I’ve always been big on gear lists; since I don’t have unlimited time to play, I want to know what to look for to make the most of my time. I plan on raiding as soon as possible after hitting 80, and that means getting gear I can walk into Naxx with.

This list is of gear acquired from 5-mans, heroic dungeons, crafted items, reputation rewards, and BoE world drops. A lot of where this gear comes from is a mystery to me, so this is definitely a work in progress. I know the list seems bloated, but I’m keeping all options on the table at this point. Suggestions are more than welcome!

(Inspired by Runy of Unbearably HoT’s Particularly Heroic Shopping List)

Items are listed top to bottom from most desired to least (assuming hit capped). Not hit capped? See the bottom of the post!

This list will be maintained and updated on the Gear Plan - WotLK page.

Pseudo-Conclusion: Hit Rating Wishlist

Stacking +hit is the best thing you can do to increase your dps. All the +spellpower and +crit in the world won’t help if you’re not hitting the boss.

According to shadowpriest.com, the level 80 hit cap is 289. With that in mind, here is my “try to get it for Naxx10″ hit gear.

Dark Soldier Cape - Rep Reward, Ebon Blade - 29 hit rating
Ebonweave Robe - Tailoring BoE (this looks awesome!) - 68 hit rating
Ebonweave Gloves - Tailoring BoE - 51 hit rating
The Prospector’s Prize - Halls of Stone (Heroic) - 51 hit rating
Flameheart Spell Scalpel - Rep Reward, Kirin Tor (Revered) - 34 hit rating
Telestra’s Journal - The Nexus (Heroic) - 39 hit rating
Wand of San’layn - 14 hit rating

Total: 286 hit

This should definitely be doable.
