Dont know what T4 Gloves to get

Post by Wingsolid

Ok so I got my T4 glove token yesterday, and I'm undecided on what set to get. Right now I'm resto, but I want to respec balance. Currently my resto gloves are "Gloves of Saintly Blessings" and I got 2 Royal Nightseyes in there. And then for my balance gloves I have "Handwraps of Flowing Thoughts" and I have 2 Glowing Nightseyes in there, and those are better then the t4 damage and healing ones, the t4 ones just give spell crit, and I really dont know which set to get. I dont wanna get the feral ones cause I'm prolly not gonna go feral anytime, I like balance more. Any suggestions on what to do here.

get at least two t4 pieces if you're planning to go balance.
the set bonus procs pretty often and with a shadow priest + mana restoring meta gem, you should have a hell of an easier time keeping your mana up

as for the gloves....
balance imo

So your saying the t4 balance gloves are better then the ones I would use for balance, even though they give more stats like more damage, but the t4 gloves give the spell crit?.

as a balance druid your #1 stat would be +spell hit
assuming you are specced properly you should have 4% hit from talents

vs lv73 raid bosses you have a default 17% chance to miss, this percentage cannot go lower than 1%, so you have 16% of spell hit to cover. since you gain 4% from talents, you must get +12% spell hit from items to reach the cap.

spell hit is the most important stat because...
- resisted spells are wasted mana
- resisted spells are wasted cast time
a huge loss in dps every time one of your spells gets resisted, especially if its a starfire.

so...these are the stats that you should be looking for, in order of importance imo:
1. spell hit (until you hit 12%)
2. spell damage
3. intellect (intellect gives you +spell and +mp/5 from talents)
4. spell crit (you don't really have to actually focus on this stat, it just comes with better gear)
5. spirit/stamina (if you find that you're innervating yourself a lot, grab some spirit to increase that regen. it also increases your mp/5 if you have the intensity talent)

i can list a bunch of items that i recommend, but it really doesn't help
it's up to you to raid with your druid and decide what stats you prefer and what stats you dont
as for the t4 gloves...as long as you get two pieces of t4, anywhere, just to have the set bonus, it helps a lot. i recommend getting the windhawk armor if you are a leatherworker too (windhawk is to balance druids as spellfire is to fire mages).
if you do have/can get the windhawk armor, then i recommend getting t4 helm, gloves, and shoulders. stick a mana restoring meta gem in the helm and you should not be an oomkin

Okay thanks for the information. One thing I forgot to add was that I do have the t4 helm(crown of malorne-resto one) so If I were to get the balance gloves(gloves of malorne) would I still get the 2piece set bonus? probabaly no but I wasnt sure and wanted to ask. And I'm not a leatherworker, I do have skinning though, and alchemy cause I didnt know If I was gonna level the druid, so I took herbalism on my lock, and yea..
