Wotlk Pre-Raid / Pre-Heroic Gear List

[phara]

I've started building gear lists to get my new group equiped while leveling and to prepare for heroics / naxx (I like to have a to-do list of quests or isntances I need to run). I won't make a list for every type / role, just for the ones in my group (feel free to contribute if you like).

This isn't the end-all list for each type of armor, it just has the items best suited for the role to prepare for harder content. For isntance, the tank gear is mostly defense / stam / str, but there are tons of other plate crit / hit / expertise drops that may be an upgrade for you until you get a tanking piece (or if you have enough defense).

The numbers are level required - item level.

From the plate items I looked at they looked like they would be good for either Pally/Death Knight/Warrior. Are there any items that are specifically geared towards pallys (ie +spell damage/int/spirit stats)?

[Multibocks]

great work! Just a note: Kurzel's Warband appears to be alliance only.

ack no! Do not gear for spell damage unless you are a healer! You are a tank, gear as a tank. Paladins have a talent to convert stamina to spell damage.

I'm having tons of problems letting go of the old ways. :S

That and my plate gear MUST be trampy or my Paldin won't wear it... :love:
