    T10 4 set bonus

    Is it worth it? At the moment I'm using the ifirus sack of wonder as the set breaker because I need the expertise.
    Still, I've looked at some of the drops in ICC25. The helm from blood princes http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50042 and the legs http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50042

    This way I can keep the 2 set bonus, but I drop the 4 set for better items since I dont see the 4 set bonus so great as the proc is fairly rare.

    Whats your opinion?

    Gz on newly earned kingslayer!

    Spreadsheet gives you the best answer, but for me going that combo (2 set with said head and legs) gives more dps than fully upgraded 264 ilvl 4p t10.

    I stopped raiding though, guild sucked transfered away and haven't cared to join a new one In other words, my gear is of lower tier than yours, so dps numbers might change.

    As mutilate i prefer just the 2 set with 3 offset pieces as you wont always benefit from the 4 piece proc as it could cause energy capping/envenom buff overlapping which would just lower the value of it. Id rather just have the static stats than a buff that may or may not benefit me when it goes off.

    However as combat its 4 piece all the way!

    4pc-T10 Sanctified is slightly better by spreadsheets.

    However, the difference in dps (~0.2%) with 2pc + offpieces is so little that it's almost irrelevent.

    I have the luxury of having both options available to me, and personally i'm sticking to 4pc as it makes 100% uptime on envenom easier. Sure I'm clipping envenom to avoid energy pooling, but envenom rarely drops at all.

    Also, when 3.3.3 hits, it may become useful to spec into Blood Spatter and drop a 4pt Rupture when 4pc procs. Actual benefits are still being evaluated.

    If you're going to run 2pc + offsets, T10Gloves/Legs + Geistlord + Ikfirus + Cultist's is the BIS setup.

    Not true about combat wanting 4 piece T10. It's still better for combat to just use 2 piece t10 and get 3 offset for the other slots. 4 Piece bonus sucks

    4pc is BIS for combat, though by a similarly small margin as it is for mutilate.

    Maybe if you have access to heroic mode tier pieces, but with 264 ilvl t10 my spreadsheet does not put 4 piece t10 higher then 2 piece with my offset gear.

    That setup actually shows me as 120dps lower then if I used T10 Gloves/Shoulders + Geistlord + Ikfirus + Gangrenous.

    Edit: Sorry forgot to switch to Band of Bone collosus so it had me way over expertise capped. It still shows as a 28dps loss though.

    The heroic pieces pull ahead of offset items for combat. Barely, but they pull ahead. My combat sheet shows 4p T10 heroic+Heroic ald's gloves as offset being bis.
