break 4 pc for heroic shoulders?

[faragorn 2]

Is a heroic piece worth breaking 4 pc for?

Shoulderpads of Dou Dou Chong

 

The only piece I could re establish the bonus with is the head piece and since we are spending so much time on progression in earlier bosses we may not always kill the later bosses on normal to get it.

Why is this question coming up so much lately? 

 

Aff = no 4pc

Destor = yes 4pc

demo = yes 4pc

 

If you CAN have the set, you SHOULD have the set.

As Locky said, shoot for 4 piece ASAP and keep it. You should be playing Destro for most progression and 4 piece is really good.

 

For Affliction I'm building an offspec, having managed to pick up 1 HCWF offpiece, but I'm holding out for the legs from Juggernaut before I ditch the 4 piece as it isn't totally worthless, but two better itemized WF offpieces are preferred.

Do this " rule" is still true when there is 3 off set pieces with higher ilvl? ( instead of only one)

For exemple is 4p destro ilvl 561 + protectors shoulder 574 better than 2p destro ilvl 561+ protectors shoulders 574+trash mob gloves 574 + thock chest 574 ?

In this exemple with 3 hc off pieces , is gaining more stats better than 4p bonus?

The "rule" is simple.

 

Aff = 2pc

Destro = 4pc

Demo = 4pc.

 

I guess maybe if you were going from LFR items to H or HWF items it *might* be better to break your sets, but you'd just try to get your sets back as soon as possible anyways.

 

This isn't ToT anymore.
