This neck is a very good neck and very easy to obtain as Thorim HM as super easy, and not a lot of competition in 10 mans. This neck also has some juicy stats. however, if you need hit, fiery havoc is the way to go.

These shoulders are low competition and have some juiced stats on them. tier would also make a good replacement to, if you feel that you want to create the 4 set.

These boots are our BiS as they are just better Maly boots that we got in the last phase and give us a crit amount and sockets. These are contested and I suggest the crafted boots to match the haste from oracle as well, they are straightforward to obtain. this allows you, to make a clean easy swap as the haste numbers are almost the same.

Both of these rings are very contested but, are insanely good. To pass up on these rings would be very foolish. there are many other rings that drop and I would suggest swimming them and checking as there are many good rings you can put in place of the BiS rings.

Head = 64 Hit
Back = 46 Hit
Weapon = 44 Hit
OH = 58 Hit
Legs = 63 Hit

Ends up at 275 Hit Rating, or 10.48%
Imp. FF/Misery give 3%, putting you at 13.48%
Balance of Power gives 4%, putting you at 17.48%, 0.48% over the hit cap.

The Phase 2 set is absolutely fine on Hit.

Hey there, I’m curious why Damnation is better than Torch of Holy Fire + Matriarch’s Spawn? Swapping those weapons puts Haste at 574 with significantly more SP.

Hi, the eightyupgrades link you have for the phase 1 BiS set is extremely misleading. You have six different professions slotted for upgrades in your gear. You have Engineering enchants, Ring Enchants, Inscription shoulders, Jewelcrafting specific gems, Leatherworking bracers enchant, and Tailoring enchants.

This is super misleading. It would be beneficial to pick the two BiS professions (Engineering and Tailoring) and remove all the other excess. Your set has almost 200 additional spellpower which is completely unobtainable. You also don’t have a gem in your belt which is obtainable by anyone through a belt buckle.

This is an extremely sloppy BiS list. It looks like very little thought or effort went into this.

I agree with this take! I enjoyed having them all. The professions page is great! It really broke it down, exactly what I was looking for. More info = better

But most good raid comp will only have a spellhance so you won’t get wrath of air totem, therefore I’m far from the 585 haste soft cap:
