Quick question: I have just about enough VP for the gutripper shard and I already have Quick lightstone (+50 haste) in the bank. I also am pretty flush w/ gold atm if that matters. Based on my current stats do you think I'd be ok socketing the lightstone in the relic or ponying-up the gold for a +40 or +50 strength gem as the guttripper shard is apparently a BIS item? TY for any help.
for any dps you should stick pure str, int or agil in prismatic and reds slots and any blue and yellow ones with !@#$t bonuses
Int. and agil? Are you kidding? Perhaps I'm not understanding your response as intended.
He means that for any Intellect user, you always want to gem for int, Agility users always gem for agi and Strength users, like us DKs, always gem for strength. There is no situation where any other stat can be better than strength for a PVE DPS DK, so a +40 Strength gem would be better than a +50 Haste gem.
The rule of thumb I go off of is 1 strength=2 favourable secondary stats, if that helps you at all.
It's a prismatic slot.. sink the highest str gem you can it(specially since it is a piece of gear you will never replace). If your Talking about the Relic.
Ok, strength it is...and thanks for the clarification Spud.
class does not matter, all dps increased attack power or spell power is better than equal amount of secondary stats. so the answer to this question for ANY classes is str, int or agil
so the answer right now is 40 str > 50 haste, if you make a mage in the future the answer will be 40 int > 50 haste, and should you ever make a rogue 40 agil > 50 haste
TY Abaddon, sorry for thinking you were spouting crazy :).
40/50 str over 40/50 haste. now if there is a +20 str or greater bonus with a yellow socket, throw an orange gem in there. Like on your boots or the legs.
Strength > 8% Melee Hit > Expertise (26) > Haste > Mastery > Crit
