Class	Priority	About
	Items: Fast (2.2 or faster) 1H Axes, Maces, Swords, Fist Weapons | Defense Shields | Defense Plate Stats: Defense, Block, Stamina, Expertise, Parry, Dodge, Armor, Strength, Hit	The Tanking Warrior is almost solely about Mitigation and will be given priority on the typical defense-oriented loot. Slow main-hands, although somewhat desirable for Devistate, will only be given moderate weight.
	Items: 2H Weapons | DPS Plate Stats: Strength, Expertise, Haste, Hit, Crit, Attack Power, Armor Penetration	Fury and Arms both now look for very similar stats, although Fury will favor +Hit slightly more than Arms. Due to Titans Grip, 1-hand weapons will now be lower priority.
	Items: 2H Weapons | Tanking Plate Stats: Defense, Parry, Dodge, Expertise, Stamina, Armor, Strength, Hit	Due to the lack of Shields, Death Knights will seek mitigation from Dodge and Parry more than Protection Warriors / Paladins. There so far is no itemization for purely defensive 2-hand weapons and virtually all 2-hand weapons will be shared between DPS Warriors, Retribution Paladins, and Death Knights. However, there are some standout 2-handers with high amount of Stamina, Hit, and/or Expertise that a tanking Death Knight will more than likely find more useful over more DPS oriented weapons.
	Items: 2H Weapons | DPS Plate Stats: Strength, Expertise, Haste, Hit, Crit, Attack Power, Armor Penetration	Since 1-hand weapons in 3.0 are only possibly viable in a specific tri-spec build and virtually all currently known modeling done with 2-hands extensively, Death Knights will have lower priority on 1-handers. In WotLK physical DPS plate itemization will be shared almost evenly between DPS Warriors, Retribution Paladins, and DPS Death Knights.
	Items: Caster Weapons & Shields | Caster Plate Stats: Spellpower, Crit, Haste, Mana/5, Intellect, Spirit	Although Holy can be used offensively, the ratings will be weighted towards healing Holy Paladins. Spellpower plate is one of the very few itemization subclasses which only a Holy Paladin can effectively use.
	Items: Defensive 1-hand Weapons & Shields | Defense Plate Stats: Defense, Block, Stamina, Expertise, Parry, Dodge, Armor, Strength, Hit	Tanking Paladins in WotLK no longer require spellpower for boosting threat, instead they will seek out virtually the same tanking plate as a tanking Warrior.
	Items: 2H Weapons | DPS Plate Stats: Strength, Expertise, Haste, Hit, Crit, Attack Power, Armor Penetration	Retribution Paladins in WotLK no longer require spellpower as a damage stat, instead they will seek out virtually the same DPS plate as a DPS Warrior.
	Items: Bows | Crossbows | Guns | DPS Mail | {Special Melee Consideration} Stats: Agility, Hit, Crit, Haste, Intellect, Attack Power, Armor Penetration	Universal non-thrown ranged weapon preference. Melee weapons are only given high priority if they have high DPS stats. In WotLK physical DPS mail itemization will be shared almost evenly between Hunters and Enhancement Shaman.
	Items: Caster Maces, Daggers | Caster Shields | Caster Mail Stats: Spellpower, Crit, Spell Hit, Haste, Intellect	Lower Staff priority due to the unique offensive caster class ability to equip shields. In gereral, caster Mail with +hit will be given higher priority to Elemental Shaman, while MP5 caster Mail will be given first to Restoration Shaman.
	Items: Slow 1H Axes, Maces, Fist Weapons | DPS Mail Stats: Agility, Hit, Crit, Haste, Intellect, Attack Power, Armor Penetration	Low priority on fast 1-hand weapons (and all Daggers) due to talent mechanics and normalization of instant attacks. In WotLK physical DPS mail itemization will be shared almost evenly between Enhancement Shaman and Hunters.
	Items: Caster Maces, Daggers | Caster Shields | Caster Mail Stats: Spellpower, Mana/5, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect	Like the Elemental Shaman, lower Staff priority due to the unique healer class ability to equip shields. In gereral, caster Mail with MP5 will be given higher priority to Resto Shaman, while +hit caster Mail will be given first to Elemental Shaman.
	Items: Daggers | 1H Swords, Maces, Fist Weapons | DPS Leather Stats: Agility, Attack Power, Hit, Melee Crit, Haste, Armor Penetration	Rogues recieve almost universal prioirty on melee Daggers, however they must share non-dagger 1h's with Enhancement Shamans and Hunters. In WotLK physical DPS leather itemization will be shared almost evenly between Rogues and Feral Druids.
	Items: Caster Staves, Maces, Daggers | Caster Leather Stats: Spellpower, Hit, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect	Typical offensive caster oriented priority. In gereral, caster Leather with +hit will be given higher priority to Balance Druids, while MP5/Spirit caster Leather will be given first to Restoration Druids.
	Items: Feral Staves | DPS Leather Stats: Agility, Attack Power, Hit, Melee Crit, Haste, Armor Penetration	Although there are slated changes to Feral staves / 2-hand DPS conversions, for 3.0 Feral Druids will be given universal priority on such staves, and low on other 2-handers. In WotLK physical DPS leather itemization will be shared almost evenly between Feral Druids and Rogues.
	Items: Caster Staves, Maces, Daggers | Caster Leather Stats: Spellpower, Mana/5, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect, Spirit	Typical healing oriented priority. In gereral, caster Leather with MP5/Spirit will be given higher priority to Restoration Druids, while +hit caster Leather will be given first to Balance Druids.
	Items: Caster Staves, Swords, Daggers | Caster Cloth Stats: Spellpower, Spell Hit, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect, Spirit	Typical offensive caster priority. In gereral, caster Cloth with +hit will be given higher priority to Mages, while MP5 caster Cloth will be given first to healing Priests.
	Items: Caster Staves, Swords, Daggers | Caster Cloth Stats: Spellpower, Spell Hit, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect, Stamina	Typical offensive caster priority. In gereral, caster Cloth with +hit will be given higher priority to Warlocks, while MP5 caster Cloth will be given first to healing Priests.
	Items: Caster Staves, Maces, Daggers | Caster Cloth Stats: Spellpower, Spell Hit, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect, Spirit	Typical offensive caster priority. In gereral, caster Cloth with +hit will be given higher priority to DPS Priests, while MP5 caster Cloth will be given first to healing Priests.
	Items: Caster Staves, Maces, Daggers | Caster Cloth Stats: Spellpower, Mana/5, Spell Crit, Haste, Intellect, Spirit	Typical healing oriented priority. In gereral, caster Cloth with MP5 will be given higher priority to Priests, while +hit caster Cloth will be given first to DPS casters.
