How to Get BiS PvP Gear at Level 80 in WotLK | Wrath Classic Gearing Guide

you know what we love here at skill capped PVE raiding truly is the Pinnacle of World of Warcraft demanding a level of strategy and skill that Gladiators could only dream of nah I'm just messing with you you should have seen your face here at skill cap we hate that cringe dragon slaying stuff but if we had to pick an expansion where PVE was the most enjoyable it would probably be Wrath of the Lich King which is fortunate because For Better or Worse PVE is going to be a core part of Wrath classic arena is going to be filled with PVE gear which gives the experience of gearing your character a flavor that modern expansions lack in Wrath you didn't replace your Cosmic badge with an eternal badge you replaced your needle encrusted scorpion with a deathbringer's will the process of gearing in PvP in Wrath is less of a checklist and more a matter of playing the hand you're dealt so today at skill cap we've already paid the best players to figure out the absolute best ways you can gear fast in Wrath to immediately out skill everyone in Arena from day one and Beyond however on unlike shadowlands you won't be able to just stop people by out gearing them in Wrath PVP so just being decked out in the best gear might make you look and feel fancy but it still won't be enough luckily for you we've worked together with literally the highest rated players in the game who have played wrath non-stop for 10 years on private servers to create the most effective courses that will allow you to master your class stupidly fast from damage to crowd control to the most advanced tips out there you won't be disappointed and the best part is you're guaranteed to climb 400 plus rating when actively using skill caps so be sure to check us out after this to make your shiny new gear actually useful anyway getting back into it this video is going to be a very top-down overview of what is available not necessarily what is good for your spec if you want a comprehensive gear guide for your specific class be sure to check out our class guides and starter courses so you've just hit Level 80. what gear is available to you and what should you be prioritizing on the off chance that Jeff Bezos is watching let's start with items you can buy with gold the jewel crafting vendor in dalaran will sell you 200 item level epic Rings get used to hearing this number 200 item level is the lowest level of Epic item on par with heroic Dungeons and Knox ramen's 10-man loot the starting price for these rings are 8.5 000 gold but the vendor will offer you a discount based on your Kieran tour rep down to the meager 6.8 000 at exalted new or returning players will likely have better things to spend their gold on but 8 000 gold is chump change for TBC classic Raiders and their GD KP earnings the Rings can be traded in for upgraded versions over the course of the expansion but they always stay behind the gear curve moving on the auction house in season 5 will also feature a particularly large amount of bind on equip epic items for players to purchase the launch raids are filled with Boe drops 213 Boe bracers can be bought with Badges of Valor giving players a way to turn their unwanted badges into gold at launch professions will be able to craft 200 eye level epic Boe pieces some of these items punch well above their weight but you won't see many of these items appearing on best in slot lists like with the Kieran tour Rings we just saw these items are either a good head start or a way to prop up a particularly weak slot they aren't super desirable on their own merit with one exception Darkmoon card greatness as the name implies it's uh pretty good it's stupid good it's the kind of good that can only happen by accident every strength and Agility user is going to want this trinket and some players might not replace it until season 8 when ice Crown Citadel opens up greatness can be bought either directly as the trinket or by trading it in a Noble's deck which is created by combining eight Nobles cards in the early days of Wrath classic the completed decks will likely be sold at a premium you'll save money by buying the individual cards it's also a standard practice to trade cards so if you see someone selling a card under value you can always pick it up and look to trade it for a card you need getting a hold of a greatness card is going to be an ordeal it is going to be by far the most desired Boe item at launch and you could expect to see it all over our business list for season five finally professions will be able to craft blue quality PVP gear most of the sets will be 187 item level but JC and tailoring will be able to craft 200 item level pieces these will be significantly cheaper than everything else we've talked about so far and will likely be an affordable option for players after a few weeks or months of course PVP gearing also will include the iconic winter grasp zone so how does it factor into your progression you will want to be doing winter grasp as soon as possible it will be one of the best sources of Honor along with having some pretty snazzy rewards winter grasp has two currencies associated with it winter grasp marks of Honor from participating in the battle for winter grasp itself and stone keeper shards which are rewards from weekly requests and drop from dungeon bosses while having the essence of winter grass buff with wrath classic blizzard has announced changes to how wintergrass functions that will see players essentially always have access to essence of winter grasp at launch winter grasp Marx will offer eye level 200 rewards which aren't particularly exciting however each new season will introduce new rewards to Winter grasp which will quickly become very nice for new characters season 6 will introduce the Titan forged runes which are PV theme medallions with an offensive stat rather than resilience this is a desirable option for non-human races who are looking to drop some resilience