Bindings of Lightning Reflexes

Last night the pattern for Bindings of Lightning Relfexes dropped. I had this item crafted for me by the top raiding guild on our server a few months back. It was great to see the pattern land in our guild. I can say despite paying over 3k gold for it a earlier in the year, I'm very glad that I did make the purchase when I did. That's my philosophy on gear: take your upgrades as the opportunity presents itself. Gearing properly is such an important part of being an Enhance Shaman you can improve your output dramatically by making the right choices.

If you are Enhance and you don't have the Bindings yet then here's what you need:
4 x Heavy Knothide Leather
4 x Primal Air
4 x Primal Water
12 x Wind Scales
4 x Heart of Darkness

The mats are easy enough to come by save for the Hearts of Darkness which drop off trash in Mount Hyjal and Black Temple. I got my Hod ahead of our progression by paying a raiding guild for them, and if your guild isn't up to that level then you will have to do the same.

In my opinion, if your guild isn't up to MH/BT yet it is all the more reason to go out and get these bracers made. Yes there are other bracers out there you can get and some very decent ones, too. But the 27 haste rating on these makes them ideal for pairing with the Left and Right Fists of Brutality. And believe me, once you start stacking haste you will fall in love with it.

As for these bracers they rate 120.09 for my own personal Enhancement Point (EP) calculation. What the hell is that you ask? Read here. I'll also post some tips on creating an your EP calculator in Excel in a future post.
