So the server is down for the night, better do some gear research. My hunter just hit 77 so i haven’t even started the gear grind yet, but its good to have some kind of idea what to look for.

Anyway Here goes, I have listed the initial obtainable gear from just quest rewards and getting faction gear, and a few PVP pieces. I really just prefer PVP rather than just maxxing the DPS in PVE. So these are obviously a good place to start for gear and not best of the best, I can list this later on if anyone wants it . Anyway its a good place to start. I found a great site that you can punch in your class and spec and it will show u all the best items for you spec and the most popular Gems and Enchants to get as well, its at MaxDps.com

Anyway on with the gear listings (Hunter BiS List, for starters), this should keep you busy rep grinding and PVP’ing for a while…:

Head

[Windhome Helm] Wildhammer Clan – Revered

[Snarling Helm] Dragonmaw Clan – Revered

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Helm] PVP Reward

Head Enchant

[Arcanum of the Ramkahen] 
Ramkahen – Revered

[Arcanum of Torment] 
Knights of the Ebon Blade – Revered

Neck

Consider the fact that you can get Acorn of the Daughter Tree from The Guardians of Hyjal upon leaving Mount Hyjal and, at the time of writing this, you can get Sweet Perfume Broach through spamming the Royal Crown queue. While not as good, you save yourself a huge chunk of coin for 13 ilvls of stats and if you’re in a good raiding guild, you’ll potentially have access to Necklace of Strife which is BiS prior to heroics for some classes.

It makes me wonder if dumping anything north of 10 – 15k is worth it simply because it’s purple.

Every now and then…in a very great while…you get lucky in WoW.

I was browsing through the Auction House while waiting for a Guild raid invite.

Armor > Miscellaneous > Neck, Epic filter, search. Don Rodrigo’s Fabulous Necklace pops up, with a buyout price of 3K. I did a double take, clicked it to make sure that I wasn’t seeing things, and bought it immediately. Reforged haste to hit, equipped, got my invite and entered Blackwing Descent very, very happy.

[Brazen Elementium Medallion] Jewelcrafting

346

Or you can alywas get one of these ^ crafted for you, or if your lucky pick one up on the AH.

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Necklace of Prowess]

Shoulder

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Spaulders]

[Mantle of Moss] Honored – The Earthen Ring

Mail

333

[Spaulders of the Savage Beast]

Mail

333

Shoulder Enchant

[Greater Inscription of Shattered Crystal] 
Therazane – Exalted

[Lesser Inscription of Shattered Crystal] 
Therazane – Honored

Back

Back Enchant

[Enchant Cloak - Major Agility]

Chest

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Armor]

Chest Enchant

[Enchant Chest - Peerless Stats]

[Enchant Chest - Mighty Stats]

Wrist

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Wristguards of Alacrity]

[Bloodied Dragonscale Bracers]

Wrist Enchant

It seems here that the older enchant from wrath actually stacks up for better dps than the new one for crit. Id probably take assault over the crit.

[Enchant Bracers - Greater Assault]

[Enchant Bracer - Greater Critical Strike]

Hands

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Gauntlets]

Hands Enchant

[Enchant Gloves - Major Agility]

[Enchant Gloves - Superior Agility]

Waist / Belt

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Links of Cruelty]

[Belt of the Stargazer] Honored – Ramkahen

Id probably get one of those buckle’s that go on the belts as well so you can chuck an extra gem in there. There usually pretty cheap depending on your server. Can find them on auction house for about 50-100g or so. Creates a prismatic socket.

Must keep concentrating on gear action … Gets boring writing up all this stuff after a while, ah well nearly there!

Legs

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Leggings]

Legs Enchant

Here i would take the AP over the Agility as it actually ads more to the DPS. So go the Dragon Scale Leg armor if you can afford it Last i checked they were around 500-700 gold. your already gonna have a ton of stam anyway, and more DPS usually wins the fight. but if you feel that you really need the stam hit, then take the extra stam, and tank it.

[Dragonscale Leg Armor] 
Leatherworking

[Charscale Leg Armor] 
Leatherworking

Feet

[Treads of Malorne] Exalted – Guardians of Hyjal

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Sabatons of Alacrity]

Feet Enchant

Now i like the speed increase as much as anyone, but i think it equals about 1% faster walking / running speed, so just take the Agil if you dont really care about running faster, DPS wise the Major agility enchant wins, but if you find it useful take the Assassins Step.

[Enchant Boots - Major Agility]

[Enchant Boots - Assassin's Step]

Rings

[Elementium Destroyer's Ring] Jewelcrafting

[Band of Blades] Jewelcrafting

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Ring of Accuracy]

Trinkets

If your PVPing a lot and need the anti stun trinket, get this one as well as one of the ones listed below. Or if your hard core just get 2 of the following.

[Quicksilver Alchemist Stone] Alchemy

Ranged Weapon – The Juice!

Now i havent listed any of the epic PVP gear just yet, as its not really that easily obtinable. But i will list the epic bow here as its one of the best ranges weaps in the game, and you can actually get it by just getting an arena team together and just running a few arenas each week should get you a couple of hundred points and on your way to a nice shiney epic bow, gun or xbow (all the same stats) Just depends what you prefer the look of.

The Next best one is the engineering gun, should be available in the AH for a LOT of gold, im guessing i havent checked yet…

[Kickback 5000] Engineering

This is probably the one ill end up with for a while, as i dont really like guns, just too noisy really… Anyway this one is available as a rep reward after just doing a few (lot)… tol barads and dailies.

If you want something to hold you over til you can get one of the above, this sometimes sells in AH pretty cheap really, about 500-700 gold usually is a good price guide, but some people just have to crank up the price. Anyway, this is a nice bow as well.

[Ravenheart Longbow]

Or you can get this one from the Quest in Twilight Highlands

Weapon

[Staff of Old Woes]

Phew… Now i can go and watch Man vs Wild! Yay… Happy Gear Grinding.

Shadow BiS as of 4.0.3 (this was a HARD one to find!)

I use GuildOx to determine my BIS gear set. I do not use shadowpriest.com‘s BIS Gear list or the accompanying BIS threads, although these can be good resources. I will try to keep the above link updated as often as I can. Note that I have decreased hit in this list by 3% to purposely place a higher priority on gear with spirit. Change the value to equal spirit and crit if you don’t want to do this.

Trinkets – Ignore the trinket list in Guild Ox, it is never right. I’ve done a few trinket calculations below.

Tendrils of Burrowing Dark 346 – 340.69
Anhuur’s Hymnal 346 – 341.15
Tyrande’s Favorite Doll 359 – 356.00
Soul Casket 359 – 383.55
Stump of Time 359 – 384.20
Sorrowsong 346 – 385.65
Gale of Shadows 346 – 400.94
Heart of Ignacious 359 – 413.10
Witching Hourglass 346 – 417.75
Theralion’s Mirror 359 – 462.43
Heart of Ignacious 372 – 466.87
Bell of Enraging Resonance 359 – 470.81
Figurine – Jeweled Serpent 346 – 472.34
Bell of Enraging Resonance 372 – 494.18
Theralion’s Mirror 372 – 522.93
Darkmoon Card: Volcano 359 – 534.48

I will add more trinkets as they become available. I primarily napkin-math my trinkets using their stats and the percentage uptime of the trinket based upon World of Logs data.

REFORGING

Do your reforging in this order:

1. Mastery – reforge all mastery to Haste when possible, then spirit or crit
2. Hit/Spirit/Crit – reforge to Haste when possible, otherwise leave or exchange it to add or drop hit
3. Haste – never reforge this stat

Your aim with reforging should be to have the most haste possible and secondly to reach as close to your hit cap (17%) as possible without being under. It’s ok to be a little under the hit cap as long as you’ve maxed out your best stat – never sacrifice haste to get hit.

ENCHANTS – note that if you have a profession enchant it’s pretty much always better

GEMS

For the most part right now, the red gem is the best gem for every slot on your character (just as GuildOx suggests). This may change once we get epic gems, but for right now you are generally well off just using red gems in every slot, unless the socket bonus is 20 intellect.
