Optimizing our gear ?

[Lauraliane]

With Kunark new items, it seems choosing our "best" gear has become more interesting than before. Instead of just throwing +Int and a few regen power here and there we now have a lot of items with +Spell dmg, +Spell Haste and +Spell Recovery.Since I started playing in Kunark I have upgrade a lot of my items and even a few slot more than once, and often I was asking myself : "hmm What is the best between those 2" and it wasn't as easier as before to decide.So, in order to better optimize our gear I would like to see where we should head in terms of "cap", let's see what we have in resume.Power Regen cap from items : Level * 0.75 = 60 at level 80+Spell Dmg cap : 50% of actual spell dmg, so basically a 1000 dmg spell, will cap at +500. In order to optimize that one, it would be nice to see what is the "most" efficient +spell dmg for us wizard. I didn't take the time myself yet, but I would assume it should be around +1500 or so. If someone is bored and want to calculate it go ahead <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />+Spell Haste : Is there an hard cap ? I think yes, but I can't remember it.+Spell Recovery : Same as above.Int cap : Level *7.5 for soft cap I think, level * 15 for hard cap ? Not sure, if someone can comfirm, please.Anyway, let's start putting a bit of data together in order to shine <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

As far as + spell dmg. I've figured out something I'll be doing. I'm basing it off BoM. I'm a raider and BoM is my bread and butter. 2nd to none. Its about 15-17% of my ZW dps which is exactly the same as BoI. If I were to scale my + spell dmg to BoI thats a lot of spell dmg getting wasted for2 spells ( Fission, BoI ). Where as if I scale to BoM its only slightly over the rest of my spells and my best spell is still taken care of. Thus I like you am also aiming for +1500 Spell dmg. As far as the int cap goes, I believe its about 1000 now, soft cap that is. Then I'm hoping for 55% spell crits after which I would like to focus purely on recast timers. Really want BoM down to about 5 seconds recast =P Why only 55% crit? Well, seems like the higher your crit rate goes up the less and less 1% of crit really means.  I'd still be 67% raid buffed and thats just dandee with me. I'd rather start seeing some things start refreshing faster =D
