How does HC effect pre raid bis?

Should I include some more fire resist than typical to stay alive? How much would be noticeable if so? I’m playing Arms Warrior, I wouldn’t mind off tanking when needed if it made sense.

Usually i stopped playing at level 60. I never downed Rag, but i’m excited for the opportunity to do so in HC

Avoid becoming a glass cannon, even a really good squad of healers can’t save you if get one shot, obviously as your gear gets better you can sneak some stuff in like the lionhearted helm without stamina in. Additionally, having some FR gear is good, use it when your on fights where you could take a lot of fire damage especially those trash, you can pick up things like juju buffs also to buff fire. In general green gear isn’t great, as it often has no stamina on it, so you’re giving up health for resists which doesn’t really help, so look for blue FR items if your going to use them.

Since you’re a warrior, I would look at getting the 0.5 set as its pretty solid way to start. Another thing have a good shield, hot key it, shields have add a ton of armor.

Awesome thanks for the reply!! I’m glad to hear it, because I didn’t really feel excited about wearing a cookie cutter set anyways. Warrior sets had lots of leather I avoided that for now.

I was cooking up a set with the same thing in mind. I ended up coming up with a set that will have alot of fire resist.

I’m not sure if I will be able to afford the dragonscale i need to check the market still. But I will make the Arcanite Reaper myself as a Axe specialization smith.

But besides, I still have alot of grinding to go. Im 43 now just finally getting excited about the POTENTIAL of the future.

Also going to look into the .5 set. I’ve seen it I have to research a bit more on how its all put together.

Oh and if anyone looks at that i fiddled and toyed with the talents alot those arent final by any means.

One of the best mages in the early days of HC always picked pieces with high Stam over everything else. He lived longer than any of the other mages including myself because I wanted to be high on the meters. Era Raids can easily be done without min-maxing for DPS and are WAY safer if you put some defensive stats on.
