The site’s suggestion, not an official list: we score the beta items with our stat weights for each level. The beta is capped at level 30.
Brimstone Staffitem level 83 · Two-Hand · Drops from Loatheb · Naxxramas (Classic data)
The End of Dreamsitem level 83 · Drops from Grobbulus · Naxxramas (Classic data)
Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayeritem level 83 · Drops from Nefarian · Blackwing Lair (Classic data)
Preceptor's Hatitem level 83 · Drops from Heigan the Unclean · Naxxramas (Classic data)
Crystal Webbed Robeitem level 85 · Drops from Maexxna · Naxxramas (Classic data)
Garb of Royal Ascensionitem level 71 · Drops from Vekniss Wasp · Ahn'Qiraj Temple (Classic data)The two highest-scoring pieces in three slots. It is a forecast: until the beta reaches 60, items and their sources may change.

Balance casts Wrath and Starfire: spell power first (specific arcane and nature are worth less since each only covers half the rotation), then intellect, which also gives crit. Mana is the tree's big problem, hence the weight on mana per 5 s and spirit. No ranged slot: idols are not scored.
The races that can pick the class in WoW Forever. The ones marked new are combinations Classic did not have.
Talents and abilities: beta client (build 1.60.1.70205), compared with Classic Era 1.15.9.69722. BiS: the site’s stat weights.
