So I got bored a few nights ago and decided to throw together a gear list from what I could find on wowhead. Keep in mind that this may change when the patch is released next week, so please don’t come knocking on my door with fire and pitchforks if I don’t have a BiS item on here. Comment if you feel something is out of place! I love getting feedback from our readers. :D Also, notice that this list does not include any heroic gear. I will do a heroic gear list at a later date when more people start doing them. I guess I’ll start with the obvious!
Here is our Teir 12.
Head: Obsidian Arborweave Cover
Shoulders: Obsidian Arborweave Shoulderwraps
Chest: Obsidian Arborweave Vestment
Gloves: Obsidian Arborweave Gloves
Legs: Obsidian Arborweave Leggings
My gear list as of now:
I should note that I listed two choices for the shoulder/leg slot due to offset options. Leggings is the best way to go if you want to go offset, but if you’re looking to grab additional hit then picking up the Resto teir shoulders is the way to go.
Head: Obsidian Arborweave Cover (Balance T12)
Neck: Flowform Choker (Staghelm)
Shoulders: Obsidian Arborweave Shoulderwraps (Balance T12) or Obsidian Arborweave Mantle (Resto T12)
Back: Rippling Flamewrath Drape (AoH Rep Reward)
Chest: Obsidian Arborweave Vestment (Balance T12)
Wrist: Glowing Wing Bracers (Baleroc)
Hands: Obsidian Arborweave Gloves (Balance T12)
Belt: Firescar Sash (AoH Rep Reward)
Legs: Obsidian Arborweave Leggings (Balance T12) or Firecat Leggings (Staghelm)
Feet: Ethereal Footfalls (Crafted)
Ring 1: Infernal Signet of the Avengers (AoH Rep Reward)
Ring 2: Crystal Prison Band (Shannox)
Trinket 1: Darkmoon Card: Volcano (This trinket is still showing to be BiS in FL)
Trinket 2: Necromantic Focus (Baleroc) or Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor (Ragnaros)
Relic: Soulflame Vial (700 VP)
While MH/OH was the focus for T11, many people are suggesting sticking with a staff for T12. I highly agree with this since there are not many options for a MH weapon. With that said, I’ll list options here for both MH, OH, and 2H.
Staff: Sho’ravon, Greatstaff of Annihilation (Ragnaros)
Of course the legendary staff (I’ll go into more detail below) is the way to go, since it is by far the highest dps weapon out of the T12 options. However, if you can’t get your hands on said staff then the staff above is the second best thing.
Main Hand: Ko’gun, Hammer of the Firelord (Ragnaros)
Off Hand: Goblet of Anger (Shannox)
Legendary Staff
Casters (including myself) are rearing up to try their luck at getting the new caster legendary that Blizzard so graciously bestowed upon us. I thought I would go into a little more detail on how to acquire it and what the proc is all about.
First and foremost, here’s the beauty herself: Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest. Just look at all those delicious red sockets/stats. :D
This staff is the end result of a quest line that is several chains long, and is pretty similar to the one that produced Shadowmorne. It should be made clear that the staff is purely a DPS staff (sorry healers), which is made clear by the sheer amount of hit on it and the nature of its proc: Wrath of Tarecgosa. It should be noted that the proc has absolutely no global cooldown, making it a great choice for dot classes as well burst dps classes screw you mages. You will have to collect 25 Seething Cinder off Firelands bosses in order to complete the staff.
The quest chain is pretty long, so instead of typing it out I will direct you to WoWhead which has already done so!
That’s pretty much it for now. Feel free to leave feedback or start discussions in the comment section. Thanks for reading!
