Diamond Flask vs Razorsteel Shoulders

Hi guys,

what do you think, which reward from the ST class quest should i take?

Diamond Flask http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=20130

vs

Razorsteel shoulders http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=20517

Well Diamond Flask is super gud for short boss fights. How much better is it in a 1min fight compared to Blackhand's Breadth?

I'd love to take Razorsteel shoulders, because i don't want to get leather whenever possible - which would be Truestrike. Don't really see Plate alternatives with +hit.

But i think the trinket is quite unique and it may be super retarded to skip it.

Thoughts?

If it makes a difference, here's my current gear (gearing up 5 mans now): http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer ... yer=Birday

Edit: Currently running Cloudkeeper Legplates as i don't want to go for Devilsaur. Not yet shown at realmplayers.

Diamond flask for sure! Its BiS up to KT for most bosses!

And your shoulder alternatives is:
Truestrike
BWL Dragon shoulders
R10 shoulders(with setbonus)
Silithus plate shoulders of striking(+13 str/agi/sta +1 hit)

This pretty much says it all. The flask is a GREAT trinket for short boss fights.

Thanks for the Feedback. Guess i'll go for Truestrike for PvE then, and grab the Trinket. The Abyssal Plate Shoulders would do the Job for my "Plate Set" then. I wonder how expensive those are. Couldnt find one "of striking" in the AH.

Get the trinket due the fact the shoulders are replaceable with other items with better stats the trinket is unique in its effect and will still have situations where it useful long after you would have upgraded the shoulders.

Get the Lieutenant Commander/ Champion shoulders and problem solved.
I also never wear leather with a warrior. Only mail/plate, what's the point of picking the beefy tough class if you're going to dress himwith that puny stuff.

Don't get it.
Stat wise maybe the leather pieces have some edge, but if he doesn't like it, just like I don't like it, there are some decent alternatives.

What is with "welcome to vanilla" ?

You will get abyssal striking shoulders alot faster than you could ever get Truestrike tbh. Ive seen them go from 10 G to 35 G.
How some people fail to get the flask is just beyond me.
