The cuffs are socketed with 4 crit 4 str gem.
The cuffs are so much better at first glance, but the haste stacking really draws me towards the swiftstrike, i'm at 105 haste rating atm (10%) and hopefully i will be getting another haste ring soon, but i'm trying to convince myself to go farm the primal airs for the bracers when im not convinced there will be any benefit from 27 haste rating.
So stick to the cuffs or make the swiftstrike? |
That's an interesting concern as I was looking at the Tier 5 gloves vs. the Fists of Mukoa. I believe hitting the 4 piece tier 5 set bonus and the added hit from the t5 gloves will push me over the top in that direction. I just don't know the benefits of haste over hit enough to entice me back across the line.
I recently upped my hit to around the 240 mark with a lot of added AP, and it really showed in my DPS output.
I think if you're not hurting on +hit, the swiftstrike look really nice, but the deadly cuffs also provide a lot of stam/crit/hit which can allow you more budget on other items.
