T9 chest stats... "meh"

I've got some emblems to spend on a new T9 piece but I am seriously in trouble. I guess I'll buy the ring instead. I already got gloves + legs for 2x bonus, plus shoulders and helm (T9 without bonus). I'm wearing Conquest's iLevel 226 chest and -maybe I am missing something here- spending 50 emblems for a T9 chest that is not a real upgrade... makes me feel "meh" indeed.
T8 vs. T9 chests
I'm MM specced so I wont need the 4 pieces bonus. Is it really worth spending 50 emblems for that? Instead, I think I should go for
Crusader's Dragonscale Breastplate
.
T8 vs. T9 vs. Dragonscale chests
Expensive as hell but at least...worth the gold, I guess. I hate losing crit in exchange of haste tho.

Some other options would be dont buy anything with emblems and wait for a drop on a trophy so you can buy the 245 level T9 piece. You could also hold out and see if you can get a chest piece drop in 25 ToC.
I already lost the crossbow (Talonstrike) like
5 times
... If I have to hope for a specific drop, believe me: it's better I quit WoW and dedicate to something else :-).

The ring would be a massive upgrade over either of your current rings and is really cheap in comparison to your other options. Go for that first.
You should probably also go for
Crusader's Dragonscale Bracers
before the chest.

It's fun because the ring has a "2 hours money back guarantee!" like other items... granting a neverending refund process. You buy it as soon as the raid starts and just sell back 1 minute before it expires. Then buy again and get +2hrs for free. Repeat until bored. Yo ucannot enchant them but I am not an enchanter :P. That said YES, it's a massive upgrade over my rings.

Good advice and it's just 4 orbs, not bad at all. I lost the iLevel 245 bracers today and I saw they have no sockets like this one. Good, I'll get it soon, thx for the hint.

I would run with the T8 2 set, maybe buy the ring and upgrade other items before looking at replacing the T8 chest or helm.
I tested both scenarios: T9 with crit bonus only and T8+T9 with both crit and 10%. The best dps came from T9 only (crit). Speaking of serpent sting tick damage, it was higher. Don't ask me why, but I did like 20 tests and Recount said so...

Problem with the crafted chest is that it has no hit, which means that if you just use it as a direct swap you need to use the three gem slots to compensate
That's true, swapping around 50+ hit is not that simple. Overall I've been updating few things on my
toon
and I'm now at a point where I just need to get a better ranged weapon to get rid of my 141DPS crossbow.
I'll wait for Tier 10 from patch 3.3 to replace the chest, I do not feel it's worth 50 emblems in my situation (unless I get the trophy, of course).

If you don't need the hit and your mana situation is pretty good, the leather heroic 10 man chest is very nicely statted. I was wearing it for awhile till I got the 25 man heroic one.
I just hope you didn't trash the end game chest (10 man Heroic leather from Twin Valkyr).

I won a trophy last night and got rid of my T8 2-set bonus(head+chest). I bought a chest to pair w/ helm of the silver ranger(ilvl232). It gave me more dps from my T8 set bonus. First item I bought w/ emblem is the ring coz it gave me more stat upgrade. I have the emblem to buy ilvl245 head next to get my 4 set, not enough DKP for another trophy. The 4 set may not be much upgrade for SV or MM but still a stat upgrade for me. And TY femaledrawf for the site, it's very helpful. I just hope to get lucky w/ ring,cloak and belt drop. Those are the 3 item need upgrade the most... Nearing 2800 GS. ;)

That's actually some really stupid advice. Repeat until bored? More like repeat until banned. Blizz will eventually find out and you will be banned.
Find out what, exactly? This is how it's supposed to work: you wear the item for 2 hours with a "money back" guarantee, period.
