Pre-Raid Lvl 70 Shoulders, Back and Chest Armor Suggestions
Zeisha of the Guild Aeon over on the Suramar Realm has graciously given us this guide for new level 70 hunters. As Zeisha epxlains, this guide doesn’t include PVP/Arena gear and appeal to everyone. But I REALLY think you’ll find this helpful if your a Hunter wanting to start rading.
Please note that this is SPECIFICALLY for “new 70’s” that are looking to gear up quickly pre-raid and get their PvE on. I’m not including any BG/Arena gear here, as anyone who does enough PvP/Arena to get that gear should already know which stuff is going to suit them better in each situation, etc. Everything listed here is meant to replace the items (even the seemingly good ones) that might have been picked up in the 60-66 instances and quests, and prepare the person for getting into some heroics and even Kara.Some key things to remember:
Use Cheeky’s Spreadsheet, it really is useful. Excel Version OpenOffice Version Remember to base decisions on your spec as well as overall value. These are generally not in any specific order other than those noted to be. Everything on this list is gained from quest lines or non-heroic 5-mans. This is EASY. I’m not including anything with +haste or that requires advanced mechanics knowledge.

BL set bonus is phenomenal for 5-mans and even PvP, and these shoulders are hard to replace. Also, 2 pcs. Of BL drop on this boss. [Read more →]
