F2P BM monk FC gear

ahh thanks!
 
I don't see the point of using ironjaw on a bm, using boa weap would yield infinitely better defensive. Same goes to all the other high stam art cost of agi gear. U don't need 7k hp unless u have 2-3 healers along side of u, because u have stagger. What u need is higher heals to buffer any dmg while ur healer is cc'd or while u are alone and the extra dmg to kill ppl on u quicker or make them start to heal themselves / play defensively. The extra dmg from just using a staff alone would more than make up for the stam lose in nearly every situation

I see this from a different point of view. Having a big hp pool gives you more time to run/jump to a place where people can't follow you. It gives more time to run without stopping to heal. Gives a bigger chance to come out of a HoJ alive. Gives less potential for enemy DPS to global you before you/teammates can react.

The healing from surging mist seems so marginal that if you face any actual threat and your healer is CC'd, you'd better just throw 'em barrels and keep kiting instead of stopping to heal. Now when focused assault gets applied even quicker, the healing becomes even more marginal. Obviously I might be wrong since I have barely played BM, but sitting to spam surging mist while getting dps'd sounds silly to me when you're the spec with best kiting ability in the bracket :p

I somewhat agree though, don't think I'm going with super silly stuff like mystics robe, it's just too big of a tradeoff.
 
Thoughts on loom legs vs defias?

6crit 6haste 2stam
vs
2agi 10 bonus armor (bonus armor not affected by stance, however?)

From the top of my head

Its not bonus armor, its just armor added.
 
*cough cough* Jukejitsu @ Mok'Nathal - Community - World of Warcraft

but who ever said using some more agi on a ww and bm is actually smart, because of the heals.
honestly, every spec you fc on should have atleast 2 sets, 1 with max stamina, and 1 with more side stats like agility or intellect (depending on spec) for heals and damage and such, as well as weapon damage.

like Mesikämmen said, though, having more health gives more time to run away and avoid damage as well as kite.
 
Kiting without team assistance will really only work on bad players or some clas ses, any decent hunter or any class with a reliable cc will force you to heal or die, unless you of course have teammates with you. In Which case you will more than likely not need 1k extra hp. Bm has a great, reliable, potent heal and unless you have healers your going to need to use it. By kiting so religiously your healers will be swallowed up by the enemy and if they are any decent you will be flanked by 1-2 dps. I'm not saying go full agi but most certainly use a 2h. Unless there are high stacks and your afraid of being bursted within a matteof 5 seconds. stamina only counts when you would've potentially died. There aren't many times in a game you survive by just 100 something hp

and so what 2H? Burnished Warden Staff? Lava Dredger? Grand Staff of Jordan? lmk. would you use the stormshroud shoulders > mm as well? boa cloak > Tranquillen cloak? that's 4 stam loss I believe, almost 100 health.

How many classes honestly have a chance of keeping up with a BM :p druids and hunters?

By kiting I didn't mean running headlessly around the map, ignoring your healers. With roll, tiger's lust and aoe snare you can run circles around most dps without LoSing / ranging your healers. Staying in one place to heal, when you're getting dps'd is nearly never the best thing to do.

The amount of burst being as it is right now, focused assaults kicking in WAY faster than before and the fact that tank specs take 25% extra damage, there is pretty much constantly a chance of getting bursted in 5 seconds.

Mystic's Robe is 1 more stam
Bracers of the Ancient Groove is 1 more stam
There is a 5 stam boot enchant (Fortitude - Spell - World of Warcraft)
For Rings, DPR + Ello's Band would be better
2x AGM is 2 more stamina
Heirloom Legs can get Heavy Leg Reinforcements - Spell - World of Warcraft (rank 1 doesnt work but rank 2 does), its 9 stam 3 dodge which would make it the same stamina as Fine Leather Pants but you have the extra agility crit and haste.

Seemed a bit excessive but ye I guess.
Read below.
Yes that is the name of it.
Hoggers Shiny would be best but again read below.
Using 1 AGM is BiS on very few classes. 2 is just stupid.
I suppose so.

Yes I wrote all out but I didn't mean you should do stupid item choices just for max stam.

I can see that he is horde, but he has alliance gear so it would be safe to assume that he has the alliance gear too. Also he can't get hogger's ring since he has the eyepatch. I said 2 AGM because you said 'going all out' which I assumed you meant max stam, what else could you imply by that since the previous FC set is a balanced FC set anyways. The only stupid choice I gave in that list would be 2x AGM, and that was for the sole reason of your phrase of 'going all out'.
