About the Author

Nevermore
Hey there folks, I am Nevermore and have been deeply passionate about WoW for more than a decade. Whether we talk about the hidden mysteries of Azeroth or the otherworldly Outland, my journey brought me here to share the things that I have experienced with you all.
Terrible set for season 8, do you ask people who play the class to confirm this or just toss it together quickly? Replace Wrathful ring with Signet of Twilight, replace Death’s Choice with Whispering Fanged Skulled (Equal amount of AP, but 3.35% more crit) Cloak needs to be replaced with Victory and NOT Triumph. This is the most stat optimal set-up on a 87 days of total play time Ret Paladin.
What if I don’t have 87 days played, what is my most optimal set-up then?
This doesnt even get hit cap with your “BIS” gear wtf
Wtf bro? Dark Matter is not season 5, its Ulduar item..
This list will be receiving an instant update as soon as possible. The data was added way before we even had the WOTLK Classic Beta.
any update?
