19 Druid Leather of the eagle or cloth with max stats?

[Yutechx]

Hello everyone,

My druid is pretty much full bis now as prescribed in Jamesb's guide, running full leather items with 'of the eagle' stats.

Something just feels off. I'm starting to consider running with cloth with better stats opposed to the leather for the little bit more armor but heavily sacrificing stats.
Scouting gloves of the eagle 4/4 -> Magefist gloves = 1- stam +1 int +4 spirit
Scouting belt of the eagle 4/4 -> Kellers gridle = 1- stam +4 int
Scouting leggings of the eagle 5/5 -> Darkweaves = -1 stam +2 int +6 spirit

Is the slight armor increase and 3 stam really worth 7 int and 10 spirit? My druid seems to oom way too easy.

stats > armor. 19 rdruid, hpal, rsham will have alot of cloth items. of the eagle cloth/leather/mail can be a fast way to get into the ballpark for twinking

when i came to WOW, i came from other games where armor actually worked and was more significant than WOW. i made my first 19 rogue and a 19 hunter, i equipped both with what i though was best according to thottbot for the level.

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=5404/serpents-shoulders i went into some BGs inspected some rogues, eventually came across a hunter wearing cloth below, and a rogue in same BG had the cloth shoulders too which really surprized me. the hunter i somewhat understood seeing intellect stat also.

i asked the rogue, is 3 stam worth losing 29 armor? reply was stats > armor, i was told to go to a site. forgot name pre-twink info era. all the build sheets even for warriors used the cloth shoulders

I think you mean pwndepot

As far as shoulders go, not worth it until we get naxx shoulders. Also the armor difference between cloth and leather is quite minimal, so definitely go for max stats!
