Hi guys! - I did ICC25 last night and got some new upgrades from there. I am wondering if i should keep the T10 4 set bonus or go for the 4 epics that can give me a boost in other areas as Def, hp and armor. I compiled a list below to help out the comparision what to gain/loss. The hit loss can be reduced further by gemming hit/stam (zul) in some items. I know that the T10 4 set bonus is sweet to have but if its worth dropping for other stat gains.
ITEMS in question are: [Broken Ram Skull Helm] [Grinning Skull Greatboots] [Bracers of Dark Reckoning] [Cataclysmic Chestguard] vs T10 251 chest, helm and crafed 264 [Boots of Kingly Upheaval] and crafted 245 Bracers.
My reason in wanting a boots replacement is to get my expertise up from 11 to 27 and gaining 80 def. The chart below is showing before -> after equipping
GAINS:
636 Armor
540 def to 584 (5,60% to 7,36%) reduced chance to be hit + critically hit by bosses
46,1k -> 46,9 = 800 HP
19 AP
1% Parry
11 -> 27 Expertise = 16 expertise gained (6,75% to be dodged or parried)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOSE
T10 4 SET BONUS = When you activate Blood Tap, you gain 12% damage reduction from all attacks for 10 sec. Castable every 50 sec if u include duration.
0,52% HIT
It would help put my mind at ease if I can just get some tips/recommendations as where to go with my gearing atm.
Have a great weekend guys!
