Comments on: My Moonkin Ulduar Wishlist http://moonkin.info/my-ulduar-wishlist-moonkin/ I Prefer to Be Called MoonKing or Ballerkin.

Now from what I understand is I should be going for slightly more crit than haste because of the rotation in Ulduar which involves the Solar Eclipse. Self Buffed I am at 23% crit and 10.34% haste. I don't worry about hit because of my staff Intensity which gives me 4.57 hit, my living flame which is 4.08% hit. In my opinion the T8.5 Gloves and Legs are the ones to go for, I was told to ignore the 4 set bonus. This is what I am going for.

It just makes sense. Collar of the Wyrmhunter dropped and I passed on it because I was going for the head t8.5. I change my mind now because I realize the hands for t8.5 is a much much better choice. I don't even worry about hit rating. The more the better. In fact right now, I'm rocking 365 hit rating because of the living flame trinket; hence I removed 2 point for Balance of Power and put them in improved moonfire.

I reviewed Graylo's list and revised my own BiS list, notably changing my second T8 piece to gloves from shoulders. Hard to believe the BoE shoulders from Sar with no drakes is gonna be a BiS for me. :x Congrats!

Yeah, I have noticed that a lot of the gear has buttloads of hit (I saw a 10man Hodir drop CP with like 70+ hit on it!!). I consider hard mode drops the same way, I really need to put together my actual Ulduar wishlist. Mac @ Xiera -

As for which T8 pieces to go for - that's a good point. I think it would depend on what you would use there instead. I had considered using Mantle of the Eternal Sentinel (yes, the BoE from Sartharion), but the Collar of the Wyrmhunter was more appealing to me. One interesting thing is that hit comes in big chunks on Ulduar gear, so it shouldn't be *too* difficult to achieve hit cap. I still have more haste than I'd like, so I may have to find some gear that will allow me to replace it with crit. Also, I didn't mention it, but my list does not include Hard Mode items. I consider that a separate raid (in terms of progression), so I'll worry about that when I get there. Congrats on Frozen Loop, first off.

I haven't completed decided on mine, however I did pick up the Frozen Loop yesterday, because it was a huge upgrade to my +hit ring (Signet of the Malevolent). What I am primarily concerned about is making sure I pick up the correct T8.5 pieces; it seems that the pants are definitely one piece we'll want, and I've seen others dispute between the helm/shoulders. I need to pick up more hit so I can unequip my Dying Curse... @ Xiera — Not a bad list.

Nonetheless, I have my wishlist to refer to in the event that we progress. I only tend to roll on "conceivable" BiS items -- items that are top-3 that we actually have a chance at getting. Anyways, there has been much discussion about the 4T8 bonus. To be honest, I don't think it's worth it. It means I have to keep Insect Swarm up; it means that I could mess up my Eclipse rotations with an unlucky crit (never thought I'd use those two words together); and saving one second on a Starfire cast (after taking GCD into consideration) just doesn't seem worth it. The 2T8 bonus, on the other hand... *drools*. I'll try to remember to throw my wishlist up here when I get home. I'm going for more crit than haste this time around. Because of the change to Nature's Grace, I may only go for 8% haste from items (massively less than the 18% haste suggested pre-3.1).
