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
The only Horde option. Arcane Torrent returns mana for Holy and doubles as an AoE silence / interrupt for Retribution and Protection.
Retribution wants the Sword / Mace expertise; Holy and Protection lean on The Human Spirit and Every Man for Himself. Draenei (Gift of the Naaru, party +1% hit) and Dwarf (Stoneform clears bleeds, poisons and disease — a strong Prot cooldown) are both viable.
Notes
Real creator tips from Scatty (Vista):
- Hit food is required. Same goes for Glyph of Seal of Vengeance. Nitro boots hungry engineers could supplement the missing hit thru 1 more Vivid Eye of Zul & prayer, that missing 2 hit wont kill them suplement even 1 Vivid Eye of Zul in belt for Rigid King’s Amber for extra safety. Ally players with draenei in group could utilize their 1% of hit, thru chnage according number of Vivid Eye of Zul for Solid Majestic Zircon.
- Alternative to "The Black Heart" is "Royal Seal of King Llane" (Yogg-saron 10), which has 29 stamina more, but I value that HUGE 7056 armor proc of Heart (what saved my ass numerous times) more, than 380 parry provided by Royal Seal, although its indisputable advantage is, that you can activate it, whenever it suits you the most.