the stonekeeper shards allow you to purchase a variety of PVP oriented gems and enchants the enchants are significantly easier to acquire than their PVE equivalents they will still require PVE to earn but believe us when we say you would rather Farm 10 winter grasp shoulder enchants than one sons of hodir and chant now let's talk reputations as you'll have come to expect after TBC classic reputations are an important part of Wrath of the Lich King for PVE players mandatory head and shoulders and chants are gated behind reputations thankfully the winter grasp and chance that we just talked about give pvpers a cheap and easy alternative however if you want to be taken seriously in raids you will want to have the appropriate PVE enchants certain factions have unique ways of gaining reputation with them such as daily quests but the dominant source of rep is going to be through dungeon raids you earn reputation for a given faction by wearing their tabard which can be purchased from their quartermaster these rep grinds will take quite a while to work through but you'll be pairing them with other activities so it shouldn't be too painful for PVE players the first Tavern they would pick up would be based on their desired Helm enchant so melee players would go with the Knights of the Ebon blade casters with the Kirin Tor healers with the weerm rest Accord for both melee and casters these enchants feature crit rating whose values reduce through resilience so in the context of PVP it's likely that most players will prefer winter grasp and chance to these reputation rewards so you might want to consider prioritizing reputations based on the weapons offered these weapons are the equivalent of blue heroic dungeon drops they're not good but in the early hours of hitting 80 it's quite possible that this may be the first weapon to replace your greenquest reward one key faction that we already alluded to are the sons of hodir the sons of hodir will be the most common way players acquire a shoulder enchant in Wrath classic the reputation is unlocked after quite a lengthy Quest chain in the storm peaks something you can knock out while leveling after which it will become driven by daily quests in total it will take you a few weeks to get sons of Hodor rep to exalted depending on a number of factors the good news is that it seems the shoulder enchants will launch as an account wide item so you only need to endure this once just like with the Hellman chance these items include Critical Strike rating while the wintergrass rewards offer resilience now dungeons as you probably noticed there are a lot of incentives to do dungeons when you first hit level 80 in Wrath classic unlike in the burning Crusade wrath heroics are rather forgiving and you should be fine to begin running heroic dungeons as soon as you hit Level 80 regardless of gear the typical rewards are blue quality 200 eye level with n bosses dropping an epic 200 eye level piece these epic pieces are equivalent to NAX 10 and hateful Gladiator gear some some of these epic items punch well above their weight one thing to note is that every role has access to an epic weapon from these dungeons while targeting these dungeons for gear you will also be earning emblems in Wrath emblems had a two-tier system you had the primary tier that came from the current raid and sources such as your first daily heroic and a secondary tier of emblems that dropped from heroic dungeons themselves these can be downgraded to access lower tiers when required in season 5 emblems of heroism offer some solid but unremarkable options as the expansion progresses emblems will reward a much greater selection of vastly more powerful gear including PVP gear these items are meant to give PVE players something to spend excess badges on so their price is pretty unreasonable but if you simply must have a gear with the word gladiator in it this is a way to do it now let's talk about honor honor will of course be a major component of gearing in Wrath of the Lich King over the course of Wrath we saw blizzard iterate on PVP gear likewise throughout TBC classic we saw the price of Honor gear hit with hashtag some changes we wouldn't be surprised at all to see the cost of Honor gear and wrath classic tweet but there is a lot we can be certain of PVP gear will have the same three-tier system that will be familiar to players of TBC classic honor will be used to purchase the third tier PVP sets as well as first and second tier off pieces let's use season 5 as an example you have Savage hateful and deadly sets of gear Savage gear is 200 item level blue quality and is purchased entirely with honor acquired through Battlegrounds and winter grasp hateful gear is 200 item level epic quality this is approximately 15 more powerful depending on the item these items will cost a combination of honor and arena points and in 2009 had modest rating requirements hateful off pieces are bought entirely with honor with no rating requirement deadly gladiator's gear is 213 epic quality and while its core set pieces are bought entirely with arena points its off pieces are Bought With Honor these pieces are expensive costing twice the honor of their hateful equivalents the rating requirement for these varies from 1200 to 1500 rating deadly is about 11 more powerful than hateful gear so those are the three tiers of gear when a new season begins a new tier PVP gear is introduced and everything shifts down to accommodate it the honor grind is significantly more forgiving than in TBC but time management will be a big factor here you may find yourself questioning whether it's worth buying one deadly belt or a hateful belt and boots for the same cost as we discussed in our professions guide the bonuses from professions are going to be very important in Wrath classic you will want to make sure you are finding the time to level your professions and get them out of the way one thing we left out of that video was a discussion of the profession specific items