I’m moving slowly in this tier of the expansion. We’re still only 1/7 in Firelands. I can’t bring myself to run heroics over and over. As a result, my flow of Valor Points is slow as molasses.
I finally broke 2200 this week, so I can buy any piece of VP gear. I’m debating between getting either the Dark Phoneix Tunic or the combination of the Morningstar Shard and the Necklace of Smoke Signals.
The combination of neck and thrown upgrades is a larger theoretical dps boost than the T12 chest alone. However, if I spend my VP on those, then it will take forever to get enough points for a T12 piece.
In past expansions, this is always the direction I have gone. As a result, I have never had a 4-piece bonus of a tier set. Maybe this time I should go with the tier piece, just so I am one step toward the set.
Decisions, decisions…
Do you already have the Hands and Legs?
I have no tier pieces at all yet
Wish I could offer a suggestion but I quit playing last week. I had played the same toon (my rogue) since launch and he was the only toon I ever max leveled. I just couldn’t bare to log in anymore, the grind finally got to me.
You know, with Mogging coming in 4.3, if you like the Firelands tier look, like I do, it will become retro at some point. Might want to save it to use as a skin later on. Also, the 4-piece bonus is pretty fun. I like stuff like that.
