Original Post:

Hello,

Currently I'm having a difficult time evaluating what gear is most appropriate for moving through BT. We are currently 4/5 MH and 3/9 BT, and I am 2/48/11 with +1200 spell damage and 33% crit.

However, I already have 2 piece T5 and am wondering if it's worth picking up two more pieces of T5 tonight and spec'ing 40/0/21 Arcane through the rest of BT. The downside would be, I would miss out on first picks of T6 gear. However, most of the T6 gear isn't much of an upgrade for me, and since the 2 set bonus is awful I'm having a hard time finding it worthwhile to invest all my EP into taking the T6 gear.

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this situation. I realize that I eventually want to hit 4 piece T6, but the 2 set bonus and quality of gear of the Gloves / Shoulders is such that I don't see it being worthwhile right now. My DPS with 4 piece T5 will definitely be higher than my current DPS in fire spec according to Rawr, and since many of the BT fights are very short I feel that Arcane may be the way to go.

Any input on this is much appreciated! My main worry is that I will regret taking the T6 gear which I have priority for currently -- but it's also possible that I can come back for it at a reduced cost once everyone else has the Gloves / Shoulders etc.

Thanks
