When to move from 7.5 to 8 or 8.5

[Darkonte]

So ive read that they will nerf the 4T7.5 but dont know how hard will this nerf be. Can any1 pls enlight us about it?

Second i got Yday the Tier8 Shoulders but if i use them i will loose the 4T7.5, beside that they arent that good since i dont like haste over crit that the 7.5 have ...

Any coments?

for unholy 7.5 will be king intill next patch, prior to the patch if you add all the things up on paper 7.5 only has a small lead 8.5 but with the nerf to 7.5 and the buff to 8.5 the ladder will win out on dps. for blood we will prolly only do 2pc tier 8 and then fill in with off peices ArP becuase the 4pc is kinda lame for us only affecting 1 strike

Sorry didnt said im DPS frost 1disease.

As far as i know its a 5 extra rp instead of 10 on next patch the 4 tier7/7.5 right ? and from 5 to 8% extra on the Tie8/8.5.

its hard to say if frost will want 8 because you don't need 8% crit on FS because you usually get KM's on FS so crit isn't as important to frost from the 2pc bonus where as atleast for blood you use DC alot via SD and Rp Dump in your rotations sorry i don't have a answers for frost i would look at the stat increasing you would get and judge from that because the 4pc bonus helps your BS and OB so its still and pretty big bonus to those strikes but the 2pc is pretty bad for frost.

im frost spec and i lost my t7.5 4 bonus and now i am useing 2 t8.5 and to be honset with u i have not noticed a lose in dps. i did notice that i am short one FS per rotation due to the loss but im still around the same in dps on the meters.

Aha ... so screw tier8 and go straight to tier 8.5, but the funny thing is that u get the same dps, fail Blzrd!
