Thread: 1st half HoF gear breakdown

I know its a bit late, but I hope this may help some people...

Tomorrow(11/6) the first half of Heart of fear raid finder opens and people will be running it like crazy to get upgrades, in here I hope to help you target some of the more common items that drop so you can focus on certain enchants.(enchant summary at end of post for the tl:dr peeps)

If people find this useful I can do the 2nd half latter in the week and add a gem list also.

I included non-plate tank items in dps since it can go either way, but the tanks that do use them tend to use the stats that the dps uses.


Role breakdown
healer chest: 3
dps chest 2
int bracers: 3
agi bracers: 1
str bracers:0
healer hands:
leather: 1
cloth: 1
mail: 1
plate hands: 1

belt: 2
tank legs: 1
agi dps legs: 1
agi boots: 1
int/healer boots: 3


enchants by number
The vast majority of healer in my guild(rather hardcore guild) use stats...
Chest:
Stats x 5

Bracers:
Int: 3
Agi: 1

Hands:
Mastery: 3
Haste: 1

Belts: 2

Back:
Super int: 2

Pandaren's step/greater haste: 3
(it can be either for the classes that use them)




Gem choices are based on most popular gems from wow popular
Gems are in order of popularity, and overall role average.
I should also note that just because I have it listed does not mean it is profitable on your realm.

Not mush to add but: Great Job.! +rep.

Especially the information regarding bracer enchants is nice to know, as I’m trying to comtrole that along with the market for [Sha Crystal] – and so fare that has been extremely profitable.

As always, there will be those that have the "its to expensive" mentality so have a few mastery to bracer as backup; its only 4 dust.

quick note: If you havnt done LFR yet, the 3rd boss is a raid destroyer; and from what I saw yesterday the vast majority of que pops I was getting were 2/6 bosses down, so keep this in mind.
