Caps & Requirements
Hit/expertise caps shift a lot at this gear level — the creator notes below (and the full mechanics writeup in the Herald & Argent guide) cover the real per-build requirements.
Best Races
Blood Fury is the standard pick. Axe Specialization also covers fist weapons (+5 expertise), which matters for Combat fist builds — daggers get nothing from it.
Sword / Mace Specialization suits Combat sword builds with +3 expertise; Every Man for Himself for utility. Night Elf’s Quickness (+2% dodge) is DPS-neutral flavour.
Notes
Alternatives are listed where two items are close enough that raid composition, luck or professions decide between them.
