However, as much as we'd like to stack agility on our gear, our highest stat will almost always be Stamina, and the trinket mechanic is that it procs whichever stat is highest. Still good, and probably still the best, but not the uber agility trinket it looks like on the surface.Jeremy Rowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660454328756283459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-21915693027826878072008-12-11T16:59:00.000-08:002008-12-11T16:59:00.000-08:00What do you recommend for a yellow gem slot where ...<I>What do you recommend for a yellow gem slot where you want to hit the color correctly?</I> <BR/><BR/>Hey, Beable - I should really put up an optimal gem list. Yellows are still annoying, but they're a bit less horrible than they were. If you want stam or aren't too picky, go with Enduring gems - defense isn't stellar but it's still not bad. If you don't want that, go with <A HREF="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40044" REL="nofollow">Glinting</A> or <A HREF="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40056" REL="nofollow">Stalwart</A>, though the latter doesn't appear to be in the game yet.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-65022054893708058132008-12-10T13:45:00.000-08:002008-12-10T13:45:00.000-08:00Beable : It’s not that gemming for stam is wrong, ...Beable : It’s not that gemming for stam is wrong, it really depends on what your dodge and health is. Gems are useful because you can choose them, if you are low on health get stam, if you are low on dodge get agi, if your fine on both either get agi+stam or whichever you prefer. Personally if my health and dodge are fine I will always go with agi until my dodge reaches 50%, then defense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-23005814058852357072008-12-09T13:51:00.000-08:002008-12-09T13:51:00.000-08:00What do you recommend for a yellow gem slot where ...What do you recommend for a yellow gem slot where you want to hit the color correctly?<BR/><BR/>Trying to figure out how to gem my T7 chest bought from badges.

There really should be a sliding scale for stamina based on current health.<BR/><BR/>Rawr is a great idea but their weights for stamina can be a bit ridiculous. They have the stats available to do a sliding scale so hopefully it will change in the future.<BR/><BR/>Healing/Tanking comes in two main varieties:<BR/><BR/>1) Steady damage<BR/>2) Spikey damage<BR/><BR/>On steady damage fights, you need enough health to give the healers about 5 or 6 seconds leeway in case something happens and they can't heal. So if you're taking 5k a second, 30k health should be plenty.<BR/><BR/>Spikey damage is where health is needed. On fights like this, more healers are assigned to the tanks so you only have to survive about 3 or 4 seconds. The spikeyness usually comes from one particular nasty attack and a few normal attacks. Figure out the most damage you can receive in 4 seconds and you should be good to go.<BR/><BR/>For figuring this out, you'll only want to consider armor and stamina. Dodge is critical for lessening a healer's burden over the length of a fight but can't be counted on during a few second time frame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-30710771928537745172008-12-03T14:49:00.000-08:002008-12-03T14:49:00.000-08:00Woodelf - thanks for coming by.

The trinkets do not follow the ranking simply because I did not have time to weight out what the proc/on use/values are, so I subjectively ranked them according to what I think is best. As I said, you'll want different trinkets for different things anyway. <BR/><BR/>Copey - yeah, the Nobles deck is going to be really, really expensive. I'm still dreading it. I'm an herbalist, so I think I'll just be feeding herbs to my inscriptionist in the hopes of getting the cards.<BR/><BR/>Druidus - the weights for each system (pre and post 3.0.4) are linked in the header of each section. <BR/><BR/>Hoofnmouth - thanks! And yeah, pre 3.0.4 Cloak of Tormented skies edges out durable nerubhide cloak. While the latter has tons of avoidance, you just can't beat 2000 armor. It still should be okay later on, but you'll want to replace it.<BR/><BR/>Amf, anon, thanks for coming by and the kind words. :)Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-52072652873337298102008-12-03T11:44:00.000-08:002008-12-03T11:44:00.000-08:00very helpful post ty so much!!!!oh and awesome ana...very helpful post ty so much!!!!<BR/><BR/>oh and awesome analyis of mitigation/threat/stamina stats, and what's important.

It requires 2 eternal life + 5-7 stacks of Lichbloom/Adder's Tongue to get the materials to make 1 card. You can craft the same card over and over, so it's pseudo-random as to when you can craft the whole deck.
