    Lockjaw gains 11 int, 59 haste rating and 29 mp5. Trauma gains 95SP and a chance on heal... heal.

    Trauma is the better throughput weapon for sure.

    Even with how heavily we emphasize haste, I'd call 95 spellpower a wash versus 11 int, 59 haste, and 29 mp5. THEN Trauma has the proc.

    Trauma is definitely the better weapon for us.

    No, I'm not the real Alamo, just a guy who liked his work.

    Keep in mind that LKs drops isn't out yet either and they have said that his loots is going to be like KT with higher Ilvl the the rest of raid instance and that he is going to have alot of weapons rather then armor.

    Trauma is a very, very nice weapon. I would say it's BiS, but then again it's all speculation so far.

    I'm pretty sure that blizzard stated they didn't want the final bosses to drop a higher lvl gear anymore.. yes he will drop some goodies and bis items but higher ilvl is not likely to happen.. maybe his heroic mode will drop higher ilvls then the other icc bosses heroic modes but that will be it

    just gonna throw it out there, that if he was in a position to get val'anyr he probably wouldn't even be asking.

    if he wasn't in a position to get valanyr, he wouldn't be linking the heroic versions of these items?

    but yeah, valanyr is still BiS

    trauma is nice, but the proc doesn't scale, while valanyr proc does

    Keep in mind that at most youre only losing 31-41 haste considering that you throw a 20 haste gem in trauma. Unless they break the socket bonus which hurts the intended itemization of Lockjaw. I currently have no mana issues, so I would rather have trauma with a slight haste loss than miss out on that absolutely amazing proc and gain sub par stats for it.

    I would have to say it's all speculation atm because neither are available. At best you could say Future BiS, if you knew what LK is going to drop and he had nothing better. You still have a month or so before you should even bother worrying about it.
