I would call this the "Leve 70 Zul'Gurub" set. It has a nice set bonus, decent healing/spell damage.

This set is useful for a number of specs:
Ferals having back up healing kit - acquiring this would be easier than getting multiple tokens for their healing tier sets aswell as feral sets.
Hybrids wanting some nuke/healing power in PVP - perhaps explaining the agility socket bonuses.
Resto druids that haven't yet aqcuired the better geared healing items from raiding.

All in all this does look to be a pretty nice step into gear for raiding, when a group is just starting out in the instances around :)

Considering the sockets, this chest is better for healing than lifewarden (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29781). And the blending of stats in moonglade makes this trump that one, too. I would say this is the best early-end-game druid healing chest in the game. And the belt and bracers are better than stormrage, so unless you're sporting dreamwalker, this is probably a good set to get. Hope you're all tribal LWers, too =P

So how does on change from elemental/dragonscale to Tribal? I really like this set but I'm elemental.

This is a fantastic raid set for certain specs especially. I am a Nature's Grace - Improved Regrowth hybrid and this suits that perfectly as I do not have to swap pieces pre-pull after trying to anticpate how much +healing gear I need to swap in.

One other thing is the wording of the equips:

"Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 21.
Equip: Increases healing done by spells and effects by up to 37."

Looks like the spell damage equip has the healing component as well making them stack as far as healing goes so for this piece it seems it would be +58 healing.

Still grinding out the skill points but can anyone confirm?

Oh and yeah the socket bonuses are a joke but that just allows you to stack your favorite gems. Personally, I was planning on three Solid Stars of Elune (+36 Stamina) and three Brilliant Dawnstones (+24 int total) anyway so might as well socket them in the apropriate slots.

Комментарий от Ravedruid

About time.

Windhawk now has applicable socket bonuses and the stats and equips have been lightly buffed across the board (cumulative this is quite a nice change) and the set is solidified even more as the best balance armor in the game (assuming you find your heals every once in a while)

A graphic change would have been nice (so tired of the feathered breastplate bit) but overall no more complaints surface in my mind with regards to this set.

The spirit is still iffy depending upon play style (dreamstate is based off of intellect and meditation with 200 mana regen is roughly 30 mp/5) and mp/5 might have been a better choice since while a good majority of balance druids will have meditation it still is not balance talent and staying outside the fsr while filling a DPS role is not feasible (pacing is but not 5 seconds of inaction) I guess when innervate is up the spirit will help out but ideally I would like to see the spirit lowered and smallish amounts of mp/5 added. Having 20 spirit on the belt and 29 on the chest seems a bit much considering.

Set bonus is nicely functional but not overly impressive or much fun. I would prefer spell hit to negate having to use up other slots/sockets for it or a proc along the lines of spellstrike or perhaps something like increases the mana return from melee strikes in moonkin form... even a +200-300 AP while in moonkin form would be more entertaining and not as passive.

Still, great set... am working on my second one (one with healing gems, the other with straight damage)

Total mats required for set:

18 Heavy Knothide Leather
48 Wind Scales (approx 250 flying snakes)
36 Primal Air (324 motes, approx 1000 elementals)
6 Primal Might
3 Primal Nether

Комментарий от billymx

Decent for Balance but, good for Tree's as well. The spirit isn't the best (bracers throw it off) but its decent if your lookin to fill in your Heroic/Pre-raid items.

Комментарий от 7761

I just hit 375 and am currently building this set. Steep on the mats but worth it .. now if you have intensity, Dreamstate and Lunar Guidance

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=24065 - Dazzling Talasite

is a very viable option leaving the set with (it is 5:30 am hope i added right)
(Bonuses included)
Int: 91
Mp5: 20
Sp Dmg:80

now it looks meh dmg wise but 25% of int (with lunar guidance) = spell dmg so all this together with the int and mp5 and actually matching the sockets IMO seems to be the best way to go.. instead of say spamming 9spell dmg gems, Also this does not include enchants

and i know spellstrike is nice... but https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29142 is the same thing and 1 9 spell dmg gem + 2 talasite = 6Mp5 19 int adn 53 spell dmg i slapped a https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=24274 on it and came out with

Mp5: 6
Int: 19
Sta: 20
Sp Dmg: 88

Комментарий от 26524

Ok with cheep gems and some common enchants this set packs
STR 6
AGI 6
STA 73
INT 77
SPI 62
+14 mp5
+95 spelldamage
+59 SCritRating
+258 heal

What can you get that is better that doesn't require more than 4 heroic runs to make/get ? and give you those stats on 3 pieces.

