Shoulder, Back and Wrists

[Greythan]

These three slots seem to be the most neglected across my five man team. I'm largely still in 200 level blues in these slots.

I've looked at downgrading conquest emblems to valor for the wrist/shoulders but the cost is so damn high and I still have need for 226 gear.

So, looking for any other thoughts on where folks have upgraded these three slots to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Thanks!

What class? ToC:Heroic drops some nice shoulders. I ended up buying shoulders first with my Triumph emblems, it was the greatest upgrade. Back I would just get the latest pvp one, they arent too badly itemized or buy a BoE epic from the AH.

For wrists, there are the 219 epic boe items from Uld http://www.wowhead.com/?items=4&filter=qu=4;sl=9;minle=219;maxle=219;cr=3;crs=1;cr v=0. Not all specs are covered though, so YMMV. If you are filthy rich, ilvl 245 craftables from crusader obrs will hit the market at some point.

For shoulders your only option is to grind the heroic daily to buy T9. Personally, I rather detest the alliance shammy T9 gfx, so I will just have to stomach the 60 emblem cost for T7.

For back, your dps casters should be wearing the Deathchill Cloak and liking it, its more dps than anything you can buy from conquest and downwards anyway ;)

Classes in my sig.

Thanks for the tip on PvP back. I haven't looked at ANY PvP gear as an option.

I'll have to do a search on BoE epics, although as I've mentioned I'm currently boycotting dailies. ;)

Yeah, so wrists are spending gold (again, boycotting!) and shoulders are saving the ridiculous amount triumph emblems. (I'll probably average 6 a week on my toons I'd guess?)

Deathchill rings a bell but can't research currently. Have to check that out.

Thanks for the feedback you two!

I clicked this topic expecting to read about repetitive stress injuries incurred while playing too many computer games.
