Kommentar von Galantaran

You changed the Meta Gem in the head but failed to take the lack of Yellow Gems in your itemization into accounts.
Thus the meta gem only makes sense if you have Klingenschulterpolster des Erbarmungslosen or swap one of the gems opposed to your guide once you get the chest piece.

Kommentar von frosty11161

There any chance to do a guide without using pvp gear?

Would like to see how things are weighted, choices made to achieve defense cap and what slots/items you went after for getting +hit.

Kommentar von Lotimar

Cape der Entschlossenheit is from Tailoring, not Leatherworking

Kommentar von Pondy

Surely Stiefel der naturgleichen Anmut would be a better option? More armor, hit rating etc?

Same for Gürtel der naturgleichen Kraft, certainly has better stats than Gürtel des Baumheilers, which can only be looted from a reinforced Fel Iron chest in Ramparts

Kommentar von Hadrial

Could you provide a conversion table of resilience to defense, so we can calculate our mixed gear easily? Rather than finding out the hard way. The Gladiator 2h will be very difficult to obtain in phase 1, as well as much of the pvp gear if you face horde bg wait times.

Thanks.

Kommentar von Frankplane

Can you explain why you don't have crit immunity in either set? Seems like a no brainer to not want to take 200% hits.

Edit: grammar

Kommentar von Vannicavus

Question in regards to T5 when it comes out. For tanking do you think that the T4 set with the bonuses will be better than upgrading to T5 sets? Being as how the set bonus is rather lackluster compared to T4.. or will there be non-Tier pieces that replace the 4pc T4 slots?
Like would the upgraded stats of T5 > T4 outweigh the rage proc and straight 1400 armor bonus of T4 4pc?
Thank you!

Kommentar von Leaph

In regards to Moroes' pocket watch, when you say the trinket is mediocre at Tier 4 gear levels, how much dodge would you need to make it worthwhile? 50%? Over 50? I'm at 45% with buffs in mostly mit gear atm.

Kommentar von Galgrom

You mention Romulos Giftphiole in the P2 guide as BiS, but it is not mentioned in the P1 guide. Is there any reason for that? Does the trinket become significantly better in P2, due to some other gear availability?

Kommentar von InVain1337

What's up with this new format? The gear planner was much cleaner and easier to read with how it could provide an insight into the stats. This new format seems like a step bakwards.

Kommentar von CucumbearFear

How can you not put Abacus in the threat trinket and put DST.
On use hast is so much better, you want to pump in the first 10 seconds, after that you're fine.

Kommentar von triiforce

This bis list, does it even make you uncrittable ? basicly zero defence on these items ? except for rings and weapon

Kommentar von Varqit

Can we Get an Update on romulo's Poison Vial in the trinket list please?

Kommentar von Xoros

Thank you very much for the guide, NerdEgghead!

Just a friendly heads-up to you and especially those that are *not* crazy about pvp - the amount of marks for the Glad offset pieces is incorrect / outdated,
as of April 2026 in TBC Anniversary.

Bracers are 10 WSG marks
Belts are..... 10 AB marks
Boots are.... 20 EotS marks

So it's a more forgiving grind, and remember - if you win the daily BG and have quest for it, you get 3 marks for the win *and* 3 more for quest hand-in.
So a couple of those and you have (more than) enough for belt or bracers.
And Honor has been buffed like 10x - you get ~4k honor per win now.

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Goregan

So, when I put all the BIS items into SixtyUpgrades and add Steady Talasite (4 Res 6 Stam) into all gem slots + 12def Meta Gem and use Earthwarden, it still shows Boss Crit Chance is 0.27%. So in BIS Gear, we are not Crit Immune, right? Or am I missing something? SotF is skilled too. Recommend Gems are Agi and the Agi Meta Gem which would lead to even more Crit Chance for bosses.

Kommentar von GrimReefer

18/4/26 full phase 1 bis according to the list ... im only at 390 def and 13 resilience ... not sure how this list makes me uncritable or if something is missing ?

Kommentar von lianzhu

A mistake in the text:

Abacus of Violent Odds Drop: Pathaleon the Calculator (Naxxramas)

This item does not drop in Naxx, the Boss is also not in Naxx. It is mechanar.
