Hey guys, Zerotheholy from Sormrage here. had a question about ret pally trinkets. i currently roll with apparatus of khaz'goroth and creche of the final dragon, but i recently won eye of the unmaking[lfr] n was wondering if that was better than creche or even apparatus. reason i ask is becuase the crit proc lets the apparatus stack up faster so i can pop cds towards the start of a fight whithout havin to wait a min or so to get all 5 stacks.

Eye of the Unmaking (of any version) is better then both Apparatus and Creche.

Personally i use Apparatus heroic and Eye. I would suggest you use Apparatus and Eye, because Apparatus will be up for each time you use CD's.

The reason i dislike Creche is because you cannot gaurente that the Creche ICD will line up with CD's, because CDS are a huge portion of a rets damage, i would suggest Eye/Apparatus.

I have yet to have the chance to properly test bone link, due to the fact that it has not dropped and i do not know how it scales with our stats, and how small its ICD is.

It is a base str increase, and if the ICD is small enough to proc often during Cd's it will be worth more then a on use mastery trinket.

From what I've read it is a DPS increase to have BLF on as opposed to Apparatus. But you also have to take your second trinket into account.

Once i get a BFL i can give you a better idea on what to use, but ATM i'm using second hand information to say that BLF is better than Heroic Apparatus.

(sadly sims cannot always be trusted to be exactly correct D= )

That trinket combo should work good, if its doing 9-11% of your damage, then i would keep it.

As for the 27s ICD that means that you get usually at least one proc in CDS (unless you get really unlucky and it proc 7 seconds before a burn phase that you can't wait on cd's for.)

So knowing that, the STR gain and the fact that it can easily line up with CDS, i would take it over H apparatus.
