, 2008, 07:19 PM

I am about to go into Mount Hyjal with a new guild to (hopefully down) Rage Winterchill. I have read up on all the strats, watched movies, etc, but I have one question.

I farmed the 8K Honor for the 2 minute PVP Trinket last night, and will be taking that with me for Rage. Which other trinket should I roll with? I have these choices:
1. Icon of the Silver Crescent - I have a Shadow Bolt macro that attempts to use this trinket whenever I cast Shadow Bolt, otherwise I would forget to use it (lol)
2. Darkmoon Card: Crusade
3. Farm Heroic MgT for Timbal's Focusing Crystal.

I am an afflock (41/0/20), and am thinking that maybe the Darkmoon Card would be best, but I'd like to hear what you think, especially if you are an afflock and have fought this guy previously. I don't want to make a bad impression on this guild :-)

Thanks all!

If you're guild understands Affliction at all then they won't expect a huge damage out put from you so I'm sure you won't make a bad impression. I'd use the PVP trinket and the Crusade Card. As affliction it's much easier to keep up the 10-stack Aura as you can instant cast Corruption while you are running out of Death and Decay

^^ Agree with this guy.

On your list...Timbrals crystal is supposed to be an awesome dps upgrade for affliction and I can believe it. Even as mainly destr with insta corrupion I saw this thing proc a whole heap - will be crazy as affliction maybe even better than the card or icon.

Word of warning - farming Mag T Heroic will have you eating your own hands after a week - can be painfull without a regular skilled group Pugging not generally recommended tbh.

Thanks for the advice, all. I'll roll with the Darkmoon Card and the PvP Trinket.

I have heard that H MgT is difficult, but I went through with some friends from the guild and we only wiped when the tank marked up the mobs behind us, right before the second-last-boss. We were expecting him to keep going, but he wanted to clear behind us, and so ...
But other than that, I wouldn't mind farming it. It's a well designed instance and I get to see more of my succubus than in most others :P

Yeah the mob behind you guys for the 3rd boss is needed to clear if you decide to use fear. cos the mobs like to look for their friends in that group.
