    Question Gear Check: PvP 2 Piece for Starting Raids

    Pre-raid, the best PvE hands and legs I can get are Flamebloom Gloves and Breeches of Mended Nightmares. I also have the PvP Vicious Gladiator's Felwave Handguards and Trousers.

    With the 2-piece +70 Int PvP set bonus and reforging the PvE pieces to hit, I get the following trade-off by wearing the PvP pieces instead of the PvE ones:

    + 51 Stam
    + 105 Int
    + 9 hit

    for

    - 174 haste
    - 129 crit
    - 103 mastery

    So what is better? The 105 Intellect or that amount of secondary stats? I'm thinking either the PvP pieces are better, or the difference is so minute that I shouldn't waste my gold to buy/craft/bind Breeches of Mended Nightmares... but I'd love to get some opinions - thanks!

    Thanks for the advice! You make a really good point about the stat weighting. I went ahead and blew the 7 Dreamcloth to craft my breeches, if only to avoid having to explain again that the couple of PvP pieces aren't that bad when trying to get filled in to a raid. (Turns out the extra haste got me another tick on BoA, so that's a bonus I didn't consider either)
