Bump for ToTC/T9 update. Feedback is very welcome.

Maybe not a bad idea to start documenting the changes, instead of just upgrading the gear list as necessary.

Changes:

• Wand: upgraded Plague Igniter to Brimstone Ignitor - added hit, plus the stats are better
  
• Ring: Upgraded Seized Beauty to Sinner's Confession - needed hit, have had this in the bank for a while
  
• Shoulders: switched from T7 to T9.25 Velen's Mantle of Triumph - seemed like the most logical piece of gear considering 4 set bonus for T8 is in place.
  
• Main hand: heceived Misery's End in ToTC - enchanted with Mighty Spellpower. Lost hit when replacing Haunting Call, this has been picked up by the wand and ring.
  

Saving up to buy Crusader's Orbs for the Bejeweled Wizard's Bracers and Merlin's Robe. Need 60 Emblem of Triumph to buy the orbs for the bracers and 120 to buy the orbs for the robe. Currently have 20.

Upgrades thanks to a totgc 10 man run:

• Rod of Imprisoned Souls replaces Brimstone Ignitor.


• Sandals of the Silver Magus replace Spellslinger's Slippers

... which sort my hit problems quite nicely.

Replaced Merlin's Robe with Meteor Chaser's Rainment.
Replaced Band of Guile with Ashen Band of Destruction - not sure why that ring was equipped, I had better.

So many updates that I'm overwhelmed as to which to choose.  As my raiding status is a bit iffy, I'm not quite sure which instances/levels to be focusing on, which just makes it more complicated.

Therefore am getting most obvious things from badges - plans are in my head and not on paper, which I should be changing.

Mostly updated.

Maybe this:

and this:

Will help.

Emblem of Frost calculations

Worked out from current point in time. I'm not thinking about the 95 EoF that have already been spent on the chest.

To be bought, in order of priority (highest first):
Gloves of False Gestures - 60 EoF
This would be replacing T9 (245) but as the set bonus is already broken, I'd rather have these replaced sooner than later for a stronger item in this slot. These are also 2nd best in slot, so the biggest upgrade.

5x Primordial Saronite for Sandals of Consecration - 5x23 = 115 EoF
Could definitely be replaced, as these are ToTGC10 boots. Not a bad item, but improvements are possible.

8x Primordial Saronite for Leggings of Woven Death - 8x23 = 184 EoF
Fairly low priority, considering the currently equipped (ICC10) legs. Could be that by the time I've got these badges, we're into ICC 25 heroic, which changes things a bit.

Total necessary badges: 359

... which shows that I hadn't realized how T10 pieces work. 95 and 60 badges, plus the tier token. Having now looked more deeply, I don't even want to think about frost emblems anymore.

The first upgrade via emblems, the hands, is definitely worth it. Think I'll get that done within another 1-2 weeks, then see what's what.

Thanks for the feedback, Jer - much appreciated.

While the Simcraft stuff was interesting in itself, I'm not quite sure how it would help with gear.

If you look at the scale factors and stat plot charts you can see what stats are good for you and which are great. This is based on your current gear and not some generic stat weighting. The plot is especially useful as it shows what stats you are better off losing as well as gaining. Hit, for example, is far from a straight line; as you would expect.

The stat weights from that simcraft run (of your gear/spec) are what was used for the lootrank page and as such has listed all the upgrade options for you and scored them. They don't include weirdass procs (such as tier set bonuses and so you have to factor them in yourself but it certainly gives a decent measure for each stat and a means of measuring across stats.

As a simple example, the biggest upgrades you can get are for head and trinket slots. In a balanced gear set that would normally be weapon so I guess your head item and one of your trinkets is not doing you any favours and would be worth prioritising if possible.
