Boomkin T10 4 piece bonus vs 80-85 leveling.

[Distoration]

Was wondering is it worth it to keep 4 piece bonus or even 2 piece bonus. And if yes until what level

[Garnik]

Even though I haven't read anything about, I can with alot of confidence say: No!

Because, if you have the T10 4 piece bonus must mean you're somwhat ICC geared, which means you're going to kill stuff fast, so the dot will never get the chance to run its full duration.

Regarding wheter or not the increased stats on the questing gear is an upgrade, I can't help with that.

Seeing as the 4-set won't have any real effect (for one your crit will go down the gutter *sadface*) you might just pick up whatever is an upgrade in stats really, stamina will get a huge boost even b4 crit/haste/mastery/hit/int will wheigh over. And stamina ain't all that bad when you're levling

I myself will NOT move away from 2p bonus until I can replace it with 346 gear, Omen of clarity proccs so much that I atleast FEEL like it's worth a whole lot.

You might want to pick up gear with higher iLVL though so that you can queue for dungeons and later heroics.

They're both weak for leveling. Feel free to replace by the first pieces with better stats you find.

Well, the thing is, when you are just starting out in Hyjal or Vashj'ir, and if you are in tier 10 gear, you will kill stuff incredibly fast. However, none of the items that you find as drops will be worth swapping out, so your tier pieces will still be stronger.

And by the time you start swapping out items (late zone or possibly Deepholm), you will actually have to start nuking mobs again, where the bonus might actually be worth.

See, I ended Wrath with the very best-in-slot set a moonkin could have. My first two levels was just dotting up everything. But in these two levels, my crit has dropped by a staggering 20%, and my haste with about 10%! So while I probably wont swap any items out until I reach Deepholm, the tier items are still better, and those of us who ended Wrath in awesome gear are actually going *down* in damage - our gear stays the same, so does our ratings, and that means that our percentages go down.

To be fair, you will want to swap out items when they either have a substancial increase in intellect, or equal intellect and the same stats. Theres no point putting on a green. By then, it is time to say goodbye to tier 10, but while the bonuses aren't going to give you a kick, the general stats will.

Ofcourse, if you are running around with 251 tier 10, you will find replacements soon enough
