Classic BIS Lists

Veteran
So with the return of Classic WoW, trying to find vanilla BIS lists for classes you haven’t played has become more difficult then I thought it would have been. My goal of this thread is to have veterans post their lists of gear for the classes they may have played in the 49s as a reference. My only experience with 49s was my warrior so I guess I’ll start with my old gear list.

Helm: Sunscale Helmet (https://classicdb.ch/?item=14849)

Neck: Woven Ivy Necklace (https://classicdb.ch/?item=19159)

Shoulders: Wyrmslayer Spaulders (https://classicdb.ch/?item=13066)

Chest: Hydralick Armor (https://classicdb.ch/?item=13067)

Wrist: Berserker Bracers (https://classicdb.ch/?item=19578)

Hand: Vice Grips of the Bear/Tiger (https://classicdb.ch/?item=9640) or Plated Fist of Hakoo (https://classicdb.ch/?item=13071)

Waist: Atal’alarons Tusk Ring (https://classicdb.ch/?item=10798)

Pants: Elemental Rockridge Leggings (https://classicdb.ch/?item=17711) or Sunscale Legplates (https://classicdb.ch/?item=14850)

Boots: Defilers Plate Greaves (https://classicdb.ch/?item=20209)

Rings: Legionaries Band (https://classicdb.ch/?item=19511) Blackstone Ring (https://classicdb.ch/?item=17713) Aquamarine Ring of the Bear/Tiger (https://classicdb.ch/?item=11974)

I think conventional wisdom favors Embrace of the Lycan in the helm slot and the Defiler's Plate Girdle in the belt slot, but I can see a use for both of the items you posted.

I also don't think the Aquamarine Rings gained any particular relevance until the itemization was changed, either in BC or Wrath, I can't remember which. If you want a good placeholder until phase 3, the Drakeclaw Band from ST is a good bet.

Also, though this may be a controversial opinion, I think Precisely Calibrated Boomstick is another valuable alternative for the ranged slot, for 1v1s. The 1.5 second firing speed could help interrupt casting (or bandages). Plus 14 Agility is a nice bonus.

I also notice you didn't list a cloak, but there are a few options here, depending on your build priorities. Blackveil Cape or Tattered Hakkari Cape would be my preference, though the latter is a bit of a question-mark for me in terms of viability. Nightfall and Sergeant's Cape might be viable choices, too.

EDIT: I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Horned Viking Helmet for horde players.
