Hi guys,
I'm following this thread with interest. My big problem is that I'm a leveling Paladin, not a level 80 so the assigned values are a little off for me.

Case in point:
Yesterday after installing Pawn and importing the suggested ret values, I came upon this quandry.

Battlemaster's Breastplate
Binds when picked up
Chest Plate
902 Armor
+21 Agility
+38 Strength
+22 Stamina
Durability 135 / 135

vs.

Light-Touched Breastplate
Binds when picked up
Chest Plate
873 Armor
+26 Strength
+25 Intellect
+25 Stamina
Red Socket
Yellow Socket
Blue Socket
Socket Bonus: +5 Spell Power
Durability 135 / 135
Requires Level 60
Equip: Restores 5 mana per 5 sec.

Clearly the Battlemaster's Breastplate is more Ret-Paladin oriented however the Pawn values were highly in favor of the Light Touched Breastplate because of the open sockets. I am aware that I can use the Bold Scarlet Ruby and possibly the Inscribed Monarch Topaz or even Sovereign Shadow Crystal however, I'm not going to pay a bundle for gems to socket armor that I will only be using a few levels.

Can anyone suggest a change that I can make with the value assignments to bring them more into line with leveling or are there alternatives gems that someone could suggest that will still make the Light-Touched armor more viable for the build and not break the bank?

Thanks in advance.
