Hopefully they fix that totem soon because the 400 AP would be nice. I still open with SS no matter what, sometimes Flameshock cause it's only 5.4 seconds for me heh.

Vespasian: Was looking at your gear last night. Was comparing it to my set up which at the moment is still 4pc conq, but about to be 2pc triumph (shoulders and debating on gloves or waiting for legs) with [Cuirass of Cruel Intent] gemmed with 2 40 Attack power gems. I also have a [Boundless Gaze] from Algalon 25 sitting in my bags, but I'm not too sure if I want to use that and break my 2pc conq, assuming I have the 2pc triumph already. I tried simming that set up with a combination of AP/haste gems and straight haste gems and then tried an AP/haste and straight AP gems and got barely a difference. Right now, I already have roughly 500 haste and I don't see a gain if I go haste, but then again, your gear level and my gear level are different so the answers would be different of course.
What I'm saying is I see that ideally, with more gear level, the better the haste sims which is why the BIS list on page 1 is all gemmed for haste. But should I start now or should I wait till 4pc t9/9.25? Granted, doing ap/haste and a few straight haste would result in a loss of attack power regardless, and getting the triumph gloves would then bring me to an expertise exceeded cap just by gear, and would open up two sockets that have 20exp gems in them.

I'd like some insight whether I should use this helm or not, granted I'm 2nd on getting Death's choice, so with the hit it brings, I could lose the [Mark of Supremacy] I have. Maybe I should stick with 2pc conq and 2pc triumph, therefore losing my [Gloves of the Steady Hand]with 2 40ap gems. Blah Maybe it's right in front of my face what I should be doing, but I'm in the clouds right now. Sorry if I sound dumb. :P

Thanks!
