Gearing Recommendations

Level 80 Gear recommendations from Theorycrafters on Discord.

So, you hit 80 and have no idea where to go with your gear. Here are the general recommendations given by Theorycrafters, a Discord server with experienced players who discuss information on raiding, gearing, parsing and PvP. They are all veteran players who have collectively come up with the following suggestions.

General Overview

You will need a total of 15 pieces to have full gear as a level 80. They include:

  • Tactical – 1

    Tactical items modify your abilities allowing you to customize your character, with effects ranging from improving survivability to enhancing attacks and everything in between. Tacticals are tailored to each combat style and discipline as well as having some for general use. They can be found as rare loot drops, some can be crafted but a majority you will find at the tactical vendor on Fleet.

  • Legendary Implants – 2

    Legendary Implants are where your Legendary bonuses come from. Previously, you got some of these bonuses as “Set” bonuses by getting all the pieces to a given set. Now, you get it in the form of just two implants. These implants will have a unique effect that will enhance and improve playstyles and give you some extra basic stats. These must be unlocked by doing a questline called “Technological Advancement” from Lonndar Eadwinn in the Supplies section of Fleet.

  • Gear Pieces, Weapons, Offhands, Relics, Earpiece – 12

    The remaining 12 pieces consist of: Weapon, offhand, head, chest, wrist, glove, belt, legs, boots, two relics and an earpiece. All of these pieces can be augmented and some can take modifications to better customize your builds.

Recommendations

When setting up your gear remember the basic rules order:

DPS – Accuracy – Alacrity – rest in Critical
Heals – Don’t need Accuracy – Alacrity to your desired GCD – rest in Critical
Tanks – Built in Accuracy – Alacrity not needed to stay alive – Shield to range – rest in Absorb

About Alacrity Guild Perk

If you are in a guild and the guild has full perks, there is a chance you will have the Alacrity perk. Not every guild has it, so double check before you set up your gear. This is what to look for:

Zeal Set Bonus
Passive

Increases alacrity by 5% and has a small chance to grant an Alacrity Boost for 15 seconds after taking damage. Can happen once every 30 minutes. In addition, grants your companion an Alacrity Boost whenever you use an adrenal. This effect is not applied in PvP or Master Mode Operations.
