Tier 0.5 set

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Leveled a rogue this go around and was excited to do this questline for Darkmantle set. Waited around before attempting it until I got my bracers, which never seem to drop, so I said screw it, I will buy them on the AH. Went to Ironforge to talk to Denalia or whatever her name is and shes not there.

Look up online and Wowhead says Darkmantle is my PREBIS, but I read elsewhere and people say Denalia doesn’t spawn until Phase 5.

What the heck?! I feel like (for the most part) 0.5 will be outdated by phase 5, plus why is wowhead saying this is my prebis if I cannot even get it yet. Little bummed out by this, and wondering if any of yall can confirm anything?

Thanks!

It is AQ phase. I used 4pc darkmantle until i got t3 as combat daggers. It was also fun to do 5pc t3 and 4pc darkmantle seal fate daggers in naxx. I think it was out early in sod and that’s what wowhead is saying.

.5 Paladin set is so worthless, not sure why it was even put in the game so late.

It would work ‘now’ in phase 1, but by phase 4 …

Ok thank you, I know darkmantle is good af, just doesn’t really make sense to me that its out so late. :frowning:

It’s still worth it imo. Some of the unique loot from the new bosses are also good for other classes so you can help your friends.

Yes, it’s confirmed that 0.5 will come out in phase 5 with AQ.

The 0.5 is a fun (if not an expensive) quest chain that serves as a good catch up mechanic for those wanting to raid and as end game items for those not wanting to raid.

I plan on doing this as my end game for 1-60 and have already started saving the mats needed for it.

:owl:

you’re playing fresh with phases… this is how it works :expressionless: it’s not changing

it was put into the game so people who don’t do 40 man raids have something to work for :expressionless:
it was not meant to be gotten as some kind of preBiS for raiding.

It was implemented into the game to provide some gear progression for non-raiders. By the time AQ came out they realized that only high-end guilded sweats were really doing that stuff so in order to keep the rest of us interested they came up with the Deliana upgrade quests.

It is confusing but they are following the traditional release phases. Tier 0.5 is not in the game, yet. Also, any gear on your pre-bis list from Dire Maul is not in the game, for another week.

You will have to track down a resource online that cross references what phase we are in with what gear is pre-bis for that time.

Edit: Almost forgot. Someone put a ton of work putting together a spreadsheet for pre-bis and bis gear and enchants for all classes in all phases. It defaults to phase 1 which we are in. Check it out. Link is in the post

0.5 is catch-up gear not starting gear.

Blizzard know nothing about Classic beyond their desire to monetize it at some point in the future with the WoW token. There are no longer gamers working at Blizzard, just accountants and marketers.

13

I feel like they should add it in phase 3. That would be a more appropriate time for it. Now would be too early.

But they won’t add it until AQ phase.

14

That 4pc is basically BiS until T3.

Shame you can’t get it til AQ phase.

dungeon set 2 was not available until the aq content phase in classic (2019) and orginal vanilla, there are also prebis drops that dont get added to 5 mans in the same phase as well as wsg epic bracers
