More Info for my favorite gnome killah!
Keep in mind the list is primarily leaned towards MS builds but there are several sections with DW fury recommendations
Head - Enchant
1. Gladiator's Plate Helm/ Merciless Gladiator's Plate Helm – Gems – This is typically one of the first arena pieces warriors get (other than a weapon). This will be one of the few Arena items on the list
2. Overlord's Helmet of Second Sight/ High Warlord's Plate Helm,
These are the best DPS plate helms for warriors until you can get either Gladiator's/T4/Doomplate. Socket it very well. I recommend going with the Second Sight as honor points will be spent elsewhere for other slots.
3. Exorcist's Plate Helm – Gems
I recommend not spending the spirit shards required to get this unless you’ve managed to collected ~100 of them as those shards will be better saved for the Band of the Exorcist
4. Clefthoof Helm/Helm of Lupine Ferocity – not socketable – Although not as good as the Exorcist’s they are very easily obtained and are just fine for dps until you get your Second Sight/HWL
Neck
1. Pendant of Triumph – Gems Smooth Dawnstone/Jagged Talasite/Wicked Noble Topaz. Even most raid drops don’t equal/surpass this item.
2. Insignia of the Mag'hari Hero - which is probably the most well balanced of all the choices, and is obtained through the quest chain that brings Thrall to the Outlands. This chain is long and complicated but well worth it as this neck will not be replaced until you get an epic Heroic/Raid drop. Additionally completion of the chain should also get you Revered (or very close to it) with the Mag’har. More info on how to unlock/complete the quest chain can be found at WoWWikki under Greatmother Geyah
NOTE: note sure if there is an Alliance equivilant
3. Natasha's Choker/Natasha's Pack Collar - From the easily soloable Cenarion Expedition quest chain in Blades Edge Mountain starting with Damaged Mask),
4. Choker of Bloodied Feathers (from quest chain starting with Veil Skith: Darkstone of Terokk),
Shoulders – Enchant Scryer/Aldor dps shoulder enchant
1. Pauldrons of the Crimson Flight – formerly the #1 until the S2 Arena gear was released. I would still recommend getting them until you have enough arena point for the S2 shoulders. Given how many of the tanking/dps pieces you will want are in Black Morass Getting them should not be too much of an issue.
3. Skybreaker's Pauldrons/High Warlord's Plate Shoulders – Gems (HWL) – I recommend sticking with Skybreaker until you can get one of the higher options as again honor would be better spent on one of the pieces that wont be upgraded
Back – Enchant Greater Agility (+12 Agi)
1. Sergeant's Heavy Cloak
2. Capacitus' Cloak of Calibration/Cloak of Impulsiveness/Netherfury Cape
3. Cloak of the Inciter (though for DW Fury this may be another #2/#1 tie due to the hit rating)
Chest – Enchant Exceptional Stats (+6 Stats)
1. Merciless Gladiator's Plate Chestpiece – Gems Wicked Noble Topazx3 (red1,red2, yellow1)/Chestguard of Exile – Not Socketable/Breastplate of Kings (Armorsmiths only) – Gems Jagged Talasite (Blue1) Wicked Noble Topaz x2 (Yellow1, Yellow2)
I list these only because they are possible to get outside of raids/heroics. Gladiators from arena grinding and the Exile is an epic world drop. So unless you get extremely lucky with a drop or have a good arena team move to the next options of the list. Naturally any DPS warriors foolish enough to persue armorsmithing (like I did hehe) should stick with BPoK.
2. Doomplate Chestguard – Gems Wicked Noble Topaz x2 (Yellow1, Yellow2) Jagged Talasite (Blue1) /Gladiator's Plate Chestpiece – Gems Wicked Noble Topaz x3 (Yellow1, Yellow2, Red1)
3. Chestplate of A'dal/Blackened Chestplate/High Warlord's Plate Chestpiece
4. Durotan's Battle Harness /Adamantite Breastplate – Socket as you choose but I would recommend not putting good gems in it as these should only be used until you can upgrade to one of the higher priority pieces
Wrist – Enchantment Assault (+24 Attack power)/Brawn (+12 Str)
1. Veteran's Plate Bracers/General's Plate Bracers – Gems Jagged Talasite/Wicked Noble Topaz
2. Bands of Syth
3. Bracers of Recklessness/Adamantite Plate Bracers – Gems do not use good gems, hold off for one of the higher
Hands – Enchant Brawn (+15 Strength)
1. Gauntlets of Cruel Intention
2. High Warlord's Plate Gauntlets/Gauntlets of the Vanquisher (best option for DW Fury)
3. Adamantite Plate Gloves – Gems do not use good gems, hold off for one of the higher
Waist
1. Veteran's Plate Belt
2. General's Plate Belt/Deathforge Girdle – Gems Wicked Noble Topaz (Red1), Jagged Talasite (Blue1)
3. Rubium War-Girdle
4. Borak's Belt of Bravery
Legs Enchant – Cobrahide Leg Armor
1. High Warlord's Plate Legguards
2. Legguards of the Shattered Hand (Clefthoof Armor kit prefered)
3. Murkblood Avenger's Legplates/ Inkling's Leggings
Feet - Enchant Dexterity (+12 agi)/Fortitude (+12 stam)
1. Veteran's Plate Greaves
2. Obsidian Clompers - Gems Smooth Dawnstonex2 (Yellow1, Yellow2)
Fingers
1. Veteran's Band of Triumph
2. Band of the Exorcist/Ring of Umbral Doom
3. Conquerer's Band/Ogre Slayer's Band
Trinkets
1. Hourglass of the Unraveller
2. Ancient Draenei War Talisman/Bladefist's Breadth/Figurine - Nightseye Panther (For Jewlcrafters only)/Skyguard Cross
3. Terokkar Tablet of Precision (good for DW Fury)/Core of Ar'kelos/Abacus of Violent Odds (Also good for DW fury)
Honorable Mention: Hand of Justice amazingly enough few dps trinkets scale as well as this one. The better your gear the more potential this trinket has for dps potential. Its potential is even more impacting for 2h MS warriors
Ranged - Enchant Stabilized Eternium Scope (though I'd not bother with the scope since it only affects ranged crit %)
For Arms warriors
1. Wrathfire Hand-Cannon/Bloodwarder's Rifle/Consortium Blaster
2. Felsteel Whisper Knives/Hemet's Elekk Gun
For DW Fury
1. Marksman's Bow
2. Felsteel Whisper Knives
3. Skyfire Hawk-Bow
The only addendum to the list in regards to MS build is weapon choice
Naturally the smithing weapons are the #1 options
Outside of that. there are a lot of choices
#1. Plasma Rat's Hyper Scythe (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=28253)
The others are all about on par
Crystal forged War Axe (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=31291)
Crow Wing Reaper (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=27986)
Apexis Cleaver (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=32663)
Lantresor's Warblade(http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=25608)
there are probably a ton of others but those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head
