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.

That’s right, last night I managed to snag myself a new pair of gloves, the Heros’s Cryptstalker Handguards. And unlike my T7 chest piece that I bought with emblems, I got this one from a legit Obsidian Sanctum raid with my guild last night.

Which gives me that sweet, sweet 2 piece bonus.

During the same run I also snagged a Crimson Steel, which I have paired up with a Fang of Truth. Not the best option Attack Power wise, but this combo puts me at 8.30% +hit.

Now tonight I get to gem and enchant my 2 new pieces of gear and then hit the target dummies to see how I do. I might also take the time to play with different specs. More on that later.
