Alright Bank, I'm not arguing that your toon isn't reasonably BiS but as the accurate definition of the term, you are NOT fully 100% BiS as at a minimum you don't have the helm resist (which is a BiS enchant for that item slot). I do however consider your toon reasonably BiS for Ret as we would have to define BiS by class/spec not just class. Bamfcow is also not BiS for the same reason and IMHO FCer has much better gear in that his avoidance as a Prot Warrior is FAAR higher than Bamfcow (though doesn't have all the GF'd gear), but as it is Bamfcow is very close to BiS and could be on the list at maybe #2 for Prot Warriors. The same could be said for Ioerror, he doesn't have the Ally boots or Helm resist, both which are BiS, I do however consider him reasonably BiS. So to the OP, I guess our question is define BiS.
There are toons with the Helm resist but on a sub-par helm and maybe don't have much else for GF'd gear. There are toons with 100% GF'd gear from pre-cata + pre-shattering + post shattering but are missing the helm resist or a few cross Factions pcs. There isn't ONE level 10 with EVERYTHING (which was my point) so we have to use a "reasonable" chart of whom has the most/best of the BiS gear from the past year and a half to make a list of each class/spec. Of what I have seen and read on this thread I'd say these are "reasonable":
Ret Pally = Bank
Prot Pally = ?
Holy Pally = ?
Prot Warrior = FCer (Bamfcow close second)
DPS Warrior = ?
Hunter = Ioerror
Rogue = ?
Priest = ? (would there even be a seperate Disc/Holy - Shadow?)
Mage = ?
Lock =
Feral Druid = Headstrong?
Resto Druid = ? (Resto because Balance sucks, huge hits but long ass cast times)
Resto Shaman = ? (dunno if Ele or Enh are even any good at 10)
If we were to put some kind of community voting system into place to nominate certain toons we could maybe narrow the list down, but the OP may not be that specific in his request.
Bamfcow is BiS. For health set, YOU CANNOT GET BETTER GEAR. That is BiS.
You are wrong here. Tell me.
Is Pizza BiS or not? We would all agree that Pizza is a BiS hunter level 19. With every piece you can probably get. yet he doesn't have resist helm, does that mean he isn't bis? Nope.
He is BiS.
You cannot drop-call BiS because someone doesn't have resist helm. Under 0,1% of the twink community has it. That would mean 99,9% aren't BiS.
Those enchants aren't considered in the BiS matter.
And my term of BiS, is Best In Slot. Obviously, my head isn't BiS, but since NO ONE else has is, then it's BiS.
You cannot go out and say, everyone isn't BiS, because no one has the resist enchant. That's obvious.
No one using 2handers is BiS, appart form me, because I glitched the Dwarven Tree Chopper. That would make no sense.
Btw Fcer isn't BiS, and calling Bamf second on that is a shame. He doesn't have Stone Guard Greaves nor +3Stam gloves, nor does he have +12 Dodge on cloak.
Ioe has the 3/3/3 Ally Boots.
