right now im thinking what items i should get from s3 with my points. the problem is spell penetration. i m aiming to get 70 to make shadow resi buff and aura useless.
after looking at the items i guess i got a problem.
first im going to list all items with penetration.

frist off all the honor items. ill use all of them .
old ring: 10
new ring: 14
cloak enchant= 20
---> i got 44 penetration right now.

now there are
the new oh: 35 (http://www.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2007/october/s3/grimoire.jpg)
the new wand: 20 (http://www.worldofraids.com/news/october/arena/weapons/wands.jpg)

now my question:
should i go with the wand only and take the endgame (http://www.worldofraids.com/news/october/arena/offhand/endgame.png) that way i would only get 64 resilience, but i get much better oh stats.
or
the other wand and take the penetration oh. now i would reach 79 penetration but get weaker stats from the other wand compared to the offhand difference.
or
should i consider taking both and reach for 99. or is this just an overkill and i gimp myself?

Both for 99 penetration wouldn't be overkill... most ppl get +15 SR to cloak.

But you can just get both offhands/wands and swap them when you see who you are fighting.

i think the grimoire is removed. not sure if someone can confirm it will be nice.

Today the grimoire was not on the ptr..
So, the question now is, staff with 35 penetration vs spellblade +offhand.
I think i'll prolly go with the staff and lose 16 resilience +35spell dmg, 35 penetration is just too good to pass.
