The egg is great as well, however if I had my choice, I would have the MDF and the Illustration of the Dragon Soul (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40432). Although I just specced back to feral so I guess that point is mute for me at the moment. Still if I had a shot at it that's what I'd go with! =)Pixielatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16037663875145533732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-5527098374009976872009-04-07T12:05:00.000-07:002009-04-07T12:05:00.000-07:00I just wanted to toss out a comment on Je'Tze's Be...I just wanted to toss out a comment on Je'Tze's Bell. One thing that's very interesting for the 3.1 patch is that the regen granted by it is added to your base regen values (so both your OOC and IC regen go up by 100). If this affects Innervate, it could be a viable alternative. I got one about a month ago, and I love it, the constant spellpower is very nice and the proc is up quite often.<BR/><BR/>The other thing to note is that for MDF, if you have the Living Spirit talent, you end up getting 207 spirit from a full stack, not 180.<BR/><BR/>I've been experimenting with my trinkets in preparation for 3.1, and I'd really recommend the Bell if you can get it. It's a solid trinket. MDF would also get my vote over DMC:BD or the Egg.Leirynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994832454662943269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-2676247327460664622009-04-07T11:10:00.000-07:002009-04-07T11:10:00.000-07:00@Anon: Wow, another great point that completely sl...@Anon: Wow, another great point that completely slipped by me. You're right, out of combat mana regen will be nerfed in half come 3.1 - which means that the mana you get back will be minimal at best.<BR/><BR/>I'll edit the post to reflect this.

That was the main crux of my argument - saying that even though the raw mana back is better with BD, the uncertainty of the proc rate isn't worth it. I have written here in my scribble notes (yeah, I take notes on paper, the old fashioned way ^^) "mana vs. time - compare" and then "proc rate?". I just completely forgot to write in a paragraph about that. <BR/><BR/>Adding it in now =)Avernahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745045119122468517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-50961329145187619032009-04-06T22:13:00.000-07:002009-04-06T22:13:00.000-07:00Av, maybe I'm missing something, but going by the ...Av, maybe I'm missing something, but going by the numbers you posted, BD is MUCH better. 1650 mana every 1.25 min (75 seconds) is equivalent to 110 mp5, over twice the MDF. Of course, this will change significantly when the mana regen mechanics are adjusted for 3.1, and the low proc chance makes it very prone to statistical variation, so it may never proc during short fights (but in short fights, you don't need the mana regen, do you?) I wouldn't dismiss it out-of-hand.Alaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526148680915862856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-74080011992916005262009-04-06T18:12:00.000-07:002009-04-06T18:12:00.000-07:00Thank you for that post Averna!

Either stack it early, and then regen back to 100% before the boss pull, or stack the trinket, and the sit and drink as the boss is being pulled. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I stack a full set of HoTs on the MT before the pull anyways and sit and drink before entering combat.Smartteaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457931230285404678noreply@blogger.com
