price for 885 six feather fan?

It's just funny how the 7 toons he has all have Fan yet it's such garbage. Lol. Oh yea, and they might do 10% of your damage done which still a lot, but that guys 885 does 3x more damage than yours. He's downratjng his item

Both of you @DeLindsay and @Veechard have 2 different opinions and have 0 reason to fuss about it I mean come on is it that hard to just agree to disagree this bickering is really boring and unnecessary if you guys got a problem deal with it in a conversation not in a thread about selling an item

Yes is Is that hard when he is misinoforming the community. He literally said himself that his fans do almost 10% of his damage done, and none of his toons have anything close to 885 fan. If it was, would probably be close to 20+ % damage done. Not just gunna sit there and let him say a trinket is Garbo when it's in fact a way bigger upgrade than upgrading oTher shit to 885
 
Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll take it to the PTR and play around. I'm slowly gathering stuff for a dk, nothing crazy, and the proc might be a larger dmg boost for a moderately geared twink than for a really geared one.
 
I feel like a lot of people overestimate the value of sockets. Sure they're rare (~10% chance) and they give you a little more customisability with your stats, but they're only worth 5-10 ilvls in most cases (15 on a few slots and about 20 if it's a trinket that doesn't match your primary stat). That's not even considering the stam that ilvl gives, if that's useful to you then the value of sockets will be lower.

The only time they will really matter is when your gear is near the ilvl of theoretical best in slot, which isn't realistically achievable at the moment anyway. Before that, there's no point in insisting that every one of your items has a socket when the non-socketted equivalents could be cheaper or better for the same price.

Edit: Leech on the other hand is 4 times rarer than a socket and serves a unique purpose with no alternative source, so the value of that bonus can be pretty high for those who need/want it.

Couldn't agree with you more. I typically go with as high an ilvl as possible on gear which matches my primary stats, and sockets / tertiary stats on pieces which don't - with a seperate leech set available if/when needed.

Personally, I get a lot of shit for stacking haste for my gems on my Arcane mage, but I find it to work very well for me. With Arcane mages getting stronger with their abilities as you reach 4 Arcane charges, The faster I can get attacks off, the quicker I can get that 4 point Arcane barrage off. Also my missles get faster, allowing me to get back to rotation faster. Evocation as well, can get back to casting much faster. With Arcane mage, you don't want any down time. ALSO, on of our main cooldowns is Arcane Power which if you play an Arcane mage, never lasts long enough ;). With haste stacking, yes I might lose out of Vers or mastery, but mulligan makes up for that. Picture 1 second or less cast Arcane Blasts, with mulligans putting your crit at 70% when it procs crit. My record is 11 second kill on 2nd boss in Nelth. I won't stop stacking haste till I hit 100% which isn't possible.

With that being said, sockets matter a TON more to me than IL. However, leech matters more than stam to me at this point as I have no self healing. So for me it goes in order of usefulness, socket --> leech --> warforged or titanforged. My art level 20 gives me more than enough stam

I would like to one day find an Arcane mage who goes a balance spec of crit/mastery/Vers and see how they fair against me on burst. From what I'm seeing, pure haste setup is the way to go
 
I completely agree with Aelo on how over-valued sockets are (for the most part). There are a couple class/specs where a specific secondary stat grants quite a lot of dps and is worth much more than their primary stat so for those specific scenarios a socket might be worth quite a bit. Otherwise it's icing on the cake (for PvE).

As to the OP, I sold a 775 6FF for 190k on Aerie Peak, which is a semi-inflated server.
