Help me understand gear and how to use my Frost emblems please
I am new to WoW, I did create this account back in 2014 but back then I got a boost to 80 into a class I didn't like and i never got into the game.
Now I started like less than a year ago on Frostmourne and I love it but I still don't understand how to approach some things, gear especially.
I have a specific personality as a person, I really like to optimize things and don't like to waste anything, if I get the feeling that I wasted something it ruins the enjoyment for me.
That being said, I have looked up what the perfect (I think it is called BiS) gear is for my character, like the gear that you can't have anything better than that.
I play tank paladin and I have collected enough emblems to buy the shoulders and the chest and I got them since i saw that the upgraded versions of that are best.
Now here comes my confusion, what do I do with the next emblems I collect?
Because for example, hands and legs are best gear from that set when upgraded but they can drop in VoA, so I feel buying them with emblems would be a waste of Frost Emblems, also, the Head slot, I saw recommended is for example "Broken ram skull helm" as best instead of the set piece "Lightsworn Faceguard" So i kinda feel that buying the Faceguard would be a waste.
I understand that the whole game is based on getting gear and upgrading or changing it, but I don't feel too bad changing gear I got for gold since you can get gold pretty easy, but getting emblems takes a long time and because of that I want to avoid wasting them.
What can I do with my frost emblems since I already have the shoulders and chest?
Any other item I see that I could buy and that would currently be an upgrade (back or waist for frost emblems for example) isn't best gear in game and I feel that it would be a waste in the long run when i change it?
Am I looking at it incorrectly?
Someone who plays and understands the game for longer pls help me get a perspective on it.
Should I just save the emblems and go do raids for the gear?
Or do I buy the items even if i will not use them in the end?
What is the best approach?
