T12 gloves and shoulders better?

[Vesana]

Hi Rakez,

in the Armory I still see you using T12 gloves and shoulders? Could you please share your thoughts in doing so? Would you say that using these items is generally better or only for certain bosses or specs, and if so, why?

They (two pieces of t12) are great for Sub because (1) generally it has high crit rating due to Sinister Calling (2) Backstab has a further 30% crit chance (Puncturing Wounds) (3) Ambush always crits due to Improved Ambush. The result is that the two piece t12 is better for Sub than the 4 piece t13 as the bonus increases damage by 4-6%.
