New BiS gear

[Yapah]

Recently I have quite a bit of time on my hands so I decided to look into the new stats of gear in WoD. Seems like some quite valuable items are no longer BiS.

There is a new alternative to Mindthrust Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft now with Bright Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft being buffed and Hovel Digger Bands - Item - World of Warcraft being quite viable too.

Raven's Claws - Item - World of Warcraft is no longer BiS for FC clothies with Pagan Mitts - Item - World of Warcraft giving 4 stam 4 int now.

Tarantula Silk Sash - Item - World of Warcraft is not as good now with Vigorous Belt - Item - World of Warcraft getting buffed to 7 stam 7 agi.

Some minor changes are Sparkmetal Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft got nerfed to 4 stam making Fortified Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft BiS for max stam. Also Defender Gauntlets - Item - World of Warcraft and Defender Boots - Item - World of Warcraft have 4 stam 4 int again.

Thats all the noteworthy gear changes I could find for now

discuss

EDIT: with armor being greatly reduced http://wod.wowhead.com/item=1131 or http://wod.wowhead.com/item=11855#comments may be new BiS off hand for non-shield using FCs. (Sadly both are GFed)

The thing is, are you getting the stats from WoWhead, or ingame yourself.

Then it's likely multiple are innacurate sadly, the mitts have always said 4/4 for one.

take into consideration hit -> crit and expertise -> haste. could potentially make some items bis

Acually the mitts currently are 3/3 which is why raven claws are BiS

The point is that wowhead isn't a reliable source.

Ah sorry misunderstood. Anyways it would still be nice if someone could check these stats in the beta for us

All items without random suffix are correct, can't confirm the rest because I don't own them on the beta server.

If you got a beta account, you should be able to link them ingame and see the stats. You can get the ingame link on the wowhead page

XXX being the negative Random Suffix. For example of the Whale is suffix 8, so instead of XXX you want -8

Stamina doesn't work correctly and shows higher numbers, the other stats work fine.
