Help Please (T9 selection)

[Shadowshotie]

Okay. I'm a MM Armor Penetration Hunter with a Armor Penetration Rating at 534 (43.46%) and I cant clearly make up my mind of which 2 T9 pieces to pick. I have a Trophy of the Crusade so i wanna pick a standard T9 and a piece of the T9 at the next step with the Trophy. Please view my Armory link and tell me what you think..

PS: I do have Spire of Withering Dreams if in the need of Haste from the selection.
Just say if you need more info of any sort.

So, my point was if you buy the Shoulders with your badges first, that may be the best value as they are still technically BiS, whereas if you purchase the tier gear, even with the Trophy, you will most likely be replacing it once you get token drops from Heroic Mode.

Thank you for creating this list.

While I do think this list is pretty accurate, I'm sure it is subject to change.

In my opinion, you should buy whatever you feel is the biggest upgrade for you. Not everyone is going to be able to get all this heroic gear without a high end guild, assuming that Heroic 25 man ToC is going to be tough.

[Mudkiper]

Don't waste emblems on standard t9.... wait till you have two trophy's if you want to keep bonus's up.

[Kalti]

Not everyone is going to be able to get all this heroic gear without a high end guild, assuming that Heroic 25 man ToC is going to be tough.

Indeed, however changing all the Heroic tiered pieces to their Trophy-bought counterparts is still higher theoretical DPS than any off-set gear availiable from the non-heroic instance.

That is the simplicity which Blizzard have cursed us with in this patch; the only difference between non-heroic BiS and Heroic BiS is the '(Heroic)' bit at the end, there's not much choice really.

Also to note, which I should have mentioned before is that from this gear list you will be at 564 ArP without gemming for ArP, hence the Agi or Agi/Crit gemming pattern.

I see what you mean.

In that case, follow the guide and all the heroic pieces should be easily attainable through the normal version 25 man, just with a lower item level and lower stats etc.

[Callsign Grunge]

The first one you should buy is the legs, they are imbaaa.

2nd get gloves. if u dont get hitcapped just take a point in focused aim (we have 3 "wasted" points as mm, some ppl put in hunters mark, some arcane, some efficeny..)

I'm not gonna go into the "wasted" comment...

But the legs are quite amazing.

[Callsign Grunge]

Well don't, but thats what the cookiecutter MM specc have. 3 points in arcane shot.

Yeah but they're not "Wasted" points, they contribute toward DPS. You can put them into other talents depending which gear makeup you have.

If we gem all the slots with ArP, it would be around 70% passive ArP. Would this be good?
