Gear List: HOTT Plate

Gear List: HOTT Plate
Current Wowcraft build: 4.2.0.

HOTT Index

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you use this list only as a starting guide, but do your own poking around, check Wowhead, check Atlasloot, and build your own list. If I've missed a piece of gear you feel should be on this list, please don't hesitate to drop me a note about it. I'm just one person, I can't make a complete 10m raid's gear list on my own without a few holes.

ALSO: Excepting the occasional Sarth25 drop, I have avoided linking raid gear. So many of those pieces have a less than 50% drop rate so if you want to look those up and add them to your personal list, I encourage you to do so. This list is intended to be more of a cheat-sheet, the easiest ways to get the necessary ilvl. Priority is crafting, JP, and 5m dungeons.

REGARDING DPS: since there are many plate dps classes and I'm no longer familiar with the intricacies of whether Arms/Fury/Ret/DK/theotherDKdpsspec wants hit/crit/haste/expt/stuff/doom/pants, this list is more or less going to link anything not-tanky of the appropriate ilvl.

PLATE


HELM
Plate Helm

226 set helmet tokens are 770JP (or drop from Thorim25).

TANKS
-- If for some reason you find yourself JP-strapped, you might be able to luck into a Helm of the Crestfallen Challenger (219) from 2nd-boss HTOC (14% drop)

DPS
-- Obsidian Greathelm (226) from Sarth25.
-- Skeleton Lord's Cranium (219) from POSreg

HEALS
-- Greathelm of the Silver Hand (219) HORreg, 11% drop



SHOULDER
Plate Shoulder

The 226 set shoulders are boss-drop only, a token off Yogg-Saron 25m. The 219 set shoulders come from Thorim 10m.

TANKS
-- Regal Aurous Shoulderplates (219) HTOC (Confessor, 12% drop).

DPS
-- Majestic Silversmith Shoulderplates (219) from HTOC (Eadric)

HEALS
-- Valonforth's Tarnished Pauldrons (219) HORreg (Falric 15%)



CHEST
Plate Chest

226 set token for 770 JP (or from Hodir25m).

TANKS
-- Scourgelord's Frigid Chestplate (219) POSreg (Tyrannus 15%)

DPS
-- Lost Reliquary Chestguard (219) from reg FOS (10% drop)

HEALS
-- There does not appear to be a 219 Int chest.
-- At least there is Chestplate of the Great Aspects (213) from Sarth25 (20%). But you should still go for the set chest.



WRIST
Plate Wrist

The pittance of non-raid options is more than made up for in the fact that the easiest option is the 213 BOE 347JP, which your main can buy and mail to your HOTT char. 213 is not ideal for HOTT, but it's better than a 200 blue.

TANKS
-- Mimiron's Inferno Couplings (226) from FL25reg (15%)
-- Flamewatch Armguards (219) from FL10reg (16%)
-- It is worth considering if you would rather farm the Unholy Command (see DPS list) and ... try to reforge them to be more tank-worthy. Good luck with that, IMO. Either way, you can't escape the fact that other than the BOE, the only two better actually-tanky wrists are from Flame Levi.
-- Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets (213) for 347JP

DPS
-- Vambraces of Unholy Command (219) from HTOC
-- Wristbands of the Sentinel Huntress (213) for 347JP

HEALS
-- Brace Guards of the Starless Night (219) FOSreg (15%)
-- Zartson's Jungle Vambraces (213) for 347JP
-- Bone Frame Bracers from Noth! Don't actually wear these for HOTT, I just had to mention them. It's kind of a personal in-joke I guess.



HANDS
Plate Hands

226 non-tier gloves are available for 487JP. 226 set gloves are a rare drop (2-3%) from Emalon25, or the tokens are from Mimiron25 or Freya10 (219).

TANKS
-- Gauntlets of the Royal Watch (226) (non-set) for 487JP
-- Crystalline Citadel Gauntlets (219) from HORreg chest (10%)
-- 213 set gloves come from 'Gauntlets of the Lost' token from Sarth25, an average of a 50% drop across the 4 tank classes (but strongly consider passing this up, you want either the CCG or the Royal Watch).

DPS
-- Bladebreaker Gauntlets (226) (non-set) for 487JP
-- Plated Grips of Korth'azz (219) a zone drop from the ICC5s.

HEALS
-- Gauntlets of Serene Blessing (226) (non-set) for 487JP
-- Gauntlets of Revelation (219) from HTOC
-- The 213 set gloves can come from a token from Sarth25 (Paladins share with Priests and Warlocks)



WAIST
Plate Waist

There are two good options for all roles, either a 226 crafted belt from a rare-ish-drop pattern from Ulduar bosses (10mHards and 25mReg), or a 226 belt for 487 JP.

TANKS
-- Indestructible Plate Girdle (226) Ulduar pattern.
-- Shieldwarder Girdle (226) 487 JP.
-- Titanium Links of Lore (219) - a ridiculously rare-drop-rate belt from (reg?) ICC5s.

DPS
-- Belt of the Titans (226) Ulduar pattern
-- Belt of the Singing Blade (226) 487JP
-- Bent Gold Belt (219) from POSreg (Ick)

HEALS
-- Plate Girdle of Righteousness (226) Ulduar pattern
-- Girdle of Unyielding Trust (226) 487JP
-- Trueheart Girdle (219) HTOC (Confessor)



LEGS
Plate Legs

226 non-set pants are vendor-bought for 770JP. The 226 set pants have a rare chance of dropping from Emalon25, or the token comes from Freya25reg. 219 set pants come from Emalon10 or a token from Hodir10.

TANKS
-- Gilded Steel Legplates (226) - really nice, really rare (5%) from Flame Levi 10.
-- Wyrmguard Legplates(226) for 770JP.
-- Legplates of Frozen Granite (219) from Devourer of Souls reg

DPS
-- Legplates of the Violet Champion (226) for 770JP
-- Legplates of Relentless Onslaught (219) from HTOC
-- Minister's Number One Legplates (219) from regFOS

HEALS
-- Legguards of the Peaceful Covenant (226) for 770JP
-- Legplates of the Argent Armistice (219) HTOC (Eadric 13%)



FEET
Plate Feet

Again, a good option here is a 226 crafted boots from a rare-ish-drop pattern from Ulduar bosses (10mHards and 25mReg). There are also 213 boots for 417JP if you have to; again, not idea to go into Algalon with 213 but it's better than 200.

TANKS
-- Spiked Deathdealers (226) Ulduar pattern
-- Sollerets of Suffering (219) from FOSreg (Devourer)
-- Kyzoc's Ground Stompers (213) for 417JP

DPS
-- Battlelord's Plate Boots (226) Ulduar pattern
-- Plated Greaves of Providence (219) HTOC
-- Bladed Steelboots (213) for 417 JP

HEALS
-- Treads of Destiny (226) Ulduar pattern
-- There do not appear to be 219 boots from HTOC, ICC5regs, or any non-raiding source. Please let me know if I'm missing something.
-- Sabatons of Rapid Recovery (213) for 417 JP
