The T10 Bloodmage Ro...I like the progression here. The T10 Bloodmage Robe is a very slight upgrade over Merlin's Robe, but it is still an upgrade, so that could (and probably should be the first use of emblems). Even though Rawr says the greatest use of emblems is on a belt upgrade, I think saving them for T10 is the way to go.<br /><br />Spending some cash on the crafted boots (Sandals of Consecration) is probably the correct next step as they are BIS behind the Plague Scientist's Boots (ilvl 277 - which means heroic 25 man ICC). Since our guild cannot run heroic 25 mans at this time, the Boots of the Mourning Widow are also out of the question.<br /><br />As for the second piece of T10, I'm still not certain that breaking 4PCT9 is worth it. If I equip the Bloodmage Robe in Rawr and run the optimizer, allowing it to pick the best upgrade for one emblem item, it chooses the shoulderpads and goes from a "score" of 7840 to 8000. So it seems quite clear that breaking 4pcT9 is worth it when you can get 2pcT10.<br /><br />So yes, I like your upgrade plan. Thanks for posting it, it will be very helpful for future planningBlakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419321845413197378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150232261958731603.post-56458628301349588122009-12-23T13:10:12.788-08:002009-12-23T13:10:12.788-08:00with the chest being weakest t9 piece, my rawr and...with the chest being weakest t9 piece, my rawr and gearwishlist has me getting t10 chest first [keeping 4 p t9 - head, shoulder, glove, leg] <br /><br />and then get the new badge belt [ossus not omission, we won't need hit with the 2 new rings: rep ring and labyrinth ring from morrowgar]. <br /><br />spend gold (not emblems) on primordial's for the crafted boots. then when you have enough emblems for 2 p t10, get shoulders or head (depending again on your hit vs haste situation) (new head is hit free i think).<br /><br />at this point you have 2 p t10 and (useless 3p t9), so spend gold (not emblems) on the primordials for the crafted legs. now you'll have 2 p t10 and 2 p t9. at this point i think we won't equip 3 p t10 until you have 4 p t10.<br /><br />then, depending on your hit still, you might have to spend more gold on the other boots.<br /><br />wall of text verbal vomit, sorry. what do you think of the plan?HokieJayBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973134636073808431noreply@blogger.com
