A Matching Set
by Santyn on Mar.13, 2009, under Gear, Raiding
As my ventures in Naxx have continued, I haven’t seen much in the way of gear upgrades. This week that has changed though. Wednesday night Noth was nice enough to drop the Trespasser’s Boots, allowing me to finally get rid of my old blue boots, leaving my with a ring and trinket away from being fully “Epic-ed” out.
Last night was the big score though. The token dropped for T7 pants and I managed to win the roll. With that in hand I was finally able to snag my 4th piece of T7. All together I have the shoulders, chest, legs, and gloves, with the gloves being the only piece that is Valorous.
Now this leave me with some testing to do. Sure, tier pieces are nice and all, but do they offer the best stat choices for me. To equip them I will lose a considerable amount of +hit and crit, both of which are crucial to my current build. The +hit I can make up by swapping out a few other pieces, but the crit is going to hurt. I will have to do some testing at the target dummy to see if the extra AP and set bonuses provide more DPS than what I am currently wearing.
As a side note, this is why I rarely get rid of any piece of gear. Stat stacking is all about balance. Upgrading one piece may mean that you need to swap out other pieces to maintain the balance. Once you have an item and have gemmed and enchanted it, make sure to hang on to it because you just might need it later.
