Maybe people wouldn't instantly downvote you if you didn't spread total bullshit over dozens of forums for the past 5 years.

1.9 doesn't update the items, just Mage Warlock and Paladin T2 But the War Effort is a massive undertaking

Open source? Can we see your progress on AQ scripting?

Oh no, dungeon loot was ninja'd! Hey guys, this guy ninja'd dungeon loot!!! See? Nobody cares.

Ret is very strong while leveling since they are relatively gear independent. Seal of the Crusader will carry you extremely hard, and you won't really feel the fall off until around BRD. By the time you get to that point, however, you should have some sort of heal set. You don't really need a bunch of +Heal, just a mana pool that doesn't evaporate instantly. Pre-Raid Holy BiS starts dropping in BRD anyways, so it really is in your best interest to be healing by that point.

50/50 Horde have a geographical advantage in most zones, this was intentional design by Blizzard to entice people to play Horde, since most of the favorite Warcraft RTS heroes were related in some form to the Alliance. It didn't work, retail Vanilla was still massively Alliance dominated. The Horde's geographical advantage gave them somewhat a more even footing. On private servers, however, we end up with situations like this where population is 50/50 but one side has an inherent advantage. End-game is quite even. While leveling, ganking definitely happens to both sides, but expect to be ganked more if playing Alliance.

And nobody in their right mind would use the other set either, and for the exact same reason. Dungeon blues and greens are better than those pieces.

play holy reck, heal and one-shot FCs and rogues, ez game ez life if you want to have fun, play whatever, it doesn't matter, but if you want to rank and/or premade, holy or holy reck

Spell Power builds were killed in a recent patch anyways, you don't need to every worry about it as long as the devs keep taking away our fun 8% is enough if you are using Nightfall (which you should be). Not sure if Nightfall is available on the fresh realms yet though. If using a mace or sword, 6% should be enough at 305 skill. Consecrate is generally not worth using single-target anymore at any rank. You are better off using your mana for cleanse or other utility spells, most of which do not interrupt your attack timer. You cannot tank with just Redoubt. The main problem is that you won't have effective threat generation without some of the higher tier talents, or high spell power levels, which you won't have for a very long time. SoR builds are dead. The rank sets are amazing for PvP, that's about it. Once you are able to judge crusader (if ever), the gloves become very very strong.

Fixed a couple of non-existant items on Darrowshire's list. @Luxonn Robe of Volatile Power is incredibly powerful since crit is king, especially early on when your options are extremely limited. Shard of the Scale and Mindtap Talisman are chosen largely due to the lack of available alternatives. Of course you still want a non-regen 2nd trinket for fights that you don't need the regen. The Dire Maul class trinket is hot garbage but it's the next best thing. MP5 is valuable early on when your crit levels are shit, so Shard of the Scale and Mindtap Talisman are quite strong. However, by the time you start picking up BWL pieces, you want to start dropping your MP5 pieces for pieces with more crit and int. As for Band of Rumination, it's the same situation. 1% crit 5 MP5 is going to be stronger than 18 heal 7 int in pretty much every situation. Again, if you don't need the regen, the 18 heal is better, but at this gear level, you're going to need the regen. @HappyPotato The Elysium/Zeth'Kur list will be updated when I have time, hopefully soon. It shouldn't be too difficult of a list to make anyways.

@Zunnie you're wrong fite me

I personally used Verigan's Fist until Bonebiter. It's insanely strong, especially if you can get it around the level the quest becomes available
