WoW Insider's gearing up in Northrend guides

If you don't see the spec/role you're looking for in our list below, never fear! Our columnists are always working on these things, and the best inspiration for all of our writers is knowing what everyone is looking for. Don't see what you're looking for? Just let us know. Don't be afraid to look at guides for similar classes, either. They might just have the information you need. For example, the Shadow Priest spell hit guide will work for most casters.
But enough talk, on with the show!

I'm glad I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd be bored at home trying to login all day.

Use the character planner as a guide to find where some quests give what to stats and how it will benefit/hurt you.

DPS Death Knight would be very cool.
please?
lsschwartz Jan 20th 2009 3:46PM
Boomkin gear and requirements to start raiding would be great.
Sycoo Jan 20th 2009 12:03PM
Ty so much.
Wishkeeper Jan 20th 2009 12:13PM
an feral druide or an tanking druide update would be nice.......that is what we also need XD
Aurodanda Jan 20th 2009 12:13PM
are we going to see any raid guides for gear?
Gizmo Jan 20th 2009 12:18PM
I'd love to see something for tanks (and Raid Leaders); what sort of numbers are "required" for Naxx-10 and Naxx-25 for Tank, DPS, and Healers. Even if it's just "tanks in all epics and uncrittable, healers in blue, DPS in green", SOMETHING would be nice.
VSUReaper Jan 20th 2009 1:15PM
For warrior tanks, its simple: get uncritable and your ready to start. ~22k hp will be desired, and the stats will fill themselves in as they go.
Gizmo Jan 20th 2009 2:41PM
I hate having to reply to myself. WTB Nested comments, PST!
So, since you seem to have them handy, what are good unbuffed (or buffed) Pally Tank numbers?
VSUReaper Jan 20th 2009 1:13PM
I imagine it would probably be similar (but not the same) as the holy priest guide, but can someone sit down and write a disc priest guide for gear? My priest is slowly working up through the ranks and will be replacing some of his old raid gear soon, but I'm not 100% confident on what stats he should be prioritizing the most (holy wants more yummy spirit, but I heard Disc not so much?)

I'd like to see dps guides for death knights that have the perspective that you are a new level 80 and what can you do to efficiently gear up thru questing and reputation grinding quests.
Not all who now love playing the death knight played a plate class mele dps and having a firm understanding of what is needed would help.
Having such a guide to help these new death knights to prepare for naxramas would be great.
Web tools to help this and any addons that clearly help facilitate this be appreciated too, but come from the perspective that this might be the first plate class these players have so that the crucial foundation is prepared appropriately.
My experience so far to research and learn what helps has been a challenge.
Thorik Jan 20th 2009 2:31PM
I do realise that the warrior guides kinda apply, but maybe a guide for Protection paladins gearing up for tanking HCs and eventually Naxx would be useful? Please.
Other than that, nice going, the Scattered Shots hunter guides are a real help.
djkronik57 Jan 21st 2009 2:23PM
I second the Prot pally gear guide! Please?
NOBOOMINOOM Jan 20th 2009 3:18PM
When are the rest of the drood gear guides coming? I hope soon and you said it will be soon. Just checking if this is still true.
Antonia Jan 20th 2009 3:34PM
good idea for a post, enjoyable reads.. just can't wait till the elemental shaman guide to gearing up. the gear for them isn't quite what it is for the other shaman.
DM7000 Jan 20th 2009 5:35PM
I'd really love a feral dps guide for starting northrend, heck I could even go along with a rogue one.
Talkaboom Jan 23rd 2009 12:39AM
WTB 1. A decent Warlock guide. Also more frequent.
2. DK DPS guide( you already have a lot of stuff regarding that, but the amount of time dedicated to tanking DKs is something I was hoping for the DPS area too.
