Gear help and few other questions

Hello,

I would like to ask about general gearing and the WoS (wall of slaughter) pet quest.

Gear:

All my characters casters, tank and melee have the needed AAs to increase the stat cap and now its on a stage where whatever upgrade they get it won't increase the general stats. Which brings to the need of better focus / worn items.

For example, my melee characters have STR DEX AGI STA at 355, increased via buff (shaman). These won't increase unless the item that has heroic stats. I am in tier 6 and I have probably seen 1 (in ST, a neck piece). Atk I also heard there is a cap that you can gain via items (650?), so that stat will also gets capped pretty fast. So in the end, you go after focus / worn effect. Is this correct? Now I am not talking loots on tier 7+. I can't do those yet. I would like to have some input on what should I focus. My casters also have their AAs capped on raising the base stats.

WoS Pet:

They all have nice bonus buff. But just by looking at them, I really don't see much choice. Murkglider Pet gives a very nice improvement on spell resistance and melee avoidance, which at least from the bonus itself is superior to others. So far, all my characters have 550 resist buffed. Which I believe its the cap. Above this you have to rely on your hp to survive spells. I am not sure about the spell reflect department since I don't know 45% increase of what percent is going to be reflected. But would help none the less.

Since this quest can be done once, I would like some input from you guys. Should all class types get the Murkglider Pet? or Should tanks get Ferans, melee should get Chimera and casters get Murkglider Pet? As I progress I believe survival will become more important than DPS (in most cases, maybe not I don't know). And not many items give flag increase on resistance than what this pet buff do.

Thanks.

P.S. Hope I have been clear on what I wanted to ask. English is not my mother language and I am trying my best.

Almost every stat is capped before you're even in raid tiers. I'm quite certain I capped them all in Kael. As far as raid stats go, it's all fluff. All that matters is foci, worn effects, hp/ac/mana, and heroic stats, skill mod %, and +heal/spell dmg (you pointed out many of these). These are the worn stat caps (pre-AA), according to #mystats:

Attack: 250 worn
Haste: 100 worn/spell v2
HP Regen: 60 worn
Mana Regen: 60 worn

As far as WoS pets go, I tend to agree with your inclination for Murkglider pets. It offers a unique spell resistance that you can get nowhere else. Couple that with the face that + chances from things like the Feran and Chimera pet offer diminishing value when your chance is already very high.

I'm pro Murkglider.

Thanks for the reply.

Back to Murkglider then. Wish there were more of them. I think there are more eggs than the mobs themselves...
