How do you determine what's BIS for your class?

[thubble]

There are dozens of pages and who knows how many toons listed in the F2P level 20 Armory Library. It's beyond overwhelming to try to go through all of that just to find out what is BIS for my priest. I've got several thousand honor and justice points that I've been building up, and by now the times really arrived to spend some of them XD

http://www.twinkinfo.com/f2p-twinking/31184-questions-do-you-have-simple-question-ask-here.html Scroll down some and there is a section on BiS for various classes and spec.

Twinking is about dedication. Dedication is shown in time to spend in the char. If you don't have the time to look up and through all these Armory links, you'll probably certainly don't have the time to become BiS.

And just because it took this long to go through all this, someone made a post/thread about all these links: http://www.twinkinfo.com/f2p-twinking/31184-questions-do-you-have-simple-question-ask-here.html The first post is all you need.

it's pretty easy to find bis: heirlooms, highest dungeons available items. for the rest you're right check the armory here: http://www.twinkinfo.com/f2p-twinking/30245-f2p-rankings-pve-pvp.html (find a class on the same faction, bis changes with faction).

Think, get gear, test, think again.

BiS is LARGELY your opinion depending on how you play. consider each stat and how it weighs to the others..then put those weights into wowhead...and viole....you're definition of BiS (although the filter doesn't work well with BoA gear).

edit...BiS should really be replaced with BiU imo....Best in Use.

...just imo.

 

[babouchka]

also never disenchant or sell +hit items, it's useful later when you need to kill higher mobs (for cloths or x reasons).

Thanks to all that answered with useful information.

First of all, there is no one set of BiS items, although there are clearly some very superior items for each spot.

You need to think about your role (melee, caster, or heals) and then decide on a balance between burst and survivability that fits your playstyle. If you are pve, you almost always go 100% burst since you have a tank to ensure your survivability (for a tank, burst is threat).

If you are pvp, you have to go with a lot more survivability since you will be attacked -- a lot. If you are a flag carrier, you need to probably go 100% survivability. This is why you see flag-carrying healers and dps'ers wearing so many pure stamina items. Probably the only dps class that can get away with 100% burst (pve gear) in pvp situations is rogues after they have vanish.

In addition, if you are dps, you'll need to find a selection of items with +hit so that you are not missing your targets.

Keep in mind that this is not too hard as there are generally only 2-3 potential BiS items for a particular slot, many have +hit, and you do not gimp yourself much if you are using the 2nd-best item in 2 or 3 spots. The exception to this are items that were clearly designed for higher level characters (AGM trinket) or have no real equivalent (Lucky Fishing Hat).

Think, get gear, test, think again.

This and...

You can start with simple weighting.

• Primary Stat: 2
• Stamina: 1.5
• Alternate Stat: 1
• Worthless Stats: 0

Test it with your playstyle and adjust values until a new item is "BiS"; test again, etc, etc

BiS "races", professions, items depends on the environment. Best for BG's may not be best for PvE/Arena.