This armor is quite the pain to make. It requires a skill of 375 in Leatherworking, and the Tribal Leatherworking skill.

Here is the list of requirements, and the places I collected them:

36 Primal Air - There are two good places to gather Primal Air, and word has it will be harder to collect the motes as the drop rate is rumored to be lowered. You can either go to Nagrand and farm the level 69-71 Air Elementals, https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=22310, or you can go to Shadowmoon Valley, and farm the https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=21060. I did a little bit of both, though I spent a little bit more time in Nagrand as the drop rate is supposed to be higher. I also had to buy many of the primals because of my lack of patience, and because of the competition for these motes. On the Lightninghoof RP PVP server, they ran up to about 21g a piece.

48 Wind Scales - These drop off the 'Windhawk' beasts of either Shadowmoon Valley, https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=20502, or the https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=20502 and https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=21123 of Blade's Edge Mountains. I personaly farmed in Blade's Edge Mountains because there was always another mob to bounce to and from, not to mention the drop rate was a little better for me - and there were very few if not no adds at all. While farming these, you're also gathering the next reagent:

18 Heavy Knothide Leather - These are made from 5 Knothide Leather, which are made from 5 Knothide Leather Scraps, any respectable skinner knows this will take some time to gether depending on your farming.

6 Primal Might - This is made by gathering one Primal Mana, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, and then finding an Alchemist of considerable skill to transmute them into a Primal Might. Mind you, only one transmute can be made a day; however, in my experience its not hard to find a transmute since they will often ask for tips making this a transmute reserved by most Alchemist.

3 Primal Nether - These drop off the last bosses of any dungeon, though if you run a Normal instance the rate is roughly 5%, where as in a Heroic it is 100%. Good luck gathering these, as they are BoP and can not be sold via the AH.

Good luck gathering everything and I hope this helps. I've been working on this myself for a long time, and it's deffinately worth the hard work if you're a Balance Druid, since you know that a good Moonkin set is hard to come by. As far as gems for this, it would of course depend, but I personaly wouldn't have any problem putting epic gems in it since until you can find a guild that will bring you along for raids, this is the best set you're going to get.

Комментарий от viva

Its okay at best for balance. Granted it is 3 pieces so its not a big deal. But as super deep in balance Im not giving up massive critdmg to get healing bonus in the off chance I may have to pop out of my feathery form to heal. Just some thoughts for you to think about to the fellow balance druids.

Комментарий от 62025

This set is great, really great. But personally I would still prefer to see bliz make a set for restos (that can rival the mooncloth set for healing) and a set for balance. The endless hybrid gear is getting on my nerves a bit.
The little bit more healing a balance druid gets for wearing this set is trivial at best. Nice for healing in bad situations, but if the healing wouldnt be on these pieces, i wouldnt cry. Same goes for restos as well, but for the other stats of course.

A little edit: After reading the patches for 2.3 (if, of course, they're true) I noticed that one of these promised changes will increase spelldamage by 1/3rd of your +healing. Increasing the spelldamage on this set by (42+42+31)/3 = 38 to a total of 109. Making this suddenly a much more interesting set then it was for balance druids and in my opinion about in equal terms with the cloth set counterparts (Shadow's Embrace and Wrath of Spellfire). Would still rather have seen a different set bonus and still would've prefered a different set altogether for resto (crit doesn't do much for resto druids), but if the next patch holds this, it will make this set a lot more worth taking.

This is only true for items which are purely +healing(as in, have some +heal and no +dmg). As this entire set has +dmg and +heal, there will be no change with the upcoming patch.

This set epitomises Blizzard's apparent inability to understand how classes and specs work. Spell crit is useless for ToL druids, spirit is lame for doomkin and DS restos, the socket bonuses suck for resto... etc, etc. There is way too much stamina as well... sad thing is, any PvE resto druid would be way better off with the tailoring Primal Mooncloth set. /sigh

Комментарий от 100819

After patch 2.3.0 this is one of the best gear for balance druid at all.
just look at bonuses :D

Комментарий от Kabby

The +Spell Damage socket bonuses do count for +Healing as well. Edit: The items' tooltips have been updated to indicate this.

