Druid Faction Gear

There is good news for Druid fans. Here we will touch upon the faction gear for Druids. What if you are running lots of dungeons and getting acquainted with the array of drops on both normal and heroic modes are available at that moment.

For both the Alliance and Horde factions in Wrath, the reputation rewards are identical, so you're not missing out on anything whether you level a Night Elf or Tauren through Northrend. With that said, don't prioritize this faction beyond what you need to do for the head enchant if you PvP a lot or want the extra stamina for tanking; here there really isn't much beyond that and an off-hand that's easily replaced.

We'll discuss the rep grinds that become accessible a little earlier in the trek to 80 --the Tuskarr, the Alliance Vanguard/Horde Expedition, Wyrmrest Accord, Kirin Tor, and Oracles/Frenzyheart. Next we'll cover the Knights of the Ebon Blade, the Argent Crusade, and Sons of Hodir, as you're not likely to see these guys as early as you'll see the others. Indeed, before a quest line that phases the lady into existence, you won't see the Knights of the Ebon Blade quartermaster at all.

You should have a bit of Argent rep under your belt by the time you reach the Argent Vanguard in Icecrown, especially if you're good about doing the Argent dailies in Zul'drak. Yes, even the super-annoying alchemy one. Hey, Finklestein! Try finding your own damn ingredients in that pigsty of a stockroom! The lack of organizational know-how in this faction leaves me with very little optimism over their chances versus Arthas, but that's no reason not to make off with some decent gear before Arthas wins the inevitable triumph of the good guys.

Cloak of Holy Extermination is a cat DPS cloak, although we would have preferred +crit or +hit in the place of the armor penetration which doesn't do anything for our Rake or Rip damage. Even so, armor penetration as a stat isn't bad if you already have a lot of it, but you can get a better cloak a level earlier in Halls of Stone. However, there is still a decent option if you need something to get you to 80.

Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector is the best helm enchant for tanks in the game. Revered with the Argent Crusade isn't hard to get if you're religious about wearing their (pretty awesome) tabard in level 80 dungeons and heroics, or if you've done all of the AC quests in Dragon-blight, Zul'drak, and Icecrown. If you plan on tanking any heroics or raids, get this enchant as quickly as possible. Argent Skeleton Crusher- Revered, level 80: The reason we include this 2H mace for consideration is that it'll be an okay weapon for ferals once we scale with weapon DPS rather than feral attack power. There're better feral weapons out there. Without doubt, it will be usable once the weapon changes go live. It ensures that you should be running your furry ass off in heroic Violet Hold to get Staff of Trickery instead of having to use this. And as long as you're in heroic VH, pick up Cloak of the Gushing Wound too, which will easily replace Cloak of Holy Extermination if you didn't get the Halls of Stone cloak.

Boots of the Neverending Path is the best pre-raid piece for cats, especially if you're hurting for +hit, which you probably are with all that +haste and +penetration crap on leather. The notion of "sharing" gear with rogues might have left you with the impression that getting +hit on leather was going to be a piece of cake, but apparently that's not the case; there is a ghastly lack of +hit on the leather you're likely to be hitting 80 with.

Signet of Hopeful Light are bandying about as an excellent choice for Paladin and Shaman healers. Although it's the latest in a line of reputation caster gear entirely devoid of +hit. With no spirit, it's a decidedly mediocre ring for Restoration.
