Is this an oversight?
For example, the [Onslaught Legguards] should be a superior choice to [Destroyer Legguards] in your maximum threat setup, unless you are specifically looking to make use of the Tier 5 Bonuses.
Personally I find that wearing gear a Tier below the current standard isn't necessary even in a situation where you want to produce maximum threat, and having a list of items as an alternative in the same manner as you have a range of choices for max-mitigation would be the most prudent.
Off topic - this thread has been an excellent read. Great work. |
Not answering for him, but in general, the agro gain per set piece (helm is the exception) is greater on Tier 5 than Tier 6. Throwing in the 2 piece and 4 piece bonuses, with the mitigation downgrade (which is absolutely needed at the higher end of gear for some bosses) for more rage production, and T5 becomes a great alternate set to max agro on fights like Najentus or ROS or Winterchill. In no way though would I see anyone using T5 for Illidan/Shahraz etc. when they have the current highest Tier equivalent. Think of it as using DPS gear to tank in heroics when you are grouped with arcane mages and rogues with both warglaives simply so you have rage to keep up with their DPS.