Комментарий от 96631

As a resto druid, take this instead of Primal Mooncloth. It's not so much that it's a better healing set, it's more that LW will give you more benefit long term than Tailoring. I still wear all 3 pieces of this set when I occasionally spot heal in BT/MH (I am feral), even though I have had access to drops from those zones for resto.

The set bonus is very nice as well.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This looks like something that Blizzard created for all of those Tribal Leatherworking Moonkin Druids out there.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Trust me, I am one.

I'll be happy with it, to be sure, and the gem sockets will allow extra customization, as will spell thread enchant, etc.

However, this set is BEST for a resto (major)-balance(minor) Druid(ess).

Moonkin can't cast from the resto tree; you'd have to switch out to gain the full heal benefits.

A resto druid who occasionally throws damaging spells will get the best benefit from the set, although - again - it can be customized somewhat with enchants, kits, etc.

Question is, it is only belt/chest/bracers - so what other sets could you wear with it?

Комментарий от Thottbot

My friend was sure she could switch to tribal LW after completing her end set, to make me these pieces.

But Bop, does that mean I'm s.o.l. ?

:*(

Комментарий от Thottbot

The set is BOP because it requires you to be a 375 Tribal Leatherworker to wear it. All three types of leatherworkers have a three piece set of epics that they can make.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This set would be ideal for me, i'm 53 resto 8 balance in a 2v2 team with a rogue, wen some burst dps is required i throw some moonfire/wraths in.

It is crap for moonkin due to lack of +dmg. And for feral bue to lack of all the stats they need :P

The set you could use it with would be T4/T5/Gladiator/Pvp just without the chest peice, so you would still get all the bonuses. If I was leatherworking it would be a very real possibility.

Комментарий от Thottbot

for the set, here's what you need to be holding onto in the bank (or be prepared to farm/trade/buy):

18 Heavy Knothide Leathers
48 Wind Scales
34 Primal Airs
6 Primal Mights
3 Primal Nethers

+ 3 Yellow gems (or compatible) total
+ 3 Blue gems (or compatible) total

+ whatever you are going to choose in the way of endgame-ish AKs, enchants, etc.

You can learn and even craft & enhance/socket the pieces before 70, but you won't be able to wear them until 70.

Also, I THINK - absolutely not sure - that if you ever drop LW/TriLW, you won't be able to utilize these anymore, or at least until you go all the way back through the process of re-acquiring TriLW.

Now, someone else here follow up & figure the best places for us to farm the mats! :D

The PVP (non arena) set is very easy to get. Especially since bonus honor weekend happens every weeekend now. Doing some comparitive analysis, (and this is from a horde resto druid's perspective only) I find that General's Kodohide Belt, General's Kodohide Bracers, and even the Kodohide HWL Tunic are comparitive to Windhawk set. First of all; I don't have to run Heroics 3 times just to get the nether (that's if it drops) and I dont have to spend any money or time farming (cept alliance... and to quote the Big Bad Wolf "Mmmmm.....Delicious"). The above set mentioned, is a low end PVP set also, since arena gear is far superior to both sets. The reason I like the PVP set is :more armor, more stam, more int, 57 total resilience, and more mana regeneration. The socket totals favor Windhawk by 2, but socket bonus for windhawk is "Agility?" Its true the increased damage, healing, spell crit, and spirit is nice, so Im a touch torn. As a resto druid, perhaps it's a coin flip, but I like the OOMkin hybrid theory on this one.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This set is getting new gem bonuses form the patch instead of agility, anyone know what they are?

Комментарий от Thottbot

i think for bracers its 2 intel and for the other 2 its 5 spell damage

Комментарий от Thottbot

Does anyone have a screenshot? I'm getting all my leather ready for a quick boost to 375, but I'd like to know what this looks like!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I wear this set as a moonkin druid... *shrugs*.. since the patch changed the socket gem bonus from agility it's quite a bit better even.. It's hard to find spelldam leather around..

