Heirloom Q

[Earthbound]

Hey all,

Just wondering, I'm using 569 Kor'kron Hand Cannon, but if (when) I get the 569 Garrosh heirloom, will it be better for my Survival spec? I know it'll obviously be better for BM but it has no crit. It does have that extra socket, though, and I know we're all about dat Agi.

yes, agil > everything

2335+160+60 = 2555

Hellscream's Warbow
Item Level 569
+2255 Agility

Red Socket
Red Socket
Socket Bonus: +120 Agility

2255+160+160+120 = 2695

Is 140 extra agi worth losing that much crit which is balanced by some extra mastery and inferior haste?

Yes, secondary stat values are extremely close to each other for all hunter specs. A raw gain in amount of stats is a lot more important

haste is good for survival just not as good as crit, you can reforge all that shitty mastery to crit. 140 agility is worth it no debate. /thread

agility is king, unless you're wasting like 3x stats to hit or something.

I may add "When in doubt, go for the heirloom".
