Hello.
Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal and Bloodtinged Gloves were always 2 damage better than R10 shoulders and R7 boots with BIS gear, so suck it. Laugh at me for still not having either pair though.
Putting out the AQ40 BIS list early is useful for people to prioritize gear choices. Although I don't think many raiders look at this page for their personal use.
I'm looking at this setup:
Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer
Amulet of Vek'nilash
R10 Shoulders
Cloak of the Devoured
Enigma Robes~= Robes of the Archmage
Rockfury Bracers
Dark Storm Gauntlets
Eyestalk Waist Cord
Leggings of the Festering Swarm>Leggings of the Black Blizzard (about 2-3sp probably)
R7 Boots
Ritssyn's Ring of Chaos
Ring of the Fallen God
Trinket 1 should depend on the fight
Neltharion's Tear
Sharpened Silithid Femur
Royal Scepter of Vek'lor
21 fire wand/Freezing Shard for viscidus
From what I can tell mages shouldn't need to bother with the Circlet off Twin Emps. Locks should get that, and mages get Mish'undare.
