T7 Mastercraft Armor and WIS/STA loss - Is it worth it?

[BlackJohnGaunt]

<p>I just dinged 62 and, as usual, was planning on upgrading my armor to MC. But then I started looking at the stats, and I wasn't sure if I should do so. All of the armor has STA/WIS/INT bonuses, whereas my T6 armor is only STA/WIS. However, the STA and WIS buffs are greater on the T6 armor than on the T7; therefore, I lose power and health overall. I realize that INT gives me increase crit chance, but I'm already at 36% due to other items and b/c I've maxed out the INT Druid tree. I also realize that my mit and resists will increase with the T7 armor, but I don't know if it's enough to make up for that power/health loss. So, is it worth it? Any opinions?</p><p> Just so you know where I'm coming from, I usually solo but will occasionally group and typically do OK as MH. My AAs are in the INT line (max) and spread out in the Fury tree to increase my main damage spells (star nova, etc) and healing spells. I just recently started putting AAs in the WIS line. Most of my deaths when I solo are due to running out of power, which is why I'm hesitant to give up any WIS.</p><p> Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts.</p><p> Thaele Woodwise, Blackhawks, AB</p>

<span class="postbody">>>>I realize that INT gives me increase crit chance, but I'm already at 36%<<<INT doesn't change your crit chance.  INT increases the damage that your spells do.  I don't play a fury, but I would think that INT would be a good thing for a fury. </span>

<p>I would go for the new tier, if not T7 definatly T8 with the +heal/damage the gear gives. As the previous poster said int increases your damage not crit. Also generally speaking I don't/haven't had a power issue.</p><p>As to your Ap line. PERSONALLY i wouldn't do wis at ALL the only real good thing about it is rebirth and frankly that is more anoying then it's worth IMO. I would do int (you already have), agi (for the regens this is HUGE!!), and then last but not least sta for healing crit. As for fury ap's /shrug kind of hard to go wrong there, I went with my dots, and nukes first (energy line), then I went for roots/snares, and then for my preditor buff for incombat movment after that /shrug whatever you like to fill stuff in. If you want you can check out what I have on this char for point placement.</p>

Thanks all. Yes, I was only looking at my armor upgrades and not the other items. Now that I have a complete set of MW everything, health and power have gone up instead of down, and spell damage has gone up significantly as well.
