Because a very large point of the idea of twinking is to have the best gear possible. This is no longer possible. For myself at least.
There will always be a way to get the 'best gear possible.'
So you can't get a BoA helm with an arcanum? Big deal. You severely overestimate how beneficial that enchant will be.
That's 9 agility on helm. Are you serious people pick up professions like alchemy just for 8 extra agility. So I'm sorry so that helm is a big deal.
/Tickle
9 agility big deal or not is still 9 agility HoneyBadger didnt have before. Deal breaker? Ask that to the efc with 10 stacks if it made a difference.
People in this bracket farm gnomer for 4 extra agility to ring or bracers anywhere from 2 runs to 300+ runs. HoneyBadger just double that with a helm enchant.
/Click -clack, Click-clack. Can you hear HoneyBadger coming in 5.4?
Blacksmith sockets no longer work unless something changes in 5.4
Arcanum of Vicious Agility - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
Is better enchant for brewmaster due to agility giving to due to resilience even if its nerfed also agility gives to attack power, which in return deals damage, also gives to crit and also gives to a higher dodge rating (before dimnishing returns) for higher avoidance
Agility provides dps and avoidance
Resilence - Reduces ALL damage taken from players & pets
Expertise (3%)>hit cap(3%)> agility>= stamina>haste>crit>mastery
Dodge only reduces damage by physical attacks only
HoneyBadger says you not Bis huehuehuehuehueheu... HoneyBadger is done with thread . Cyaaaaaa
/Checkmate
for most twinks besides the glass-cannon ones that only group queue (cough, cough), BiS enchant is Arcanum of the Gladiator
18*(3/4)=13 Stamina
20*(3/4)=15 Resilience
Does anyone actually have that enchant?
60*(3/20)=9 Agility
35*(3/20)=5 haste
There are former 19 twinks with +100 hp / +100 mana and there is one that gives +10 haste to helm. Also ones that have +10 shadow resistance (very very rare).