Комментарий от Thottbot

This setif you are a pure Moonkin is outclassed by other leather pieces like:
Chest: ex.Chestpiece of Malorne from Maghteridon (and I see not everybody can afford him now)
Bracers: ex.Veteran's Wyrmhide Bracers new PvP reward (just farm honor)
Belt: ex.Veteran's Wyrmhide Belt new PvP reward (just farm honor)
If you look at windhawk's spell crit rate you'll notice that it has a complessive 47 spell crit rating (about 2.1%)
This obviously fitted for Nature's Grace, and you need at least 21 points in the balance tree in order to get it.
So if you have a resto/balance 27/0/34 (and it's mostly a healer build) this set rocks.
I mean this set doesn't sux, just ask yourself "what's my role has a balance?"
1)Only raid dps dealer? then go with spell hit /spell damage even cloth is good (if not better)in this case
2)hybrid/off-healer? then go windhawk
3)Hard PvP lover? go MercilessGladiator
4)you have no social life and u need more ebix? go for windhawk and any other purplz you can find
I personally wouldn't go for windhawk in this cases:
1)any feral build even if 0/30/31
2)full/deep restoration build (ex.1/0/60)
Unfortunately this set is so expensive compared to its cloth counterparts (spellfire, spellstrike, battlecast)just think well before going for hit, you'll have to farm a lot and you'll have to spend lot of time in heroic due to primal nethers
These are just mine opinions not the ten commandments so do as you prefer

Комментарий от Thottbot

I think this Set is great for:

Restore Druids - fabulous Stats (Int, Spirit and Spell Healing!) Remember Spelldamage is also added to Spell Healing.

and
Moonkins (PvE and PvP) because I made the experience that a Heal is worth more than an armor of steel... most of the time I don't even switch to Moonkin in an Arena Game. These Stats just scream "Balance!" Maybe consider this while playing your druid ^^

So there are probably better Items in Heroics or Raid-Instances, but for me who will never have the time to farm these dungeons, crafting a set like this is a better solution than waiting for an Item in a 25 people Raid... even if i were a tree.

Комментарий от Thottbot

IMHO this set is good for those who can't bid / roll / need in raids for real oomkin gear. IF you however are a real oomkin, you shouldn't get this coz of the expensive materials

Комментарий от Thottbot

So, guys, do I need to stay tribal LW to wear windhawk armor or not? Anyone with that expirience?

Комментарий от Thottbot

yes, it requires tribal leatherworking to wear it, so if you are like me, with a primalstrike set from elemental and the windhawk set, you will have to respec your leatherworking between elemental and tribal as you respec between feral and balance/resto

Комментарий от Thottbot

This set is amazing after patch 2.3. the added damage now puts the chest pretty close to Tier5 (!), unless you're hurting for + hit. I wear this on my 47/0/14 balance druid, and I absolutely could not be more content with it.

Oh yeah, and newsflash: I do heal a lot, and it is even superior to tier 4 healing chest.

The additional bonus to a 3 piece set like this is that it only takes 1 of the major set slots, ie. Chest. The other four... gloves, pants, helm, shoulders... could be from the pvp, arena, or raiding sets, which each only require any 4 of the 5 pieces to get the final set bonus. So in theory you could wear this 3 piece set with 4 pieces from tier 4 and get 2 different set bonuses.

The way a moonkin would get the most out of this set is if they had the intensity talent, because it has a lot of spirit. The only mp5 is from the set bonus, and now that intensity is 30%, the big spirit on each piece is very appealing.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Double Post :/

Комментарий от Thottbot

This set would also be good for Resto Shamans. Good int, Healing and Spell Crit for Chain Heal. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those are all stats Resto Shamans look for? Although there isn't any MP5 in the set but you can easily put MP5 in the sockets.

Edit: Nvm MP5 is obtainable in the 3 Piece Set Bonus. Shaman ftw. =D

Комментарий от Thottbot

Since I'm trying to make this decision for myself as a Restoration Druid, I drew up a comparison of the Windhawk Armor and the basic Kodohide Armor equivalent. The best is still Arena gear, but this might be useful for druids who are looking to gear themselves up to go into the Arena, or raiding.

A * next to a stat indicates that one set is superior to the other in that area.

Windhawk Set

Stamina: 67

Intellect: 65

*Spirit: 56

*Spell Critical Rating: 2.1%

*Healing: 186

*Damage: 110

*Mana Regeneration: 22 Mana/5 Sec (8 from set bonus, 14 from spirit bonus)

Veteran's Kodohide Belt/Bracers & Gladiator's Kodohide Tunic

*Stamina: 106

*Intellect: 75

Spell Crit: .94% (.94% from intellect bonus)

Healing: 174

Damage: 59

Mana Regeneration: 20 mana/5 sec (20 from mana regeneration bonus)

It appears that the Windhawk set is superior for Restoration druids, especially if they're healing from treeform, as the other set does not offer any spirit bonuses.
