Hi i need some help with Adornments as a 90 zerker who mainly does group instances as main tank or offtank dps, i have been told lots of different things from strength to crit bonus, bottom line what stat do most zerkers get for adornments?
First of all, don't bother with strength adornments; your gear and buffs should easily put you over the soft cap, so you'll get more bang for you buck elsewhere. Initially, I'd focus on critical chance, multi-attack and endurance (health) adornments. First priority is getting your crit chance and multi-attack >100%, then focus on potency, crit bonus and so on. Edit: Here's a specific list of the white adorns I have on my zerk alt: Head: health Shoulders: haste Chest: parry Forearms: multi-attack Hands: health Legs: multi-attack Feet: weaponry Cloak: multi-attack Ears: health Neck: avoidance (3% riposte) Rings: parry Wrist: health Waist: haste Weapons: potency Ranged: multi-attack I don't have any crit chance adorns because I don't need them with the gear I have. Note also that when the change goes in next xpac which will have multi-attack >100% be meaningful, it'll become even more important in terms of your DPS. I'd also point out that I'm not intending that this should be some cookie-cutter template for zerkers. The right adornments for your particular gear depends on what you have. I just listed this to give you a general idea; it works out pretty well for my toon, YMMV.

Crit Bonus over Potency for this reason: Crit Bonus affects everything you do except for your self heals: Auto-attack, combat arts, taunts. Potency does not affect affect your auto-attack at all, and only affects your combat arts, taunts, and self heal. So you can either affect 100% of your offensive output, or you can affect 50% of your offensive output.
