Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
MMO-Champion
I would just like to know, does anyone know why a lot of mages and warlocks roll for spirit gear in instances? I play a warlock as my main, but levelling a priest alt and I have just noticed this happens every time a cloth item drops. Are people not aware which stats are completely useless for their class?
Just to clarify, I'm not here to complain about people taking my loot, I just want to know why they want the items.

What level range are you talking about? I know for one that there's some Spirit items that are a massive upgrade from my ICC gear on my alt due to the huge difference in Int and other stats.

Some don't care, others just don't know and some do it because they can.
It sucks but unfortunately that's how some people roll.

Then some items could still be good upgrades for mages/warlocks, eventhough they have spirit.

An upgrade is an upgrade.

Hitting cata gear with 70-80 leveling gear, i cannot see how spirit gear isn't an upgrade.

Yeah, that can happen too, it just depends on what stage of progression you're on.

shadow priests can talent to get hit from spirit.
elemental shammies can too.'Let no man deceive himself. If any one among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.'

Some people are just asshats and only care about themselves. Spirit does ZERO for a mage now and if they are rolling Need on it then they are fail imo.

He only mentioned Mages and Warlocks for the reason that they have no benefit from spirit. Originally Posted by funkyfloyd

Reforge spirit into a useful stat! If it's an overall upgrade, reforging makes it a useful item. Sure, still some spirit on it, but now a lot of that spirit is now crit/hit/haste/mastery

Maybe it's just me, but when I was leveling my lock to 85, I would've rather died than worn something 80+ with spirit on it. Upgrades aren't always worth it. My opinion is that WoW is a social game and that part of your worth, in addition to the raw stats, is how you appear to others. I don't care what the stats are if I'm going to look (rightly) stupid wearing it.

Well you must remember ppl are still learning the way things are now back in wolk mages got crit from spirit and num 2 reforging pretty much gets rid of most of the spirit and all the other stats are usefull for any caster..

No your right but its enough to make what spirit you do reforge into a usefull stat if after your reforge you still have say 30 spirit on an item what does that really hurt? I understand its not fair as some may say and I myself am a mage and I dont roll on spirit gear but I also dont see what the big deal is I mean iI guess you can blame blizz for the reforging ability because the thought process is now well 95%of the stats are for me i can make most of the other stat work for me by reforging.

I certainly do agree that while gearing up, it is "ok" to take a spirit upgrade (provided that someone who actually uses spirit doesn't need it), but justifying it by saying you can reforge "most of the spirit" away is just factually wrong. That's all I meant.

Upgrades are always worth it, because an item wouldnt be an upgrade without being an upgrade. do you see what I is sayings? Originally Posted by rethea
