In a world where all caster loot funnels to you alone, this list makes perfect sense. With that being said, Im personally aiming for a more practical build that is easy to accomplish. Nemesis helm, shoulders, and belt ; bloodvine chest, legs, and boots ; ebony gloves and then the rest is just the best stuff i can acquire.

You forget about tier 2 helm and shoulders. With raw stats they are not looking as good as other options from BWL or PvP but with adding 3 set bonus it starting to be pretty equal. You also have to consider two things - we already have to use t2 belt so it's easier to get bonus and second and most important thing is Mish'undare helm and Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal are BiS for mages until Naxx. Warlocks will change these items for Doomcaller so if your guild using loot council it's better to give mages prio for this items.

As long as we're using nemesis belt using nemesis shoulders and helm over blackwing cabal and hexxer's cover might be better and easier to get since blackwing cabal might be a contested item like mishundare.
@Paramorisbeast4 жыл бұрын
Yea I think thats better because the 23sp from the 3 piece is more than your missing out from the shoulders and head compared to blackwing and hexxers (41->32, 34->23) which is only 20sp
@kchekrik4 жыл бұрын
As you mention mages often get prio for Mish'Undare. In phase 5 mages are also going for the Mantle of Blackwing Cabal for their BiS list. Im surprised you didn't mention using Nemesis helm and shoulders, which actually gives more spell power than using Hexxer's cover and Mantle of the blackwing Cabal. That is what i personally will be going for while saving up some more goodwill from the mages for those sweet AQ drops :)

I've run the numbers for expected damage from shadowbolt, Jindo's bag is slightly lower value than AV offhand Tome of Shadow force -- my setup is Bloodvine, T2 helm shoulders belt, Felheart bracers, Felcloth Gloves, Band of Dark Dominion, Maiden's Circle, Briarwood Reed, Neltharion's Tear, Tome of Shadow Force, and Skul's Ghastly Touch... it's very marginal, with an expected damage difference of maybe 1-2 points, and I'm sure that once you upgrade any of these pieces that Jindo's bag will take priority, but I doubt it will be significant.

@aids I don't think thats how it works and hit stacks better than spell damage once you get over 400 SP. You get way more value from hit once you get over 6% anything below that you won't see much difference. Am not saying he doesn't know what he is saying but I don't think he has really looked into this, I ask you this question what basis have you come up with 2 hit is 25 - 30 SP? Not trying to be rude.

@aids I think people are just not taking into account the full picture when it comes to hit vs SP and try to add a value to it. You can pick up 7% hit gear in BWL and 1% in MC and 1% in Strath live. That 9% Hit far out weights any SP math people have come up with. So you don't need to wear some awful 3 pc blue set to get hit gear. ZG has some nice hit gear that you can wear like the cape and rings and also a neck pc (just off the top of my head). This best in slot sheet he had shown was good but hes missing alot of easy to get gear for some reason. Just want to point one thing out, hit is percentage base value so you can have bad luck with hit chance against a boss fight. Just like rolling the dice at a casino.
