Priest · Holy / Discipline pre-raid gear
+Healing and spirit. Tailoring makes the chest; the rest is Scholomance, Stratholme and a few BoEs.
These are the Classic-era community consensus pieces for each slot from dungeons, quests, reputation and crafting. World of Warcraft: Forever changed more than 290 items in the Oct 15 beta build and added nine new dungeons whose loot is not yet published, so treat this as the shopping list to start from, not the final word. We will swap in Forever-specific pieces as soon as they are documented after the Nov 4 launch.
