Depends. Some prog BiS for Savage prefers normal mode gear over pentamelded crafted due to substat allocation (DNC recommended some normal pieces over crafted last expac because DNC doesn’t really want skill speed, so it was better to take the normal mode items that didn’t have it if the crafted pieces did; BRD also chose normal mode pieces with Crit over crafted back in SB because of how meaningful it was to the job). We’ll find out on Tuesday. The EX stuff will be irrelevant though.
