I'm sitting here, looking at the two handed staff from the Jinisk faction merchant in Kunzar jungle....and I think to myself: "at this point how much longer should  I worry about a dmg proc over these superior items?".So that is the issue, at level 80, with maxed faction with every faction in RoK (save the Dwarves in Jarsath), how much longer should I hold on to stuff like the Griz wand, and the Mystical orb earring (both proc 500ish dmg on a hostile spell, can't recall the chance to occur).With so many items with superior INT, +spell dmg, + crit, etc, is it really worth holding on to an inferior item just for the proc?A good example is the belt you can buy off the Sel'Nok brigade faction merch, it has sorcerous alac2 (2% cast speed reduction on all hostile spells) and +85 spell dmg and I believe 36 INT, compare this to the bone clasped girdle, which has 20 INT, no spell dmg, but has it's 10% chance to proc 321-561 ish dmg.I really need an idea of where to draw the line and let go of these dmg proc items, and start worrying about + spell dmg and + crit. But if these procs really do make up a portion of the parse that + to spell dmg won't exceed then I guess I'm suck with the damned things (I never parse my own dps, and when others post a parse, obviously it doesn't tell me how much the dmg procs factor in).So anyone with more insight into the situation that can give me the facts/opinions?If I drop the BCG and the Griz wand I can get about +450ish spell dmg atm with the crap I've gotten so far, makes it seem like a clear choice, but I don't know.

you can replace griz but leave the others.

<p>1% Crits is about a 0.30% DPS increase Each</p><p>1% Spell Haste + 1%recast = .8% DPS increase. <to much of one without the other and the increase will go down></p><p>2 BoE is about 0.03% DPS increase</p><p>So look at your parses and if the procs = more dps then this stick with them. If not switch.</p>

<p>I currently run with about 52% spell Crit, BoE of  +827 and still wear the belt but use the  WOCP instead of Griz , I also have the staff of the impaler which I dropped when I got my Predators Guard.  </p><p>Just running instances you should be able to get a decent amount of spell Crit and BoE and spell haste etc that you should try and keep the BCG.  I still feel the BCG is the best belt in the game for warlocks especially due to propagation.  Also the more spell haste you have the more spells you cast the more proc's you get and I still run with the orb in my ear slot too. If your soloing it dont matter really, in groups fast fights spell crit probably is more important as spell reuse is not worth much when the mobs dead in 4 casts. </p><p>Laretha 80 Warlock Najena, Guild Allure. </p>
