39 TBC BiS Standards (Phase 1)

[Selaya]

I mean, ideally you link up all relevant items and then argue for each one's pro and cons, and then bring up a few example lists.

Shameless plug time: That's what I initially designed the 39s Wiki for!
Imho a Wiki is a great platform for that, you can write up a short blurb about items and stuff, and then let people decide. Examples:
PoD https://39s.info/Pendulum_of_Doom
Bonebiter https://39s.info/Bonebiter
SoJ https://39s.info/Staff_of_Jordan

These builds have to be competitive in a wargame environment, and I have yet to meet an FC who would enter a wargame without Feral Charge. I've fought with and against the very best around and simply put, it's THE move to get through almost every ultra-sticky situation and it's CD is fantastically short. I appreciate your perspective though, and will put together a NS FC build for the list.

Gearing wise, I'd say Druids are among the most flexible classes and there are many ways to be viable. My boomkin build for instance has very high healing because imo that's the most effective way to play it, but it's fair to say someone with a super glass build will probably be a better pug stomper. Either way there isn't much call for a boomkin in premades though so I don't worry too much about specs like that.

i agree that feral charge is better in wargames, but how often do we play those NS will still be my go-to for daily pugs, im usually alone on defence where more then often good rogues are the only thing im scared off. in those situations a NS+heal or NS+root tends to save the day for me

btw i think we're wargaming this weekend and im gonna try play my boomkin if they let me, its a strong class to bring if you ask me!

Any wargame spec will perform excellent in pugs, but not the other way around. Doesn't make any sense to me to build a list that ignores the most competitive environment, and even if we don't wargame much that is the pinnacle of why many of us twink. Folks are welcome to make their own builds and just as I did with your suggestions, I will fold in ones that have competitive potential or represent a significantly alternative playstyle. However I'm not about to throw together a PoD Hunter for instance because someone can pug stomp with it.

GL this weekend, I'm still semi retired but perhaps I can get a PTR game in one of these weeks with everyone.

Don't do what i did and level to 39, spend 6k gold just to wait 1 hour + for bg pops, i suggest farming the marks/honor at 19

I'm getting 5 min pops after work hours as Ally basically every day for the record.

HPal BOE gear seems really difficult to come by. Any other alternatives for those BOE greens?

Well you can take leather/cloth +healing items or look for eagle. Deathmage Sash is a great alternative belt too.
