What hp would you say is necessary for T12? I have full i90 pentamelds/30 STR spec and I have just shy of 10.5K HP in defiance with food and party buff. I want to use the Shiva Ex Slaying bracelet and it'll drop me to under 10.2 HP. Is that safe? How about for T13?
Eh with the patch less than 7 days away I would say NOT to buy the i90s....wait and see. If the i110s are garbage or don't exist the cost won't go up dramatically, but if they are awesome and you need to have them you just wasted millions on melds.

I did T12 last night with shiva axe, ruby ear, ruby neck, shiva slaying bracelet, dread fending ring, gloam ring (9900 hp in defiance). Did 275 DPS which is a little on the low end (I majorly screwed my first berserk, oops! lol) - HP level was totally fine for my healers, no close calls - you have so much latitude on CDs in 12 its not even funny. You could get away with 1 minor, 1 major, and IB for every rev, plus you have holmgang as an insurance policy.

13... we're still progressing so I go in (right now) with about 10,700 hp, after 2.5 hits I have no idea what I'm going to end up with. My current theory is I will end up using 1 ruby, 2 i110s, and 2 slaying accessories (I have dread hands/legs, IW everything else atm)
