In this guide, I will go over what each boss drops for you in Auchindoun on heroic difficulty, and I’ll try and highlight particular pieces to aim for based on their stats! Things change, however, and so do stat priorities. If things change massively, I will obviously edit this and future guides, but at the moment, the best secondary stats for each spec in Warlords is as follows:
- Affliction: Mastery ~ Haste > Crit ~ Multistrike > Versatility
- Demonology: Mastery > Haste > Multistrike ~ Crit > Versatility
- Destruction: Crit = Mastery > Haste = Multistrike > Versatility
Also, it’s important to note that a lot of these pieces of gear drop from more than one boss! Weapons and trinkets appear to be tied to specific bosses, but other gear types can drop from many.
So with that in mind, let’s start with:
Vigilant Kaathar
Remember, all heroic dungeon drops are item level 630!
Kamui’s Crystalline Staff of Wizardry
2h Staff
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+118 Versatility
+958 Spell Power
+101 Mastery
There’s better weapons out there, probably.
Cord of Arcane Mystery
Waist
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+72 Critical Strike
+91 Haste
Good in a pinch for any spec if you can’t get anything better!
Cord of Swirling Light
Waist
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+84 Versatility
+84 Mastery
Every spec likes Mastery! Every spec doesn’t really care about Versatility.
Felflame Belt
Waist
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+74 Critical Strike
+90 Multistrike
Possibly good for Destruction.
Frost-Touched Cord
Waist
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+86 Critical Strike
+80 Mastery
Great for all specs! Destruction in particular.
Lightbinder Girdle
Waist
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+89 Haste
+76 Multistrike
Tasty for Affliction in particular
Darkflame Loop
Ring
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+60 Haste
+65 Mastery
Affliction and Demonology ring of choice. Nice for Destruction too!
Diamondglow Circle
Ring
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+66 Critical Strike
+57 Haste
The, um, other ring of choice.
Golem’s Gleaming Eye
Ring
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+69 Critical Strike
+52 Versatility
Crit makes it okay if you can’t get anything else.
Mark of Ice
Ring
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+63 Critical Strike
+63 Multistrike
Destruction wants this.
Signet of Shifting Magics
Ring
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+49 Versatility
+71 Mastery
You probably can guess what I may say about Versatility by now, but the Mastery on this item makes it nice for any spec at a push.
Soulbinder Nyami
Soulcutter Mageblade
Main Hand Sword
+72 Intellect
+107 Stamina
+51 Critical Strike
+42 Haste
+956 Spell Power
If you’re going for a 1H/OH combination instead of just plumping for a staff, this is good for all specs, but Teron’gor later on drops something better. ’cause Mastery.
Alc’s Pendant of Fiery Dreams
Neck
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+64 Mastery
+61 Multistrike
Every spec likes Mastery, and Affliction is liking Multistrike most at the moment. Item of choice for Affliction!
Demonbinder Cabochon
Neck
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+72 Haste
+48 Versatility
Have a guess. You can do better.
Magister’s Chain
Neck
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+63 Critical Strike
+63 Mastery
Demonology necklace of choice.
Necklace of Endless Shadow
Neck
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+67 Critical Strike
+55 Versatility
Every stat is so much better than Versatility at the moment.
Felflame Robes
Chest
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+106 Versatility
+115 Mastery
Mastery! Versatility. There’s better out there.
Frost-Touched Robes
Chest
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+113 Critical Strike
+109 Versatility
No.
Lightbinder Robes
Chest
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+95 Haste
+121 Mastery
Demonology? Affliction? Go for this one.
Robes of Arcane Mystery
Chest
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+127 Critical Strike
+85 Haste
Probably best for Destruction. Sad there’s no Crit/Mastery robe.
Robes of Swirling Light
Chest
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+103 Critical Strike
+116 Multistrike
Your second choice for all 3 specs.
Azzakel
Bracers of Arcane Mystery
Wrist
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+63 Critical Strike
+63 Haste
Affliction all the way!
Bracers of Swirling Light
Wrist
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+55 Versatility
+67 Multistrike
Nope.
Felflame Bracers
Wrist
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+49 Haste
+71 Multistrike
Good as a second choice.
Frost-Touched Wristwraps
Wrist
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+48 Critical Strike
+72 Mastery
Demonology and DEFINITELY Destruction want this one!
Lightbinder Wristwraps
Wrist
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+57 Haste
+66 Versatility
Versatility sounds so good on paper, but every other secondary is just way better.
Felflame Grips
Hands
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+84 Versatility
+84 Multistrike
Usual Vers advice.
Frost-Touched Gloves
Hands
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+80 Versatility
+86 Mastery
Mastery is always good.
Gloves of Arcane Mystery
Hands
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+70 Haste
+92 Mastery
Certainly best for Affliction and Demonology. Maybe Destruction too.
Gloves of Swirling Light
Hands
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+76 Critical Strike
+89 Multistrike
Destruction is loving Crit, and Multistrike is always fun to see, let alone use.
Lightbinder Gloves
Hands
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+96 Critical Strike
+64 Haste
Possibly a better choice than the above. Marginally.
Teron’gor
Dagger of the Sanguine Emeralds
Main Hand Dagger
+72 Intellect
+107 Stamina
+36 Haste
+956 Spell Power
+54 Mastery
I mentioned this weapon above. If you favour a 1h/offhand setup, then this is your weapon of choice for Demonology and Affliction.
Cloak of Arcane Mysteries
Back
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+63 Haste
+63 Mastery
Haste and Mastery are both tasty stats for any spec, so if you don’t have the legendary cloak (believe it or not, it’s still best in slot at this point!) this is a good alternative.
Drape of Frozen Dreams
Back
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+66 Critical Strike
+57 Mastery
Cloak of choice for Destruction, barring the legendary cloak.
Felbone Drape
Back
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+72 Critical Strike
+48 Haste
Decent third choice if you haven’t got the legendary cloak, and the Haste/Mastery one doesn’t drop.
Forgeflame Greatcloak
Back
+94 Intellect
+141 Stamina
+65 Versatility
+60 Multistrike
You really want the Arcane Mysteries one. Not this one.
Felflame Legwraps
Legs
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+87 Versatility
+126 Multistrike
Whopping chunk of Multistrike which is lovely. That’s nearly 2% worth!
Frost-Touched Legwraps
Legs
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+120 Haste
+98 Versatility
A good chunk of Haste, but really any other stat would be preferable to Versatility sadly.
Leggings of Swirling Light
Legs
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+106 Mastery
+115 Multistrike
Best choice for Affliction and Demonology, and a good second choice for Destruction because MASTERY.
Lightbinder Leggings
Legs
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+118 Critical Strike
+101 Mastery
A brilliant piece for Destruction.
Trousers of Arcane Mystery
Legs
+167 Intellect
+251 Stamina
+111 Critical Strike
+111 Haste
No Mastery, but these are still a good drop for all 3 specs.
Felflame Sandals
Feet
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+89 Critical Strike
+76 Haste
Good backup for any spec.
Frost-Touched Boots
Feet
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+74 Haste
+90 Versatility
These frosty boots leave me feeling COLD. Again, Versatility is a bit of a waste at the moment.
Lightbinder Treads
Feet
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+80 Haste
+86 Mastery
Best for Demonology and Affliction thus far.
Sandals of Arcane Mystery
Feet
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+64 Critical Strike
+96 Mastery
Well hello Destruction!
Sandals of Swirling Light
Feet
+126 Intellect
+189 Stamina
+84 Versatility
+84 Multistrike
You know by now what I am going to say.