the main reason for this is the items are not as powerful as we saw in TBC classic there's nothing on the level of deep thunder in DBC Engineers had access to goggles that were on par with sunwell loot in Wrath the only goggles offered a 200 item level the lowest level of Epic gear and comparable to NAX 10 loot items like the Twilight serpent figurine and the gnomish lightning generator are accessible options that may be strong options for Jewel crafters and Engineers starting out finally be sure to keep an eye on the calendar for certain world events certain world events offer some decent gear for very little effort Brewfest offers trinkets equivalent to the 200 eye level Badges of heroism trinkets Hallows and offers 200 eye level Rings among other stuff Love Is in the Air offers neck pieces and the midsummer fire Festival offers cloaks now you know what to do immediately when you hit 80. let's go over what you should be doing weekly to stay ahead and speaking of getting ahead of the competition skill capped offers specialized PVP guides at your fingertips from rank 1 players while everyone else is trying to slowly figure out everything themselves you can jump start the process with skill cap quickly putting you ahead of the competition join us today Link in the description below anyway this brings us to the moment you've been waiting for rating rating is going to be a core pillar of Wrath classic PVP unlike in modern wow where gear is heavily homogenized PVP and PVE oriented gear is budgeted differently in Wrath PVP gear emphasizes defensive stats meaning additional stamina and of course resilience gearing and wrath is about balancing the competing goals of defense and offense some classes may go all in on defense while other classes May opt to make themselves more glass cannons whether it be betrayer of humanity or shadowmourne the Big Ticket items are all found in the raids the good news is that raids and wrath were typically huggable even at the time and the classic versions of vanilla and TBC made pugging the top raids into mundane exercises in Phase One of Wrath classic we will have access to Knox ramas the obsidian sanctum and the eye of Eternity raids have a 10 and 25 player difficulty you are able to do both each week each difficulty has different loot tables with 25 men having the higher level and generally stronger loot rather the Lich King released a lot of raids doing them all on both difficulties every week would be a nightmare while in theory there is no such thing as having access to Too Much gear each season is going to have specific pieces of gear that are the Marquee pieces once your character is settled depending on your circumstances you may only need to run one or two raids a week in any given season Vault of archavon is a RAID instance made with an eye to pvps the raid can be found within winter grasp keep in short simple and rewards PVP gear alongside PVE Tier gear each season adds a new boss to the instance that drops loot corresponding to its season note that the deadly gear dropped from archivan does not have the rating requirement that would typically pair with the item had you bought it with arena points Vault of archavon was intended to be pluggable a slightly more elaborate World boss so it should feel like free gear you want to be doing both 10 and 25 man VOA every week but don't settle for group comps that reduce your chance to get loot if you're the third warlock in a 10-man archive on group bolt for the exit so you don't compete for drops finally let's talk about arena points arena points are very similar to Conquest points in shadowlands it is a currency that is rewarded exclusively from participation in Arena that is used to purchase the best PVP gear just like the burning Crusade arena points will be awarded weekly based on your you're Arena rating the larger brackets reward better points and you will receive your points based on which bracket rewards the most you will need to queue at least 10 games a week to receive points arena points are awarded based on a complex formula as a graph it looks something like this but this is nerdysh for this video what matters is that more rating and brackets with more players equals more points make sure you're queuing games and getting your rating up as soon as possible you know the drill this whole time you might have felt a bit overwhelmed but not to worry because wrath gearing isn't as tricky as it seems there has always been a history of insanely budgeted PVE items in Wow's history and if you played BFA you're probably already used to grinding PVE Dungeons and raids for some Choice trinkets but in season 5 most PVE items are easily accessible for the average player and the progression system itself feels very unique these days PVP gearing has been flattened into its most safe and boring version of itself we've lost a certain magic the process of gearing in shadowlands is linear all PVP gear comes from these dudes the destination is never in doubt For Better or Worse Wrath of the Lich King will not be like shadowlands your PVP journey in Wrath classic will see you storm the beaches of the strand of the Ancients slay some dragons and try to scheme your way to a greatness card like your Mr Burns best in slot is not a certainty you won't be able to mimic what you see on streams the best you can do is throw yourself at the game build the best character you can and give yourself every opportunity to get lucky sometimes you win sometimes you lose but in both cases you'll have stories so get out there and slay some dragons we'll let you off the hook this one time and after you're done slaying those dragons you'll be ready to dominate those nerds in Arena with our rating game guarantee visit the link below to get exclusive access to premium wrath guides and get ahead of the competition today alright guys that wraps it up for this one let us know your thoughts in the comments below as always though we want to thank you all for watching see you soon
