Leggings of Woven Death Gear Score

Since there have been so many search results related to the Title: It is 494 I believe. Or 492. However, before you look at the "gear score" these pants give you, are they even an upgrade for you? (They most likely are), but are you giving up let's say....Hit Rating??

Even though these pants are a NICE NICE upgrade, in general to all types of players, don't go stacking your "score" for the sake of it, people will call you out in an INSTANT. If your score is anywhere higher than 4200 and you are missing a gem or enchant, useless. Only use the epic gems, they are easy to get for 200G or 10/20 emblems. If you can't maintain it, just stick to ghetto gear and your dps/hps/tps/whateverps won't even change.

**Operation Truny Update**: Speaking of GS, it seems the highest obtainable score without ICC 25 gear is probably close to 5700 where everything is properly itemized. For Truny, the crafted ICC shoes don't seem to be viable for her spec since they DO NOT HAVE HASTE, so unless she upgrades her chestpiece for Merlin's Robe, and replaces the ICC-5 trinket with the Frost Emblem HIT trinket, THEN the crit on the shoes become very nice since her haste would be just under 1,000 with Merlin's Robe! (WTF RANDOM WORDS)

This gets me thinking, how come crafted items are only useful when the recipes can only be obtained through raids? Think of the ilvl 200 pieces that we can make, how useful are THOSE?

Anyways, those just looking for the gearscore probably wouldn't have read this far anyways, so bye!

Truny the Warlock - Post Leggings of Woven Death

Yesterday there was a great amount of cheap Primordial Saronites on the AH, 1420 gold each. I swept them up and looked for a tailor to make the Leggings of Woven Death. And with this upgrade my stats jump from:

Bonus Damage: 2525
Hit Rating: 347
Crit Chance: 28.3%
Haste Rating: 569

to

Bonus Damage:2575
Hit Rating: 347
Crit Chance: 28.58%
Haste Rating: 623
Mana Regen: 426

Not too shabby! Next upgrade will most likely be the Frost Emblem belt since it comes with two sockets, and can be socketed again whereas if I upgraded my gloves the overall stats upgrade is lower. If I have 40 emblems today, it would take to next Wednesday to have 60 emblems. Or sooner if I do the weekly raid and be patient enough to do the VoA lotto.

Truny on Leggings of Woven Death

Truny is currently wearing Gul'dan's Leggings of Conquest looking to upgrade to the Leggings of Woven Death. Yes, she is noob her pants are only T9.0. Well too bad since I'm not a srs bsns raider those work fine since they are the ONLY piece in all of the Warlock T9 that has haste.

However, things have changed: As long as you are fairly rich, you can buy some of the crafted ICC welfare epics (everything is a welfare epic if you DID NOT receive it in a raid, preferrably hard modes).

Leggings of Woven Death are one of these welfare items. The materials required to craft these pants are:

10 Spellweaves
10 Ebon Weaves
8 Primordial Saronites

The various weaves are no problem, since in a week or so Truny can make enough cloth. Primordial Saronite can sell for as low as 1,400-1,500 gold on our server. Eight times 1,500 = 12,000. Ok fine, about 14,000 gold isn't THAT welfare, but according to our elitist friends if you didn't do it "the hard way, through hard work, with a big group of other hard workers" then you don't deserve it.

Hey I don't deserve anything but as long as you dish out the funds. Hard work? How hard? Knowing what to do when to do it isn't that hard when you know what to do when to do it? It's an achievement?

Anyways, Primordial Saronites, can either be purchased, or exchanged for 23 Frost Emblems. I prefer a mixture of methods since I am too cheap to outright purchase ALL eight of them since the trade-off isn't "worth it". I come from the mentality that "if I can save money, then save money".

What is the net-upgrade from switching to these pants?

Stamina: +31 (SO MUCH HP!)
Intellect: +31 (More MP to Tap, and a bit more crit. Whatever)
Critical Strike: +4. (About +0.10%)
Haste Rating: +64 (+1.34%) that's huge for a single item.
Spell Power: +40 (That's about exactly 40 spellpower)
+1 Blue Socket: That's about equal to approximately exactly one blue socket.

Is it worth about 14,000 gold for this upgrade? If your answer is also: "Why not, it'll help you kill bosses 1-2 seconds faster", then go ahead!
