These boots are our BiS as they are just better Maly boots that we got in the last phase and give us a crit amount and sockets.

Both of these rings are very contested but, are insanely good. To pass up on these rings would be very foolish. there are many other rings that drop and I would suggest swimming them and checking as there are many good rings you can put in place of the BiS rings.

Wrong leggings u put the feral leggings in the bislist, also arnt this list way under the hitcap? imean i got like 270 and its 10.29% hit and then u have 3% from FF and 4% from spec.since u need about 17% to be capped
Head = 64 Hit
Back = 46 Hit
Weapon = 44 Hit
OH = 58 Hit
Legs = 63 Hit
Ends up at 275 Hit Rating, or 10.48%
Imp. FF/Misery give 3%, putting you at 13.48%
Balance of Power gives 4%, putting you at 17.48%, 0.48% over the hit cap.
The Phase 2 set is absolutely fine on Hit.
Hey there, I’m curious why Damnation is better than Torch of Holy Fire + Matriarch’s Spawn? Swapping those weapons puts Haste at 574 with significantly more SP.
So you are actually correct and that is my mistake on the guide. I ended up mis prioing some of the items on this BiS list and I’m changing it as we speak. I ended up prioing the caps and making sure i hit them perfectly which just isn’t possible unless you sacrifice a ton of extra SP
Hi, the eightyupgrades link you have for the phase 1 BiS set is extremely misleading. You have six different professions slotted for upgrades in your gear. You have Engineering enchants, Ring Enchants, Inscription shoulders, Jewelcrafting specific gems, Leatherworking bracers enchant, and Tailoring enchants.
This is super misleading. It would be beneficial to pick the two BiS professions (Engineering and Tailoring) and remove all the other excess. Your set has almost 200 additional spellpower which is completely unobtainable. You also don’t have a gem in your belt which is obtainable by anyone through a belt buckle.
This is an extremely sloppy BiS list. It looks like very little thought or effort went into this.
I appreciate the criticism. You are in fact correct about how their is a ton of SP that’s added and can’t be used by the majority of players but I made the 80 upgrades as a sample build and everyone can feel free to just copy and remove/change the list as they see fit. By adding all these professions already, it’s a lot easier Just remove what they know they can’t use. The 80 upgrades is meant to be a sample and not the final end all be all as that sometimes isn’t a possibility based on prios and how each person wants to run their character. There will also be people who will level a profession and then drop it and will obtain the extra 200sp after they enchant rings, shoulder enchants, ect. In reality this is a possible BiS list for some players and I want to make sure everyone can see the potential for the boomkin.
I agree with this take! I enjoyed having them all. The professions page is great! It really broke it down, exactly what I was looking for. More info = better
Should we not be getting the tier gloves and chest form the Heroism vender?
Great question, you absolutely can and I would recommend it but if your just trying to jump right into Raids and not do heroics for a week, this is what you want to be going for!
why do u choose this mace over the kt one?
Great question! Well first off, it will probably go to healers first, so if your in an LC chances are you won’t score it till later. Second off, the KT mace has haste we don’t really need. The impossible dream has the same amount of SP and has the same Crit but has spirt. As I’m sure you know, spirit = spell power so it’s actually better to have the spell power then unused haste.
Idol of the unseen moon
That Item is hot garbage and should not be used in any of the first 2 phases
this set is actually better https://eightyupgrades.com/set/jR1Xjn9JXbTUgEJZB5Nzag
Might I ask why?
better SP, better crit, better haste?
So if you are to refer to the stat prior page (https://www.warcrafttavern.com/wotlk/guides/pve-balance-druid-stat-priority/) you will find that there are caps to stats like haste. As of right now, 80 upgrades does not have raid buffs built in so, you need to accommodate for that. Once you add raid buffs to your list you linked above, you will find you are over-the-haste cap, which will hurt your DPS quite a lot. Also, the set I put together does have a little less SP but 2% more crit which is way more important of a stat as that dictates the switches between eclipse phases.
But most good raid comp will only have a spellhance so you won’t get wrath of air totem, therefore I’m far from the 585 haste soft cap:
Wrath of air becomes raid wide in wrath
I know but won’t spellhance put down windfury totem? so you won’t have wrath of air on your raid
Frost DK has icy talons and that is far better and sadly they do not stack.
