Title: Need gearing up!!
Post by: saori on June 06, 2007, 03:21:17 PM
Hello Tailors,
 
At the moment im level 366 and planing to reach level 375 for saturday so i can make one nice [item]21871en[/item]
 
BTW, i need also 1 [item]24267en[/item] and 1 [item]24263en[/item]
 
I can get all the maths needed real fast but want to know if here are some tailors that are able to do them. My main goal is to have one of each since maths are quite easy to get (if you find enough alchemists that make you the primal mights)
 
Spellstrike pieces [item]24266en[/item] [item]24262en[/item] can be a possibility, well, anyone here that can make some of Battlecast for me? :D
 
Im also interested in 1 of [item]24274en[/item]
 
Any help will be much apreciated! :)

spellstrike seams better then battlecast by a comfertable margine, id go for that instead, if your gonne bother going through the hassle of making epic items.

From the little i have read about warlock gear i would say battlecast over Spellstrike, though i am not so sure if either is a good choice.

From what i have read the best spec is affliction and crit rating is wasted on dots. You only want pure damage and some spell hit. The extra stamina on battlecast can give you some decent leeway to get lower stamina and more damage at other item slots.

But for warlock specs and itemization you are best of checking armory profiles. For Example

Gilliam (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Mal%27Ganis&n=Gilliam), Elitist Jerks one of the better Horde guilds in the world
Prophecy (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Korgath&n=Prophecy), Death and Taxes ranked 4th in the world in raiding at Bosskillers.com

Europe Armory seams to be down at the moment but checking known aszune warlocks might help like Thantor, Strontiumdog and Hellhound.

Some warlocks (including myself on my alt) are going for Battlecast.. Spellstrike is more of a mage equipment due to the lower amount of stamina, and as I find Affliction to be a quite boring spec (and yes I checked some of the warlocks in Sora, Genesis etc etc afliction bla bla..).. The amount of stamina will raise my ability to stay alive and not run out of mana at the same time..

But as I've been on a total of around 4-6 runs on that lock since lvl 60 I've specced in a more soloable spec (in my point of view) and it will also work well in PvP.. If you look at my profile (yea look up yourself) it might not be that well with PvE, but meh..

anyways.. a tad drunk.. Battlecast ftw!!! gib 20x Primal might..

I'd take amore simplistic approach and wait to see what spec you raid with.  If you are going DOT spec then Battlecast might well arguably suit you better as a balanced piece of kit, but Spellstrike with it's +crit and +hit beats Battlecast on all other builds.  In any case, there's enough +Sta out there in other pieces of kit to not specifically need the stamina from Battlecast imo.

My priest can make the spellstrike pants.  Unfortunately I have yet to see any of the other recipes drop for my tailors :sad:

Well, its true that the +crit and +hit rating of Spellstrike are very nice...
 
mmm, but Battlecast +int and +sta are huge! Well, since this is a matter of quick gearing up, i suppose it will be faster to go for spellstrike rather than battlecast.
 
Who can make me the pants and the hood? could it be posible before next sunday raid? I can get maths for sunday (i think)

Frostdiva (Genesis) can make the hood.  Frosty has nethers in stock I think and I will try to get a nether on my priest for the weekend.  Whisper me in game.

I think the point I was trying to make was that there is not much need (unless maybe for PVP) for you to get so much stamina and intellect.  The DPS is the more important at the moment imo as the few check fights are DPS based, not stamina based.

I think you're getting a bit over-excited Saori - remember to read the whole posts :flirty:

But good effort on the gearing up, as we need all the DPS we can get to progress in Kara :thumbsup2:

Very nice belt! true! i can try to get some primal nethers for it too! Problem will be the shadowcloth, but well, very much the same thing than the spellcloth.
 
Well, no problem, i can easly grind about 300g/day
 
Nefertem, i still owe you 100g!! :)

primal nethers are bop mate, so Teaelle has to loot them himself
