I really was hoping to get the helm, so I could run with 2 pieces of tier 9 and 2 pieces of tier 10. The T9-2 and T10-2 set bonuses have great synergy, and the helm and gloves are the best pieces, stat-wise, if you're only going to pick 2 pieces; the legs and gloves have horrible stats for a resto shaman, and the chest is nice, but the cloth non-tier emblem chest is MUCH better.
So do I:
- Stick with the plan?
I'll just keep this helm as an intermediate until I get 25 more emblems or so? - Change up the plan?
The only other tier piece I could get is the chest really, which would break my t9 set bonus. This is something I'd have to do eventually I guess, although a lot of shaman on EJ are really hanging onto that set bonus. - Wait?
Do I just hold off on acquiring 2 pieces of tier, and use my frost emblems in other slots that are sure-things? This would be the belt, and cloak.
Still haven't decided, but I gotta make a decision this week I guess... I guess I shouldn't complain- upgrades are always a good thing ;)

stick to the plan and buy the helm. t9 2pc is ~200 hep, and the t9 4pc is ~400 hep.
it's not worth giving those up for that helm and i think you are right, the other pieces are itemized horribly.
I would probably not even gem/enchant that helm, if you only need 25 more frost badges to get the t10, that's less than a week, if you can do your daily/weekly and some raid content (6 badges).
err meant t10 4pc was ~400 hep
that's t10 2pc, l2proofread
I ended up gemming the helm anyway. I'm pretty flush with cash lately and I'm not really spending it on anything, so it's not really a big concern.
Also, once I get my t10 helm, I can change the meta gem in this one and use it for my ele set. Even with the mp5 on it, it's still stat-wise better than the helm I use in my ele set.
I'm in the same boat with the same helm. I went ahead and got myself a new cape as I've had crappy luck with drops so I was still using an ilvl 200 blue cape. I've been very pleased with my upgrade, but now i've got another 60 something frost to go.
Zigi,
I am with you on that. I love the Meteor Chaser's Raiment (for my lock), but the t10.25 piece is so much better. Do I hold out hopes that I might get a santified token for my piece or get the one-time upgrade and run with it. I am already running only 3 of my t9 pieces (after replacing my shoulders with the T10 replacement).
