The issue comes from the fact that in almost every case, your item should already have mastery on it, meaning you cant reforge to mastery. That being said, dodge has a direct impact on how good mastery is. What dodge does is increase the uptime of our savage defense because every time you dodge a hit you are in essence gaining one more mitigated hit. Think of mastery as block value (increased potency)and dodge as block rating(increased uptime). Now as to why the reforges to dodge when there is no mastery on a piece of gear? someone else will have to field that one.Jeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023026375020287999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072699873864434070.post-69064611936670498082011-01-31T22:38:20.462-08:002011-01-31T22:38:20.462-08:00Why did you opt to not reforge the mastery on Tia&...Why did you opt to not reforge the mastery on Tia's to dodge when you stated that you were reforging the weaker stats to dodge?Cousteauhttp://www.ericfroese.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072699873864434070.post-20607160535006015772011-01-31T07:14:03.223-08:002011-01-31T07:14:03.223-08:00But if i keep a heroic trinket how am i going to b...But if i keep a heroic trinket how am i going to brag about the size of avg ilevel?<br /><br />/sarcasm off<br /><br />definitely just saw that change so thats good that it didnt drop last week, cause i totally would have spent my DKP's on itJeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023026375020287999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072699873864434070.post-83617158324581907942011-01-27T16:09:58.407-08:002011-01-27T16:09:58.407-08:00Ninja-Edit on the list.

Al'Akir for Cyclones and/or Electrocute.<br /><br />I'd imagine it would also be good for Feud.

You should be raid ready so your gear should be good, so just get another guy from your guild and go win 3 arena matches.<br /><br />The stat difference is (I think) negligable compared to the PvE relic as you gain:<br /><br />161.97489 health<br />20.2125 AP<br />0.0415482 dodge%<br /><br />at the cost of 0.1223993 crit% and 44 haste(like 0.33% so not really noticeable), with the PvP relic equipped, when fully raid buffed.<br /><br />It is basically a choice of whether you want a bit more health with the PvP relic or a bit more crit with the PvE relic, but the choice leans clearly in favor of the PvP relic when you consider that you have 2 other items to buy from the vendor with your Valor Points and the PvP trinket takes about 20-40 min to get depending on your skill and the PvP population at the time, whereas 700 Valor points takes much longer to get.<br /><br />Plus the ilevel is higher so you can flaunt your e-peen over your guild members a little more than usual when they are comparing average ilevel.Jeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023026375020287999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072699873864434070.post-7134027713565865862011-01-12T00:51:54.167-08:002011-01-12T00:51:54.167-08:00Thank you both. ;)
