Discipline best-in-slot (BiS) gear

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.

Full list by levelLevel 20 Level 30beta Level 40 Level 50 Level 60

Top picks at level 60

Main hand
1. Hammer of the Twisting Netheritem level 89 · Drops from Kel'Thuzad · Naxxramas (Classic data)
2. The Widow's Embraceitem level 81 · Drops from Grand Widow Faerlina · Naxxramas (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.

Why these weights

Healer with Meditation (mana regen while casting) and Mental Strength, so spirit and intellect are worth more than for Holy and crit a bit less. Healing is the reference and spell power counts the same because it heals too. The wand fills the ranged slot: in the beta's early levels, much of the levelling is done by wanding, so its DPS scores.
