Sim this build

Everything here can be had before the first raid opens, and the gear search picked the strongest mix of it from dungeon and quest items, crafts, reputation rewards and vendor goods whose Forever stats are published. It is built on spell damage, with hit and crit wherever an item carries them, and it averages item level 59.6. Most of it is crafted or sold by a vendor, so gold and reputation get you further than dungeon luck.

The rows under each slot show what the next items would cost you on this fight. A cost marked "level" is too small for the simulation to tell apart from nothing.

Staff and relic

Ironbark Staff is the main hand on every fight, for its 94 spell damage and 2 % crit. It is an Exalted reward from your faction's Arathi Basin reputation, so start on that early. Until you have it, Crackling Staff costs 15.5 DPS on this fight.

Totem of the Storm adds up to 33 damage to Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning, and it is a world drop that binds on equip, so you can buy it. The other relics in our pool add nothing to damage, which is why the next one costs 10.7 DPS. Totem of Thunder, a crafted relic with 1 % Lightning Bolt crit, isn't in Wowhead's Forever gear planner yet, so our pool doesn't have it.

Trinkets

Nothing in the set is harder to replace than Talisman of Ascendance: the next trinket costs 16.3 DPS. Its lead is overstated, though. In game its stacks end after your sixth spell, while our simulator keeps them for the full 20 seconds. Weakness Analyzer is sold by Pix Xizzix in Stranglethorn Vale, and its use, 5 % crit until your next crit, isn't simulated, so it is worth a little more than its row shows.

Crafts

Blue Dragonscale Helm and Ironfeather Leggings come from Leatherworking and bind on equip, so anyone can buy them. Going without costs 6.9 DPS at the head and 9.4 DPS at the legs. Mantle of the Timbermaw and Belt of the Archmage are Tailoring crafts you can buy as well.

On one boss the gloves are Gloves of the Greatfather, an item level 38 Leatherworking craft that carries 24 spell damage and 10 Nature damage. Storm Gauntlets is as good (level) and takes the slot against three bosses.

The rest

Three pieces come from Pix Xizzix: Arcanoweave Cloak, Blessed Band of Light and the Weakness Analyzer, each with 1 % hit or a use. Brilliant Watcher's Signet is a reward at Exalted with The Watchers.

Enchants

  • Staff: Mighty Spell Power, 55 spell damage.
  • Head and legs: Arcanum of Focus on both.
  • Hands: Natural Power, 20 Nature damage. Its formula, like the staff's, needs Enchanting 300 and Honored reputation.
  • Chest and feet: Mystic Rugged Armor Kit, worth 6 spell damage in each slot.
  • Wrist: Healing Power, whose 24 healing comes with 8 spell damage. Neck: Spell Power, a slot Forever added to enchanting.

Consumables

Always bring a Flask of Supreme Power, worth 13.7 % on this fight, and a Greater Arcane Elixir for 3.2 %. For mana, a Major Mana Potion adds 0.4 % and a Demonic Rune 0.0 %. The two mana items earn their place on long fights and against packs. On one boss for a minute you can leave them in your bags.

Smaller gains come from Cerebral Cortex Compound at 0.8 % and Runn Tum Tuber Surprise at 0.9 %. Mageblood Elixir adds 0.5 %, and Elixir of Fire Power only 0.3 %, because it reaches just your Fire spells.
