    Lightbulb Lvl 60 Twink

    Hey everyone, this is my first post on here btw.

    Ok, so I started playing last year, and I've heard a lot about how awesome raiding in vanilla and BC was, and I want to try something like that, obviously it'd never be the same, but I would love to even try.

    So, I have a warrior that I'm leveling, so I want to twink him at 60 and go with some friends in classic raids, dungs, etc, and want to get the best raid gear. I'll also get the 60 pvp gear, but that wont work for the raids lol. So, what set would be the best? Would the BWL set be the best? I'm not sure. Thanks for any help from all you original players.

    AQ40, since Naxx40 gear is no longer obtainable.

    AQ 40 is ya best bet but personally I like BWL gear because it looks cool (T2)

    Whatever has the best stats for you is what you go with. As far as I know, most of the set bonuses are irrelevant in today's world.

    What he said. Mostly AQ40 but perhaps some BWL. Also you could also get some socketed TBC gear but you'd have to do some maths to make out if the gems would be worth sacrificing set bonus and such. Also if you're fury try to get the legendaries Sulfuras and Thunderfury and dualwield them just because :P

    Edit: I don't consider level 60 gear stats to be very effective to how classes work nowdays (a lot of plate gear had agility and such, but I guess it was fine at the time since it gave you dodge)

    What it really sounds like is that you want to find a private vanilla server. But, AQ40 has the highest item level gear, though back then , you had resist gear fights, and that required doing each raid in order to get the proper resist gear for the next tier. It also required you to farm from lower level dungeons to also get certain resist gear. Then there are things like Onyxia's Lair and Naxxramas and ZG, that are no longer in game at that level, so you are sort of gimped a little from that respect as well.

    Back in vanilla agility gave dodge, crit, and a small amount of armor, Crit on equipment as we see it onw was non-existent outside a few cases or the speccs (which came in 5% versions that stacked additively)

    Ok, thanks everyone. I'll begin getting some gear soon. Btw, for AQ40, is there an attunement process to be able to enter like MC and BWL?

    No, you just walk to the portal. Also you can enter MC and BWL without the attunement, you just have to walk through BRD/UBRS to get to the portal.

    You can still get full tier 3 naxx 40 gear but it's 10k minimum a pop off BMAH, you have to wait to get it all and you might have to pay a lot more if other people are trying to get it for tmog. They nerfed lowbie enchants and gems so twinking got the shaft big time. My 60 hunter has ten 20 agi gems in his gear and WOTLK enchants but now they're like nothing, lol. But if you still want to, black market AH tier 3 and aq40 gear is your best bet.

    not right, you have to do a little quest in UBRS to enter BWL.

    They removed that in 3.0(?).

    Remember, what you will experience is so far from vanilla that you have no idea. Its gonna require a lot less effort and wont feel nearly as satisfying.
    But sure doing the raids at 60 is still fun ;D
    Like someone said, a vanilla private server is the closest thing to the real deal.

    i had to do it with my monk, so its still there. You can run through UBRS and use the portal but u cant use the stone outside to teleport directly to BWL.

    but none the less, blizz changed the classes so you will miss a lot of core talents if you just stay at 60. i tried to play at 60 as well, but its not really fun, if you miss out the most good talents.

    Yes, that's the attunement, but you don't need to do it in order to enter the instance. I tought you were talking about the old quest you needed to do to get an item that opened the door to UBRS.

    I clearly remember that there was crit on gear, giving a flat % increase instead of rating.

    IS there such thing right now as a private vanilla server? That sounds cool, but I doubt it.
    I think doing some raids with friends will be fun, but if it isnt, at least I get some nice tmog gear lol.

    So, I"ll make sure to go through MC, BWL (I'll do the full attunement, I've done it before a couple times, so it shouldn't be too hard), and AQ40, and look at the BMAH. Thanks.
