Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
Feeback for: Flyingade Nice gear. I did notice you have 3 blue gems (head, chest and feet) but only need 2 to activate your meta. Might want to change one of those to a runed. The +15 sprit chest enchant is also a marginal DPS increase over +10 all stats, but maybe you have that on for other reasons. Me: Deimosia's Armory Profile I'm in a good sized casual guild. We run heroics and 5 man ToC. We do 10man naxx, uld and VoA once or twice per month, and pug into 25man VoA when we can as a group. Given the places we go I'm pretty happy with gear with the exception of haste. I'm over the hit cap, and have been looking for some gear to sacrifice hit or crit to gain haste, but so far nothing that I have access to seems to do that. Should I wait until I can replace the shoulders and the hands together, or is the Emblem shoulders/hands a big enough upgrade to be worth busting the set bonus? What is my best bet for an off-hand upgrade? I'm already planning to replace the meta, but need to buy 3 gems when I do that. Another 10k honor and I'll be set to make that move. |

Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
Feeback for: Deimositor Your armory profile looks great, I've actually used your profile as a model for what I should strive for! I wish I had a little more knowledge on some haste gear that would be a good upgrade for you but other than trying to get upgrades like legs from the Gul'dan's set for haste I'm not sure what else is available. (Gul'dan's Leggings of Triumph) Me: Azteroth's Profile We have a few similar pieces and I've done alot of the same things you have. My main concern is hit and haste. Its hard to find the right gems that wont interfere with my meta. I so want to sack the gem in my weapon for a +23sp... Just dont know where I can sacrifice for another blue... Thanks for looking! |

Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
Feeback for: Azteroth You have the same problem that I do: too much crit and too little haste. Focus more on haste gear. Remember: Hit > SP > Haste > Spirit > Crit (that if you are not hit capped. Hit is useless over the cap) A few replaces you should make: - Replace your Stopwatch with Abyssal Rune - Item - World of Warcraft ASAP!!! You can get this from reg ToC, so you can farm as much as you want until you get it. Haste is much better than Crit. - Get Kurisu's Indecision - Item - World of Warcraft ASAP (H ToC). It should get you closer to hit cap while giving more SP. - Get Evoker's Charm - Item - World of Warcraft ASAP (bought with emblems of conquest). Your neck has MP5, which is useless. This will up your haste and spirit. - Get the T8.5 head using emblems of conquest. Although it is a level 226 item and your Ony helm is 245, I think the set bonus is still better. Although I'm not absolutely sure of that... You should make some simcraft simulations to check it. Check this thread for a how-to: Some nice features of simcraft (import from armory etc) - You shouldn't have wasted your emblems of triumph on the wand... Save them to get at least two pieces of T9 so you get the set bonus. Priority should probably be shoulders. - Your build in the Demo tree is wrong. Drop Improved Health stone, put only 2 points in Demonic Embrace, 2 pts in Fel Synergy, 3 points in Fel Vitality. You still have one point to spend which is kinda optional. I advise to get Shadowfury, because of its usefulness in some situations (stun) and also because it is another option to use when you are on the move in raids. - After getting T9, maybe you should get this: Band of the Invoker - Item - World of Warcraft. I'm not sure if it is better to get 4 pieces before this ring or just 2... Again, go with simcraft. - I understand this might be not possible right now, but a tip to the future: Replace your hit gems for SP+haste ones. Hit cap should be achieved by gear alone. Don't sacrifice the gem in your weapon, it is best where it is. If you get this new gear I proposed, then maybe you could do some changes (T8.5 head has a blue slot also and the bonus is slightly better. I don't think it is worth the money though...) Hope I could help! Last edited by kikovsk; October 22, 2009 at 12:01 PM.. |

Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
Heh mate nice gear i am probably under geared to you but think i am on the right track... Reading between the lines there is a soft hit cap of 500 on haste..so is what i am aiming for and think you should too, Also i have a few +hit items of gear in bank or in bags so i can change depending on food or raid classes that help buff my hit/stats.... also using the following gem due to dps value of 27dps with Purified Dreadstone - Item - World of Warcraft and if over capped change ench on feet to +spirit?? Maybe worth looking at for yourself I have based my gear on the benefits of 2x2 tiered gear item sets bonus damage (rightly or wrongly) if correct i dunno here is link to my Lock http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...s&n=Azerundith YES i am an ALLI lol please dont hold against me...:s we all in it to get maximum dps and imba gear... Have few conflicting threads or forums i have read regarding gear and some items conflict to general rule of thumb where when we hit capped we should try go for Spell Power ~> Haste ~> Spirit ~> Stamina ~> Crit ~> ..in that case some items when capped must be better dps (e.g off hand Handbook of Obscure Remedies The World of Warcraft Armory OVER Ward of the Violet Citadel http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xm...698....because ) of its spirit value?? lso the enchants that aid capping to hit as above not icewalker but +spirit or on back (Cloak) is lightweave if tailor with a % chance to benefit any better than a greater speed enchant for a constant ever present value and not chance???? Is this right?... I dunno :s The MATHS nad MECHANICS scramble an already mixed up head :s Like you i am an occasional raider and mostly guild 10s i do and now and then PuG 25s... So not all upgrades readily available so any info on where i going wrong or answers to the above riddles please ALL INPUT WELCOME

Taking a second look back ...
Mckormick wants suggested gear upgrades I posted some time ago and took your advice. I'm a growing warlock and still have room for improvement but where (in terms of highest priority)? I have been running heroics and some argent tourney dailies and with emblems and champ seals banked, i'm looking to spend for some much needed upgrades. Before you pick away at the weapon and hand held let me say , yes I have been running H ToC for upgrades but have lost rolls, and or drops havent been in my favor. I think my rings, neck, and trinkets could be better. I not against swapping out my alchemy created item. I prefer playing afflic spec and dont PvP. Please post your suggests and I'll link my armory url below. Thanks The World of Warcraft Armory |

Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
feedback for Anon411 I would try to run nax 10 or 25 and to upgrade some of your heroic gear, not really familiar with demo anymore, I am hoping someone could help me, I have pretty good gear, I got the t9.25 gloves from koralen, i just got a trophy and not sure what other piece I should get to give me the 2 piece t9.25, and not sure if it is even worth it to get it, or should I also go with 2 piece t8.5, the tough decision is which item do I replace, legs, shoulders, helm or chest, my thoughts were either legs or shoulders, and I am lucky if I pull 5k dps, herei smy armory link The World of Warcraft Armory |

Re: Rate the Warlock above you's Gear - #2
feedback for: jbadam01 If you're having problems with DPS, it's because your hit is too low (unless you're running with a draenei and a boomkin/sp in your raids). If none of these are present, you need to get up to 368 hit. That will significantly improve your DPS. One of the ways to get there would be to gem a handfull of the yellow slots, You might also want to consider going with a MH & OH as opposed to the 2H. Not only does a good combination give you better stats than a 2H, it also gives you more flexibility should you need to gear increase/decrease hit when you get new gear. Since it seems that you have 2pcs T9.5 & no T8.5, I'm guessing you've moved on since your original question. ------------ Here's my gear The World of Warcraft Armory. I know I can afford to lose a blue gem (I'm hoping to upgrade the feet soon, so I've left it as is for now). I run 10's and pug 25's. The guild's just starting on Heroic 10's. |
