Starter's Kit for Warlocks - 3.3

Beitrag von Gyorg

Hello all.

As the previous thread regarding this topic has not been updated in quite some time, I have decided to create a fresh thread on the subject. Basically, this is to help you fresh level 80's start collecting gear that you'll need to help you take your first step into a Raid. As such, it will not include items bought with Emblems of Frost, items crafted with recipies from raids, or Quel'Delar. Yes, I know that those are technically accessable, but how likely is it that a fresh 80 will be able to get one of those?

I will be listing the top five items in each catagory. Please note that all of these assume your hit is below-capped. If you are hit-capped, go for the first one without hit, as it will likely be at least as good as the top one with hit. Your mileage may vary.

Ditto.

Once Blizzard gives us a slot for them, I'll put them in. Same goes for monk's souls, bear arms, shiny forks and courage.

Two things:

1) If you wear Mp5 pieces I will laugh at you. You have to be gaining a lot in other areas to make up for the lost stat allocation for taking Mp5. But if you are gearing up, fair enough.

For the neck and back pieces, I have fixed my error. For the 1h, according to WoWhead's filters and stat weightings for destro warlocks, it is actually good enough to be in the top five.

2) You must have gone to a lot of work to do this and I don't want to marginalize that because this is useful information. This database (WoWHead) has great filtering tools. You could simplify this a lot, make it more complete, and easily add more, by using the item filtering tools such as:
Spell power cloth dropping from heroics

How do you think I made this? How more complete could it get? I can see no way that the filtering tool could simplify this any more than it already has.

Very nice beginning list. One trinket on the list that is pretty nice for starting 'locks is the Shard of the Crystal Heart. This will greatly help new warlocks reach the hit cap and get non-hit gear for other slots. Also haste is one of the best stats (behind hit and spell power), so a boost when needed is pretty nice.

512 haste is better than 346 SP, es but if you're hit capped before either of these trinkets then they're both exceptionally bad trinkets and you should look for something else. even the egg of mortal essence (heroism healer trinket) is better than those for a hit capped lock.

Thanks for this! I've just switched servers and am levelling a lock to 80 (currently at 78) and this has given me an idea as to where to go and what to look for. I normally spend ages going through the wowhead database, scrawling all the items down on a bit of paper (that i usually lose), so this has saved me a lot of time.

Thanks again and good work!
