WoTLK Classic Hunter Pre-Raid BiS Gear – Phase 1
This is the set of gear that you’ll be farming before entering the raids that will be active in phase 1, such as Naxxramas, The Obsidian Sanctum, and The Eye of Eternity.
Many of the items come from Heroic dungeons which can only be done once per day, so you’re not likely to get them all before the raids are released. However, some items are also from reputation rewards and crafting. How much you need of this will really depend upon the buffed difficulty of these raids in WoTLK Classic.
Also, note that you should probably hang on to all pieces of gear with hit rating so that when you get upgraded without it in T7 raids you can still achieve the hit cap.
Important: Items bought with emblems might not be available to buy until the raids are released (makes sense).
