tuvarkz 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2016 So, I just got the 855 version of http://www.wowhead.com/item=134518/frozen-pendulum-shoulderguards&bonus=1726%3A0&spec=73 on top of the 850 version of http://www.wowhead.com/item=134503/inferno-breastplate&spec=73&bonus=1826 I had kept in reserve just in case the other dropped. Issue is, currently I have 850 http://www.wowhead.com/item=139232/midnight-heralds-pauldrons&bonus=1807%3A0&spec=73 with a socket and 865 http://www.wowhead.com/item=138216/horror-inscribed-chestguard&bonus=1807%3A0&spec=73. How valuable is the 2set bonus, and is it worth downgrading my overall gear ilvl drop just for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drtain 74 Report post Posted October 21, 2016 Hard to say I wish you linked your armory, it really depends on your crit and your haste, if you're crit is at or below 30% without the 2 sec i wouldn't suggest use the 2 set. If can achieve at least 30% crit with the 2 set equip i would suggest it, if you drop below 30% crit i would avoid it. The 2 set is around a 40-60% uptime depending on rng, and provides a flat 8% increase to damage which averages out around 3-5% flat dps increase off the set bonus which out weighs the strength you would gain by a lot, but you lose crit gain haste which could be good or bad depending on how much haste and crit you have. TLDR: If you have 30% crit with the 2 set equipped use the 2 set if not stay with other gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
