Putting Some Thoughts Together.....

Pedran's picture

Pedran — Thu, 08/07/2008 - 13:20

Seriously, unless you have an extremely generous heart, and wish to donate freely, this blog is purely for tracking what gear/mats I'm going to need for getting my ShadowPriest Kara-ready while trying to get together the materials and equipment I'll need to roll Holy afterwards.   On the other hand, if I've missed something, or I'm being a douche (OMG!?!?  THAT!?!?  But this is SO much better!) then tell me.  Due to my kid being out for summer, my w0w time has been rather contricted of late because he keeps getting more and more cabin-fevered.

My goal (due to my current inability for full raiding) is to have a halfway to t4 Shadow set and a halfway to t4 Holy set, while leaning more towards good Holy gear.  Primarily I'll be staying Shadow until I have the gear to re-roll Holy.  Let's be honest, an undergeared Holy Priest is going to be destroyed on SSO dailies.  An undergeared Shadow Priest?  Might stand a chance........

Also, this will be a continually updated blog until I figure out exactly what I need.

First Step -  Bind on Equip Tailoring Recipes I need:          If you come across them, I'll buy 'em.

  • [item]Pattern: Belt of Blasting[/item] - Shadow
  • [Cloak of the Black Void] - Shadow
  • [Bracers of Havok] - Shadow
  • [Manaweave Cloak] - Shadow
  • [Cloak of Eternity] (for when my protadin comes of age)

Shadow Priest Gear:

  • Head:  [Spellstrike Hood] - I'll need to run Shattered Halls for this recipe.  Until I can make it, the [item]Evoker's Helmet of Second Sight[/item] will be a good replacement.
  • Glyph: [Glyph of Power]
  • Neckpiece: [item]Natasha's Ember Necklace[/item]   I'll use Natasha's until I can get the [Brooch of Heightened Potential] from a Heroic run of Slabs.
  • Shoulder: [Mantle of Three Terrors] - Regular Black Morass.
  • Back: [Cloak of the Black Void] This is a BoE Tailoring Recipe.  If you have it, I'll buy it.
  • Chest: [item]Kirin Tor Apprentice's Robes[/item] Have it for now for the +Spell Hit.  I'll be upgrading to the [Primal Mooncloth Robe] soon, which I'll just stack with +spell and +spell hit.
  • Wrist: [Shattrath Wraps] - Have these already.  Gonna put a +Spell in there.  [Bracers of Havok] This is also a BoE Tailoring Recipe I need, and a nice upgrade!
  • Hands: [item]Tempest's Touch[/item] KoT Quest reward, this will be temporary until I can pickup the [Gloves of Oblivion] warlock item from Shattered Halls.
  • Waist: [Primal Mooncloth Belt] Gonna stack it with +spell and +spell hit.  If I can get [Belt of Blasting] I'd rather have it, but that is ALOT of mats away. 
  • Legs: [Spellstrike Pants] Have the recipe!  All I need is the spellcloth.
  • Feet: [Shattrath Jumpers] - Stack these with +Spell hit.  [item]Sigil-Laced Boots[/item] would be a nice upgrade.
  • Ring 1: [Band of the Guardian] Quest reward from KoT
  • Ring 2: [Signet of the Violet Tower] Have it.  Better's avail, but this is a 'startup' set....
  • Trinket 1: [item]Starkiller's Bauble[/item] Underrated.  Have it.  Unfortunately shares cooldown with my other trinket.
  • Trinket 2: [Glowing Crystal Insignia] Have it.  Trinket 1 and 2 share a cooldown.  Not fun.
  • Weapon: [Runesong Dagger] Shatt Halls.  Soon as I can get the SSO.......
  • Off-Hand: [item]Star-Heart Lamp[/item] Black Morass.  Gotta get this soon.  Real soon.
  • Wand: [Voidfire Wand] Mana-Tombs.  I know, but it has +7 spell hit.  I'll most likely stick with my [Wand of the Netherwing] though and dump +spell hit elsewhere.

Hmm....... Shadow Labs two items, Black Morass for three items, Shatt Halls for three items, and I most certainly want [item]Ashyen's Gift[/item] so I'll need to keep running SV and Heroics out there.  /atarsigh   Here comes the rep grinds.....  :D Not to mention Auchidon instances for the [Seal of the Exorcist].

 I might re-write for a section at the bottom:  "Rep, which ones I need to focus on in which order".

Well, looks like I still haven't gotten to my holy gear.  Oh well.  Tommorow's a new day!

No need to justify the

karlizeth — Mon, 08/11/2008 - 08:25

No need to justify the pattern collection there; I know myself and some other tailors and enchanters have been known to buy or farm completely useless patterns just for the satisfaction of having them.  Most of the patterns you listed, however, are quite useful, and as such they'd be smart ones for you to try and obtain if you're feeling ambitious.

As for the Belt of Blasting, myself and a few other raiders can make it; you shouldn't have too much trouble finding someone in guild that can do it.

Well, the [Belt of Blasting]

Pedran — Mon, 08/11/2008 - 06:14

Well, the [Belt of Blasting] recipe I 'thought' was a boe world drop, but I guess it is only available in-raid and a bop to boot.

The rest of them?   Well.  Pride I guess.  :D   Breakfast is always better when someone else makes it, but when you do a job yourself.......

That's not to say if I manage to gather the materials together I wouldn't be asking if someone could craft X or Y for me, but I figure if I'm patient while gathering my materials I might just be able to craft everything myself.  I already have the pattern for my [Spellstrike Pants] as of this weekend, and thanks to a guildy-mgt run for my green-arse I even managed to pick-up the [Primal Nether] I needed for it.

I guess.......  you could say it's part of 'the game' as the reason why I wouldn't mind picking up the recipes and making the items myself.

 

jaibyrd - I may take you up on the cooldowns.  The only reason I haven't make the same post ....saedo?... made a while back is a distinct lack of primals.  :D   I haven't been grinding/buying the needed primals until my cooldowns have been up on both my spellcloth and mooncloth.  Speaking of which, I blew my lastest primal mooncloth cooldown this weekend, and as soon as I can grind out five more Primal Life I'll be able to craft my [Primal Mooncloth Belt], which I will promptly stack with +spell and +spell hit stones until I can get something better for my shadow-spec.  :D

karlizeth — Thu, 08/07/2008 - 14:22

Was there a reason you wanted those specific BoE patterns?  Myself and many other tailors in guild would be more than happy to craft these items for you if you like!  Just offering Tongue out
