This belt is one of the best in the game, and can take you all the way to end-game Hardmode Ulduar content. While Star-beaded black clutch bag Clutch is the best belt in the game, you should consider passing it to your resto druid first. Tunic of the Artifact Guardian is the best mana item for this slot, but it lacks the output of the other alternatives. The 4 piece set bonus for Holy Paladins is really powerful, so you should aim to buy Heroes’ Redemption Tunic from badges early. The Fallout Impervious Tunic and Chestplate of the Great Aspects are extremely strong options, far better stat wise than Valorous Redemption Tunic. It is worth noting that Traditionally Dyed Handguards are on-par with the tier gloves, and only fall behind when you unlock a set bonus. The Winter Spectacle Gloves have the best stats of any gloves, but they don’t come close to the value of the Tier 7 4 piece set bonus. Not only is it flawlessly itemized, but it also helps you obtain your tier 10 2 piece set bonus that is extremely powerful.
Beadwork Bags – Purse, Floral Clutch,Medicine Bag: Included in this lot for bidding is a set of three beadwork bags. What kinds of closures can you find on evening bags? If you are looking for an immediate option upon hitting level 80, you can purchase the Spellweave Gloves off the aucion house. Upon hitting 80, consider purchasing Plate Girdle of Righteousness. If you are unable to acquire any of them, consider purchasing Titanium Spellshock Necklace off the auction house. We highly recommend purchasing this best for the purposes of stepping into Ulduar. Treads of Destiny are one of the best boots in the game, and Poignant Sabatons should be quite cheap if you are lacking gold. Legs should be one of your four tier pieces. If you don’t yet have your 4 piece, these are powerful pieces to use in the interim. To secure 4pc, tier legs are ideal over the alternatives given the strength of other options. To secure 4pc, tier helmet is ideal over the alternatives given the strength of other options. However, using tier in the other 4 slots and using an offpiece helmet is completely fine.
However, gloves are a great piece to exclude if you have either Pharos Gloves or Gauntlets of the Thunder God, but do not yet have a powerful chest piece. They are, however, uncontested so it is recommended that you pass on non-plate bracers such as Grasps of Reason and hold out. All bracers in this slot are very close in effectiveness. While it is not advisable to go for non-tier items in this slot, Noble Birthright Pauldrons & Elevated Lair Pauldrons are both excellent pieces because of their raw stats. Drape of the Sullen Goddess is itemized differently than the other pieces on this list, but due to its massive intellect value is the best cloak in the game. Both caster rewards from Heroic Judgment at the Eye of Eternity are the best necklaces in the game for us. It is not recommended that you take Sunglimmer from a caster. If you don’t yet have Abetment Bracers, we recommend using Cuffs of the Shadow Ascendant and letting other players take Unsullied Cuffs and Bindings of the Decrepit. Cuffs of the Shadow Ascendant is the best option for this slot, but costs a pretty penny.
Charm of Meticulous Timing is far and away the best necklace in the game, and with the recent XT HM nerfs, shouldn’t be too difficult to obtain. Pennant Cloak is the best cape in the game for Holy Paladins outside of Ulduar, and even holds up extremely well compared to any cloak that drops in Ulduar 10/25. Don’t miss an OS lockout until you acquire this piece! The 4 piece set bonus for Holy Paladins is really powerful, so you should aim to buy Heroes’ Redemption Gloves from badges early. It should be noted that given the power of the T7 4pc set-bonus, Heroes’ Redemption Greaves blows the other options out of the water. Heroes’ Redemption Spaulders are far and away better than the other options, especially if it allows you to acquire your 4pc T7 set-bonus. Pauldrons of the Spirit Walker are statted identically to your tier shoulders, Turalyon’s Spaulders of Triumph with lots of crit and haste. Luckily, Thorim (25) (HM) drops a solid piece to use in the interim: Pauldrons of the Combatant. Leggings of Voracious Shadows are very well optimized, and can be a nice alternative to use before you have your 4 piece.
