AQ40. Loot Priority for DPS Casters

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

This guide goes over the top items from AQ40 focused around DPS Casters. I give my opinion on who I think should get what loot first and why.

I listed all items I spoke about below with my prio that I thought was fair for all classes. I’m sure each class will have there own argument on why they should get it first.

I would love to hear constructed criticism on your thoughts. Let me know if you would change the priority of some of the items I mentioned and why.

I think this would be better suited for the Classic forums. You can edit your post and move it yourself if you want.

What Karat said

Thank you idk how I did that. Opps thank u for that

I think a number of those are difficult to judge in isolation because they can be used by people from multiple roles.

The wand is also BiS for healing Priests.

The staff isn’t BiS for anyone, but it’s also a much larger upgrade for most healers than most caster dps.

The Binding of Dominance ends up being a battle between Warlocks, Shaman and Rogues - depending on what your gearing considerations are.

The Eye of C’thun likewise ends up being BiS for healers.

And that’s just off the top of my head. I know that my own guild tends to de-emphasize gear for ranged dps (compared to other roles) because their main purpose is less dps than the utility they bring.

Thanks for including us!
…This list is not quite right though.

11

Hunters don’t want to keep T2?

12

For locks the belt and gloves last through naxx, so for pure utility, those are the high value pieces.

Upgrades are upgrades, but gear thats BIS in the next raid tier is really nice to have.

13

The sad thing about hunter itemization in Classic is that I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.

14

I don’t play hunter. What i see is hunters wanting t2.

15

T2 is problematic. It’s not bad, but it’s got serious issues.

16

What are the issues? Isn’t it better than T1?

17

No one is gonna still be using boomkins in Naxx lol druids getting equal priority with mages and warlocks is laughable at best.

I would think if anything just one would be there. And mages and warlock would get the best items. The items I give to druids are the leftovers

19

Actually all +healing gear is warrior prio, then healers

The femur should go to your mages. Not your warlocks.
