Belt of the Archmage isn't "solid" pre-raid BiS as it's extreemely expensive to make and has only 1% spell crit and base stats while the sash has 1% spell hit, spell damage and some less base stats. Plus few other spell damage blue belts. The belt has only value if you really want to go spell crit for PvP but that's still a stretch.
Kreeg's Stout Beatdown tooltip doesn't match description in this articlecurrent article description:
Quel'Serrar, Serrar...*cough*
Thornling Seed is dropped by Demons and restores mana at the expense of health, making it useful for long boss fights. While they can be obtained already in Phase 1 from places like Felwood, Dire Maul presents another place to farm.ought to be demonic runes and not the discount target dummy seeds
This 'BiS' garbage mentality has to go.
Decently written up to the point of Quel'Serrar.... at that point it becomes clear whoever wrote this article knows next to nothing about the actual game...Quel'Serrar is widely recognized & known as a trash weapon due to its speed it belongs neither to fast nor slow weapons, its TPS is negligible and unless your raids damage holds themselves back at all times you will not find much use in that sword... A tank without threat is just a wall, furthermore the buff takes up a buff slot which later on you could find yourself needing for actual buffsIt is nice looking of course but that only serves it cosmetically. So don't try to give it too much credit as newer players would thus waste fortunes upon this only to cripple their raid and later on realize that any raid weapon out performs it...secondly... the libram of focus is not the best for all healers... it depends quite a bit on class and build as some healers might gain more out of 150+ mana ...Note: furthermore the concept "bis" doesnt work well in classic/vanilla environment.
well said Cr0wl0ck, hit the nail on the head with all points.
Stop it with the best in slot, best class/ race combo, best dps class, best healer, best tank. How about best fun and best enjoyment. You’re thinking like an accountant, everything is about numbers with you people.
I'm suprised Robe of Everlasting Night from Immol'thar isn't listed here.....or maybe I missed something?Sure its not a Robe of the Archmage or a Robe of Volatile Power but its still a pretty good chest
Have to agree on the BiS part. Also the term has lost its meaning, I see lots of people saying an item is BiS when it's really not, seems like an excuse to roll on items.
We've made a few wording changes to this post, and the original Quel guide, thanks for the feedback!
