Upgrading chest on resto what to socket

Post by etrin

I think I know but I want to ask which one
right now I only have 333 regen

changing from
Revenant's Breastplate http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43461
to
Carapace of Grim Visions http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47178

what should I socket the carapace with?

Haste and regen if you're having mp5 issues.
Or spellpower and regen if you are good on haste.

Above post sense makes no...

Since you have regen issues, int and mp5. Once you have little need for MP5 gem pure int, and once you can ditch that int, gem haste.

If you have regen issues then Int and mp5 in that socket.

The 10 int you'd lose is worth less in a 5 minute fight (the most optimum length for intellect) than the mp5 you'd gain. Therefore for regen that socket bonus is worth it.

so a 10int/10 mp5 gem I had one in the bank
(still don't know where I got it) and put it in that socket for now.

I think the thing that bothered me was loosing 22 int and gaining 26 mp5 was it enough of a gain?
But once I put in a + int/mp5 gem then (to me) it makes the Carapace better.
overall +38 mp5 but -10 int. OK?

Don't bother putting expensive stuff in it and just keep the old chest. The difference is totally minor anyway. Farm EoC and get the ilvl226 set chest piece and then you can think about putting expensive gems in.

The epic gems are 10 badges each. They're cheaper than any top level gem has ever been.
