BM Monks and Defias Set Bonus

Srs

Legend
I want to get the set bonus on an Alliance BM monk. What's the best BiS set-up: gloves and boots, gloves and belt, belt and gloves, or something else entirely? I think this is going to be expensive either way.

Gloves and boots are BiS

Xonqerz @ Argent Dawn - Community - World of Warcraft This is - Gloves and belt, silver embossed boots scale better than defias boots
[MENTION=189]Conq[/MENTION] what does the belt and boots scale to? Do you know what the total stat difference is between gloves+belt and gloves + boot is?

Yeah, I took a look at Conq's monk and he's using Defias Gloves and Belt, and Silverlinked boots. Some others are using Defias Gloves and Boots and satchel belt. I'm wondering if it's one of those things where there isn't a definitive BiS, or if Conq is just trying to save some scratch. The difference between boots and belt is like 40k on BH. But I'll save up if boots are best combo.

edit: didn't see that Conq had already replied. that should save me some srs money.

I did at one point but I don't recall, I think it came out to a little bit more stamina, i'm going based on alliance gear options.
 
With resil on trinkets going to stam, and stoneform nerf, you think gnome is strongest race for Alliance BM? I know this is a noob question, but I'm really stuck on character creator screen. I'm going to have to really sell this to myself over pretty nelf (of course if I picked nelf then I'd probably want to farm AGM for smeld, and I'd rather not have to). I'm stuck, please help.

id say for alliance gnome has best racials for all specs except maybe MW... most CC at 19 is snare/root escape artist allows you to get out of it as well as use your lust on teammates more without having to worry about getting rooted yourself... 5 energy its there you wont notice it same thing for the 1% haste only reason you wouldnt chose gnome over a different race in my eyes would be to make jumps easier since most are almost impossible as gnome but for how monks currently play in mid it shouldnt be too much of an issue

Thanks for reply. I know I'm fully capable of making my own decisions, but I get stuck in this thing where I try and play out every possible scenario in my head and try to plan for everything. Then I get to this point where I can't do anything. I guess a lot of it comes from coming from f2p where rerolling took forever, and race change wasn't an option. These kind of decisions were a pretty big deal.

I guess here I can just spend some gold and reroll a toon in like an hour, or spend some money and race change if I can't abide by my decision. I think at this point I should probably just make something so I can queue and join the bracket while things are popping. Plus, if I go gnome, I can always pretend that I can't make the jumps just because I'm short.

now that i think about it id say panda would be top tier as well with their incap could be used for CC, interrupt, peel more so for windwalker then BM... id say for BM/WW gnome>panda>night elf>dwarf=human>draenai

for MW id say night elf > human > gnome=dwarf>panda>draenai

either way good luck with your monk hopefully i can trick you into playing windwalker sometime :D
 
Gloves are 5 agil 7 stam, belt is 7 agil 5 stam, boots are 7 agil 5 stam, right?
Silver-embossed scale to 5/5/5, but satchel belt is 5/5/5 aswell.
Gloves + belt/boots comes down to the same thing, but boots are awesome to have ofc.

This is true however defies belt gives more gearing options for 1 item since you can use it for normal by set with scaling boots or with Lynx feat for more agi
