Maybe you’re itching to upgrade, but you’re afraid of wasting your Inferno currency on randomized gear, and getting stuck in an extra Deadmines run. I started with the wowhead post on the subject:
However, it didn’t answer all my questions, like which plate boots were for tank, dps, or heals. If you follow the links, you can dig your way there, but I’d rather have it all in one place.
Sky Strider = Plate dps
Tempest Keeper = Plate caster
Thunder Wall = Plate tank
Lightning Well = Mail caster
Star Chaser = Mail Agility
Gale Rouser = Leather caster
Wind Stalker = Leather Agility
Soul Breath = Cloth
Btw, the plate greaves are LEGS not BOOTS. I thought they were boots in my initial post, until I bought a pair…Fortunately that’s an upgrade as well. I coulda sworn blizz called many pairs of boots greaves in the past…Wait, they did as recently as the 365 boots from the Molten Front Vendor. Sigh lol. Pyrelord Greaves.
Now, for the ring/cloak/amulet:
Planetary = Intellect
Mistral = Agility
Cloudburst = Strength dps
Permafrost = Strength tank
Your purchase may have unwanted secondary stats like hit rating, spirit, etc. but it’s probably an upgrade if going up 13 item levels, especially with reforging. Cloth belts do NOT appear to have hit rating as a possibility, while the cloth legs can have both hit or spirit, going by Wowhead.
I didn’t dive into non-cloth related stuff, as the possible secondary stats are at least somewhat useful, unlike spirit for mages or hit for healers.
Btw, don’t buy the random plate tank necklace before considering the 379 for 80 Inferno Stone Fragments. Almost certainly better.
Please correct any misinfo or add as needed!
