  • Haste is now reforged out of on many items. Feel free to double check the math and look for mistakes.

2012/08/05

  • [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=76638][color=#0070DD]Sparkling River’s Heart[/color][/url][/b] is now the default selection for blue sockets; [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=76686][color=#8040FF]Purified Imperial Amethyst[/color][/url][/b] is still listed at the top as an option.
  • Updated the proc value on many trinkets, including [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=87175]Essence of Terror[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86388]Essence of Terror[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86907]Essence of Terror[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=87065]Light of the Cosmos[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86133]Light of the Cosmos[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86792]Light of the Cosmos[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=79331]Relic of Yu’lon[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=81192]Vision of the Predator[/url][/b], and [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=105574]Zen Alchemist Stone[/url][/b]. Many of these are guesses on their Internal Cooldown timers and vary from what SimulationCraft currently has as unconfirmed guesses (I favor the 5cd:1length time system whereas SimulationCraft varies between 4:1 and 6:1 depending on factors). Once these are discovered I’ll update the results.
  • Corrected stat values on [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=87170]Jin’ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker[/url][/b], [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86335]Jin’ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker[/url][/b], and [b][url=http://mop.wowhead.com/item=86893]Jin’ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker[/url][/b].
  • Updated the example for set bonuses to not reference T13 when it is talking about the T14 helm.
  • Minor formatting changes in the header.

2012/08/04

  • Initial release of the BiS list for 5.0 / Mists of Pandaria.
  • There are many items which are not finalized or are missing drop locations — updates to these will occur as the data is released.
  • Some trinkets are screwed up, I.E.: procs are the same value even if one is from LFR and another is from Heroic. Once these values get updated, I’ll update the list.
