Cataclysm Gear: Mail

DPS in Mail

In Cataclysm, Enhancement Shamans and Hunters tend to wear much of the same gear. Their shared, primary attribute is Agility (their primary source of Attack Power), but they also benefit from Crit, Haste, and Mastery. Both classes need Hit, but Shamans need much more Hit than Hunters do. Like Rogues and other physical dps classes, Shamans also need a reasonable level of Expertise (enough to counteract the Dodge ability of their targets), but Hunters should avoid Expertise entirely.

Tailoring

  1. Only for Hunters.
  2. Not ideal for Hunters.
  3. Not ideal for Shamans.
  4. Not for Hunters.
  5. Although technically this is a quest reward from the Darkmoon Faire, Scribes (inscriptionists) make the Winds cards that compose the Hurricane Deck, which is exchanged for the trinket.
  6. Since plate-wearing dps is the only group that gets no accessories from jewelcrafters, I can only believe one of these necklaces and one of these rings were supposed to have Strength instead of Agility.
  7. This is PvP gear but, even for PvE, may be an upgrade for PvE items whose level is 346 or below. (Resilience has no effect in PvE encounters, but the other stats of this 377 PvP gear may outweigh the total stats of lower-level PvE gear.)
