Locks

Brief look:

  • Fishing hat is overshadowed by the better engineering goggles. Green lens and Spellpower goggles extreme plus (ps - we can get engineering up to 300)
  • Drop neck for heirloom neck (with a heal) and put mark of the hidden satyr on there
  • Faerie Mantle is good. It can't be enchanted like the heirloom shoulders can, but it has lots of verse instead of haste.
  • That cloak is good. They rerolled all the stats and you now get ilvl 23 cloaks from dungeon satchels, so its GFd. Get PvP Power or gift of w/e for 1 secondary + movespeed. Check your bank for other options if you want diff secondaries.
  • Inferno robe, still sweet.
  • Wrists are good - you can get more to reroll to get perfect secondaries. +3 SP or +4 stam to them I think
  • Gloves are good and GFd. You can pick up magefist (scaled) and throw glove reinforcements for a stam set.
  • Belt is solid. I think Keller's Girdle is a good option too. Check your bank to see if you have any other ilvl 25 versions with different stat rolls.
  • Legs can either be BoA with spellpower/stam enchant or BoE with stam/dodge enchant from MoP. Check for any old GFd legs with enchants from way back in your bank. Green ones (shimmering?) with an old enchant might be BiS.
  • Boots are good, can reroll for stats. Minor speed (stacks with cloak enchant speed) or boar's speed (or any 2stam + movespeed)(does NOT stack with cloak enchant, so only use if you have pvp power or something to cloak)
  • Rings it depends what you got. WSG advisor ring is BiS. Seal of wrynn I think is good if youve got it. Argas rings aren't bad, but are kinda overshadowed by the blue pvp crate ring with the right secondaries.
  • Trinkets will switch around a bit. The inherited insignia is on a 2m cooldown vs the medallion's 3m cooldown. Defending/Returning champion are good. AGM is good (and GFd). Int trinket is an option.
  • Elemental force on your gravestone scepter. AFAIK its BiS - don't know of any other GFd options that beat it.
  • Heirloom or BG crate offhand with +4 int enchant.

Thanks so much bro. The rundown was super helpful!

Quick question though. What do you mean by "Wrists are good - you can get more to reroll to get perfect secondaries."?

Awesome, thanks dude!

If you don't like the secondaries you currently have, you can try for others out of boxes. You can currently get fireflash (crit/haste), aurora (haste/verse) and quickblade(crit/verse). They aren't always 2/2 either, so just keep an eye out for whichever suffix you want and see if you can get a 3/2 with the 3 being your primary stat.

Overall its fairly minor though. Just switching up the secondaries. Which secondaries you want will depend on the spec.

I've also read that black widow band is BiS? I also have Tablar MAntle. Any good?

Black widow band is 10 int - BiS damage, though you sacrifice some stam/secondaries.

I think faeire mantle is better than talbar mantle with the verse. Can't remember exact stats though. Either way I'd wear one of them over the heirlooms just for the fact that its GFd.

Don’t forget you can also get “adaptable” “impatient” and “decimator” drops
 
One thing I can recommend is making sure you have/ constantly having equipped, shrink ray. I’m starting to just have it constantly equipped on my arcane mage because rogues love to go for clothies. And makes them quite weak for a bit

And locks don’t have he option to just freeze and run away, or blink.
[doublepost=1533079855,1533079627][/doublepost]Also idk if it was mentioned, but 3/3 or 3/4 secondary stat green gloves with glove reinforcement is better than magefist. I’d highly recommend since locks with high stam can get all those dots in on everyone much easier.

I have gf'd jutebraid gloves which I believe are BiS!
