Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
Best way to farm Tusks of Mannoroth?

Depends on the class and how much resil you already have, if a rogue then only get one as 180ish resil lost is pretty bad, and they give crit so only go with one.

i switched from a 359 pvp weapon for pvp to my 391 pve weapon. lost about 200 resil dropping me under 4k resil
the difference is noticeable but its kind of made up for by the fact that i blow stuff up that much faster.

+19 ilvl is massive! Doesn't matter what class you play go with the 378 pve weapon, don't let people tell you that 100-200 resi is better than +19 ilvl upgrade.

Healers always get resilience. Including gems and enchants.
As a DPS it's personal preference. If you have 3.6k+ resilience you are fine and I'd use 378. Anything under use the 359.

If Melee, go PvE
If caster/healer, go PvP
Not sure about Feral. If they use it as a stat stick, go PvP. If not, PvE.

Since cata ferals use weapon DPS are their main stat for attacks, so ferals always want the weapon with the best itemlevel no matter the stats (as long as it's an agility weapon of course). Originally Posted by Larynx

I use the Funeral Pyre staff from Beth'Ilac on my lock, it beats the Vicious Glad Spellblade+offhand by far in Int/SP so Im sticking with it. Got enough resi from the other gear.

A frost mage can go for the PvE weapon as well, although a PvE trinket is probably a better option.

You should go for PvE doesn't matter if you're caster or melee, for melee it's huge benefit but for caster not so big but still usefull. I don't see why people say you need resilence you can't lose that much, are you all forgetting that you can gem resilenece? Higher item level has better stats so intellect you lose by changing gems to resilience is back through your 378 weapon since 359 obviusly has lower stats.
Shorted: Pve item has higher item level you don't lose anything just gain by gemming resil gems and taking 378 weapon.
