![]() None of the three sub-bosses that are located within the zone offer up much in the way of difficulty nor are their mechanics that complex honestly, the trash is more difficult than the sub-bosses themselves in this place. You'll want this trinket - but so will every other caster in the raid.Ĭlearing to Halion himself - yes, Halion is male - isn't all that difficult. ![]() It's basically another version of the Dislodged Foreign Object out of ICC, yet slightly upgraded with a better proc overall. If you can get this cloak, than do so, but if you already have FSC, then I wouldn't be too gung-ho about getting it.Ĭharred Twilight Scale Even though haste is a bane of our existence, this is still the best trinket that you can get at this stage of the game. ![]() Technically, the cloth bracers are better itemized and have a better gem slot than the leather bracers, making them the stronger choice however, given that a raid will have far more cloth wearers aiming for those, and eventually we'll be getting a mastery bonus for wearing all leather, there really isn't a reason to not stick with the Phaseshifter's in this case.Ĭloak of Burning Dusk It's pretty much a replica of the Frostbinder's Shredded Cape out of ICC, but the higher ilevel attached to it makes it a better choice. You see, there are a pair of cloth bracers that are almost identical which drop in 25 as well almost identical. Phaseshifter's Bracers Ahh, the eternal question: to leather, or not to leather? In the case for these bracers, which are beyond amazing, the reason why balance druids constantly ask this question is rather clear. If you can make use of the hit, then go ahead and grab it, the ring isn't bad at face value, but there are much better options out there. Saviana's Tribute This is a decent ring if you happen to find yourself lacking in the hit department, but chances are that you aren't considering, as I mentioned before, there's an overload of hit on all ICC 10-man gear. If you're a more fresh 80 or merely an alt, then this can be a great item to snag, but for a vast majority of players, picking up the Emblem of Frost belt is the better choice. Misbegotten Belt I'm only mentioning this because it happens to drop in the instance and you can use it as a balance druid however I really wouldn't suggest it. Particularly for 10-man loot, a lot of stuff on it has hit these days, so it may be rather difficult to find yourself a full set of gear that doesn't put you skyrocketing over the hit cap if you are in a 10-man exclusive guild, which makes these gloves perfect. The reality is, if these are an upgrade for you and you can get hit from another slot of equitable ilevel, then chances are you'll want these gloves. Sadly for balance druids, the Tier 10 gloves that do have hit on them are generally going to be a part of your BiS list, but that's the funny thing about BiS lists, you really don't have to pay much attention to that note. It's like a July Christmas wish or something. To start us off, we'll take a quick look at the shiny loots, since that's what everyone really wants, and then we'll look into a brief little guide on how to slay the giant purple/pink dragon at the end.Ĭhangling Gloves There are a rather decent pair of gloves that you can pick up which, surprisingly, don't have hit or spirit on them. RS is a nice little cooldown raid it's light, fun and refreshing like a cool glass of lemonade. It doesn't hold the same sense of urgency, the same notion that you're going to be stuck in here for hours upon hours, days upon days (even though many guilds, particularly those working on hard mode, will be) that I get from going into ICC. Although I've seen mixed reviews of the instance from others, I at least think the instance is a nice little dash of refreshing. In light of that, if there's anything specific that you'd like to see covered, shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do for you.įocusing on the here and now, which is actually what this article is about, I'd like to quickly go over the more recent raiding addition Ruby Sanctum. Perhaps silly is the wrong word, after all that's never been something to stop me before, so let's just consider this to be an isolated case - promises that next week will be a real Cataclysm discussion. Mostly because I'm slightly frothy at the mouth, which I've been told isn't a good health sign, but more so due to the fact that so much is in the process of being changed right now that going into an in-depth discussion on a topic that's likely to have every scrap completely altered tomorrow is silly. I want to take a spot of a breather from Cataclysm information just for this week. This week we are sipping some iced tea, sittin' on our porch swings, enjoying a nice sundae cone and talking about that time we slew the giant, rampaging, pink dragon. Every Friday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting balance druids and those who group with them.
