Nevermind, I figured it out

I don't have any points on either Dreamstate or Intensity. As long as other people (healers etc) don't need my innervate, I can go on forever.

I forgot about 2T9, which might actually make ImpMF worth it. The last time I checked ImpMF numbers was during T8 content.

And no. Crit is better than haste if you have more than 401 haste. That is not saying haste is bad after that point. It is still huge, but since Wrath is responsible for at least 40% of your damage (or should be), and you will be hitting the GCD at 401, that haste is just wasted during that part of your rotation, while crit will benefit everything.

And since we are talking about T9 content, is Typhoon still worth it ? I'm speced for it, and it was great at Ulduar, but ToC ? I'm seriously considering dropping it for something else (please consider I run around 300ms latency, which makes breaking my rotation even worse).

Been thinking a about changing my spec. I'm 4T9 right now, with the T9 idol.

Current: 58/0/13

New one: 58/0/13 with ImpMF and 3 iIS

With 2T9 and IMF, you should only have 1/3 Moonglow. That frees up two filler points--I currently have them in Owlkin, which is just as good as any other option.

The exception is Anub'arak 25H. There you need Gale Winds, and I'd recommend the point in Typhoon as well (as well as Glyph of Typhoon and Glyph of Starfall).

Well, my guild is nowhere near 25H Anub, so I'm not going to worry about that right now. we are still struggling with the NB on 25H. I can see your points there, tho, and agree about Gale Winds. Just not so sure about Typhoon. But, to tell you the truth, I'm just bored with that spell, so I'm biased.

this thread, first post - look at the sig

"2)" is the point you are interested, and this is the way it has to be

Ah lol, I guess search doesn't include signatures .. you guys should post that in the 1st post/reply anyways instead of the signature... I don't Im not the first one to not notice that, since signatures do not usually include this kind of useful information.

There was a section on set bonuses in the OP as well. Slightly dated, since I've been focusing on the TTT article (sig) more, but still answers the question accurately.

I would use T9 Head and Chest and use T8 219 Shoulder + gloves (as there is not that many item points on these 2 pieces, so the difference isn't that big with the 226)

That's what I feel would do the job best.

I'm in the same 10slot boat as you are. I've picked up two trophies from Anub HC 10man and I'm now saving up emblems for my second piece of 245 T9.

I ran the numbers with the following:

Head/Chest 245 T9 and Leg/Hand 219 T8
vs
Head/Chest 226 T8 (conquest badge) and Leg/Hand 245 T9

Taking the 219 Leg/Hand still comes out on top, and it has the added bonus of being available from VoA25, you can still get lucky and eventually pickup those two pieces of 226 ilvl.

(above assumes NrB Heroic shoulders as offset)

So don't be afraid of wearing 219 stuff, it's still better - and you've got a *chance* from VoA of upgrading to the 226 versions.

Personally, I got lucky and got the gloves from VoA - but am still stuck with 219 legs.

*Note if you're checking my armory - it currently shows a messed up setup of 232 T9 Helm and 219 T8 Shoulders whilst I save the last few emblems for my 245 Helm, trophy is waiting in my bags.

Thanks for the insight. What is the motivation for using the T8.219 legs over the shoulders as was previously mentioned? Also, is anybody else finding hit a little hard to come by in our situation?

@ thrillz:

There are a few posts within moonkin EJ threads that detail the fact that Fetish of Volatile Power is not a viable option over something such as Mithril Pocketwatch or Abyssal Rune. In short, it is due to the need to stack the buff you gain over time instead of recieving an instant buff. The stack over time does not work very well when a player is soft haste capped(as you are) as the best time to use the trinket would be during lunar eclipse, but you would have to be very lucky with your predictions to use it without encroaching on the solar eclipse while using the full effect during lunar.

Mithril Pocketwatch and Mark of the War Prisoner are the best 2 trinkets for you at this time. You need mark to keep your hit rating up, this is the most valuable stat to gain until the hit cap. Because you are soft haste cappped (~400 -- varies with latency etc) crit is then valued slightly better than haste beyond that point.

For proper calculations you can search this very thread or one of the following websites:
