Best in Slot (BiS) & Pre-Raid Gear

Addons & Macros

Equipment will be the main source of your character’s power, contributing the biggest bulk of your stats. It is therefore very important that you choose the correct equipment for each slot — commonly referred to as “best in slot” equipment – in order to maximize your power.

This guide will help you choose the best equipment possible for each phase, but also the best equipment you can find outside of raids, known as “pre-raid” gear or “pre-BiS”.

This guide is currently a work-in-progress and will be fully updated in the upcoming days. As such, the current state of the guide presents a simple list for the best options in Phases 1 through 3, along with their progressive lists which showcase items for Fresh 80 Characters, Pre-Raid options, and Best-in-Slot options. The current WIP state of the progressive list for Phase 3 lacks item explanations but still encompasses every possible item choice. All afferent explanations are pending an update in the following days!

As a Fresh level 80, you’ll have several choices for your head slot. One of your first choices will be Visage Liquification Goggles if you’re an Engineer that is, if you’re not an Engineer the next best option will be the Crown of Unbridled Magic from normal Oculus.

With the release of Phase 2, we get the introduction of Heroic+ dungeons which move normal raid gear from Naxxramus 10 man into heroic dungeons, with this introduction you’ll have access to Hereos Frostfire Circlet which will be one of the best options you can pick up as a fresh level 80 due to the set bonuses with another option being the Cowl of Sheet Lightning which will give you haste instead of crit and slightly less spell power

Pre-raid

Item	Source
Valorous Frostfire Circlet Hood of Rationality Gothik’s Cowl	Kel’thuzad 25m Naxxramas Malygos 25m Gothik the Harvester 25m

Valorous Frostfire Circlet and Hood of Rationality can be interchanged as they’re both incredibly powerful depending on what other tier pieces you are using/not using. if you are using 4 other pieces of tier Hood of Rationality will be better than Valorous Frostfire Circlet, but if Valorour Frostfire Circlet is one of the 4 tier pieces you are using then it’ll be better. Gothik’s Cowl is mainly just an upgrade over the fresh 80 items.

Phase 2 Best in Slot

Item	Source
Crown of Luminescence Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Hood Collar of the Wyrmhunter	Mimiron 25m Hard Mode Emblem of Conquest Quartermaster Razorscale 25m Normal Mode

With all 3 being incredibly good options, Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Hood is only good if it’s needed for the 4 set bonus and if the massive amount of hit is needed. Both Crown of Luminescence and Collar of the Wyrmhunter are both incredible pickups depending on if you need the hit from the latter or not

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Thunderstorm Amulet Chain of Latent Energies Encircling Burnished Gold Chains Titanium Spellshock Necklace	Heroic+ (Former Naxxramas 10 Drop) Heroic+ (Former Naxxramas 10 Trash Drop) Emblem Vendor Jewelcrafting

As a fresh 80 you’ll have several different options available to you with necks, if you have enough emblems you can purchase Encircling Burnished Gold Chains for 25 emblems, if not you also have the option to purchase Titanium Spellshock Necklace from your local Auction House. A couple other necks you’ll be able to pick up that’ll last you a decent amount of time would be Thunderstorm Amulet which is just slightly better than Encircling Burnished Gold Chains or Chain of Latent Energies which is just below the Pre-raid neck

Phase 2 Best in Slot

Item	Source
Sapphire Amulet of Renewal Pendant of Fiery Havoc	Steelbreaker 25m HM Flame Leviathan 25m HM

For Arcane these are the only 2 really good options as most of the other necks from Ulduar lack stats compared to these two with Sapphire Amulet of Renewal being the better of the 2 if the hit from Pendant of Fiery Havoc isn’t needed

With the release of Ulduar we have the option to grab 3 different sets of shoulders. 2 of which are our tier shoulders which will help us get out 4 set bonus, while the other is only a option if you want your shoulders to be the off piece from your set, in which case you go for Amice of Inconceivable Horror.

Fresh 80

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Pennant Cloak Cape of the Unworthy Wizard Disguise of Kumiho Deathchill Cloak	Sartharion 25m Kel’Thuzas Naxx 25m Emblem Vendor Tailoring/Auction House

With our Pre-raid we have 2 options with the most powerful being Pennant Cloak as it has a gem slot to activate our meta gem, our only option outside of Pennant Cloak before using Fresh 80 gear, is Cape of the Unworthy as it provides more stats than the other cloaks.

Fresh 80

Item	Source

As a Fresh 80 you only really have one option due to the set bonus mage t7 will give you causing all other items to be lower in damage and availability.

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
The Sanctum’s Flowing Vestments Valorous Frostfire Robe Heroes Frostfire Robe	Sartharion 1 Drake Naxxramas 25 man or Vault of Archavon Emblem Vendor

With Pre-raid gear being from the previous phase, The The Sanctum’s Flowing Vestments will be one of your strongest options if you have the other 4 tier sets, if not then the tier chest will be the next best option.

Phase 2 Best in Slot

Item	Source
Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Tunic Valorous Kirin Tor Tunic Robes of the Umbral Brute	Hodir Ulduar 25 man Yogg-Saron 10 man Kologarn Ulduar 25 man

With the tier sets in ulduar allowing us to have a 2nd use of Missile Barrage the tier chest is one of the better options to get for the 4 set bonus. If you go for the tier gloves you can grab Robes of the Umbral Brute as the next best option.

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Cuffs of Winged Levitation Resurgent Phantom Bindings Cuffs of the Shadow Ascendant	The Oculus Heroic+ (Former Naxxramas 10 Drop) Emblem Vendor

With pre-raid we have access to 3 different wrist combo’s with Cuffs of the Shadow Ascendant being available off the Auction House but also being the weakest of the three, Cuffs of Winged Levitation is our best option as a Fresh 80 as it gives us the most bang for our buck in terms of stats for arcane.

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Unsullied Cuffs Punctilious Bindings	Sartharion 3 Drake 25 man Grand Widow Faerlina, Naxxramas 25 man

With our pre-raid coming from the previous raid tier, Unsullied cuffs are one of the strongest bracers we can get in this time, as they are also second bis for us in Ulduar our next option is Punctilious Bindings which is basically Unsullied cuffs but without a gem slot.

Phase 2 Best in Slot

Item	Source
Grasps of Reason Unsullied cuffs Bracers of Unleashed Magic	XT-002 Deconstructor Ulduar 25 man HM Sartharion 2 Drake 25 man Kologarn Ulduar 25 man

With the release of Ulduar Grasps of Reason take the bis slot easily with Unsullied cuffs being right behind it, our next best option is Bracers of Unleashed Magic.

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Gloves of Token Respect Heroes’ Frostfire Gloves Spellweave Gloves Handgrips of Turmoil	Auction House/Naxxramas 25m from Faerlina and Gluth Emblem Vendor Tailoring Heroic+ Former Naxxramas 10 Drop

With the release of Heroic+ our glove options are surprisingly simple, with Gloves of Token Respect being out main go to option if we don’t go for the tier gloves for our 4s bonus. After those two Spellweave Gloves and Handgrips of Turmoil are the next best options with Spellweave Gloves being slightly better

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Gloves of Token Respect Valorous Frostfire Gloves	Auction House/Naxxramas 25m From Faerlina and Gluth Sartharion 25man or Vault of Archavon

with our pre-raid gear, we only have 2 real options to choose from, either our tier gloves or Gloves of Token Respect, with the latter only being chosen if not using tier gloves for the set bonuses.

Item	Source
Pharos Gloves Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Gauntlets Handwraps of the Vigilant	Algalon the Observer Ulduar 25 man Emalon the Storm Watcher, Vault of Archavon 25 man General Vezax, Ulduar 25 man HM

with our gloves, there is only one clear winner with that being Pharos Gloves being significantly better in terms of optimization of stats for us with the next best option being our tier gloves for the set bonus or Handwraps of the Vigilant if gloves aren’t needed for the set bonus.

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Plush Sash of Guzbah	Emblem Vendor

Due to the lack of options as a fresh 80, Plush Sash of Guzbah will be one of the best options to get as it’s also from the Emblem Vendor

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Leash of Heedless Magic Cincture of Polarity	Malygos 25m Thaddius 25m

Upgrading from Plush Sash of Guzbah you only have two real options, with one being more of a hit option compared to the other, with Leash of Heedless Magic being better unless hit is needed in which case Cincture of Polarity will be better

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Heroes’ FrostFire Leggings Woven Bracae Leggings	Heroic+ (Former Naxxramas 10 Drop) Heroic Halls of Lightening

As a fresh 80 we don’t have many options for our legs which make our tier legs and Woven Bracae Leggings the best option by far.

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Valorous Frostfire Leggings Leggings of the Wanton Spellcaster	Emblem Vendor Malygos 25m

With our pre-raid gear being our previous’s tier bis that puts our 25m tier legs as our best option for this slot, with Leggings of the Wanton Spellcaster right behind it if hit is somehow needed.

Phase 2 Best in Slot

Item	Source
Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Leggings Leggings of the Enslaved Idol	Freya Ulduar 25m HM and Emalon the Storm Watcher Vault of Archavon 25m

In Ulduar bis, 4 set bonus is extremely strong specially with how much hit comes on the gear for it. If you are using tier gloves you can use Leggings of the Enslaved Idol instead as the off piece.

Fresh 80

Item	Source
Sandals of Crimson Fury Arcanic Tramplers	Wyrmrest Accord – Exalted Malygos 25m or Auction House

For our Fresh 80 bis items, Arcanic Tramplers is by far the best as they’ll last even past Naxxramas 25m gear. However, if you can afford to get them as a fresh 80, Sandals of Crimson Fury are your next best as you’ll only need exalted with Wrymrest Accord to buy them.

Pre-Raid

Item	Source
Arcanic Tramplers	Malygos 25m or Auction House

As our pre-raid gear is our bis from the previous phase, Arcanic Tramplers will remain our bis even at this point.

Our other two options if you choose to not spend the excessive amount on Kirin tor ring are Band of Guile and Annhylde’s Ring.
