Hello m8,
First of all big gratz for LK kil! Apsolutely flawless!
I've been checking ur armory out for some time now and i might add that our gear isnt very different atm. so thing i wanted to ask u is this: is the chest the offset part that u r going for atm ( since there are pretty nice shoulders from Blood Princes) and why Trauma and not some weapon with stats without proc (staff maybe)? Only those 2 things weren't clear to me.
Tnx in advance for your answer.

Thanks!
The choice to opt for the chest offpiece is two-fold. First off, as a badge loot, I was sure to get it. We did have one of those shoulders drop, but even that was only this week. Second, I wanted to get rid of 3/3 CF, so I needed to grab 856 haste from somewhere. The chest provides way more haste with a bigger slot modifier and better stat spread. If you're short on badges or already have the tier chest, I wouldn't sweat over it - the difference isn't anything ground-breaking.
As for Trauma, the proc essentially replaces spirit and haste on the weapon. While it probably isn't the best thing since sliced bread, the proc usually contributes around 1-2% to effective healing. Since I've already attained the necessary amount of haste, it essentially comes down to either mana regen or the proc. I don't really need the extra regen that much.
Oh, and there's also the fact that the loot gods hate me when it comes to weapons. All I have is a 258 staff and some +hit one-handers.
Eventually I'll probably wield 277 Trauma and Sindragosa OH, since it's pointless to even think about including heroic Arthas loot in gearing choices (game over).
(edit: Surprisingly enough, Sindragosa, not Sapphiron)

Tnx for fast answer :)
Now i see why u went for that much haste, it makes much more sense now. well i went for 4 set already plus those shoulders and i have seen trauma dropping so many times but cant afford to take it yet cause i will loose too much haste. But i guess when i get more lucky with drops i would like to test it out. Oh weapons....a thorn in my hearth all the time :D I was always a staff fan but we will see...for now 1hand + sindragosa offhand seems like a good idea.
Anw, thank you very much,u cleared some questions that i had for some time now. I hope the loot gods will have some mercy on u and give u some imbah tree drops :) U totally deserve it !
Keep up the good work guys!! I wish u many world first hardmodes!
