How to Get Battlegear of Valor
Warriors obtain T0 pieces in World of Warcraft Forever from dungeon bosses and trash mobs. Blizzard does not publish drop rates for these items in Forever. That's why we list the source of each piece and the drop rate from Classic for the three main bosses:
- Helm of Valor - Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance drops this helmet with an 11.94% drop rate in Classic. The same boss gives T0 helmets for all nine classes.
- Breastplate of Valor - Warriors obtain this breastplate from General Drakkisath, the final boss of Upper Blackrock Spire. The drop chance in Classic was 12%.
- Legplates of Valor - These legplates drop in Stratholme from Baron Rivendare. The baron dropped them in 10.12% of kills in Classic.
- The remaining five pieces - Bosses and trash mobs in Scholomance and Stratholme drop them. The same pieces also drop in Dire Maul, Blackrock Depths, and Blackrock Spire.
- Black Market Auction House - Madam Swyndle in Powderfuse Port (Riverglades) puts T0 pieces for any slot up for auction. A bid from 400 g gets you Helm of Valor without a drop, provided the item is in rotation.
Most T0 pieces are BoP. The character who fought the boss receives this armor as loot. Our team keeps your warrior in the group for every kill. Boosters give all T0 pieces from the loot to him. He does not share this armor with paladins, as would happen in a random PUG.
Battlegear of Valor Bonuses and Upgrade
Blizzard has revamped the T0 set bonuses for Forever. A warrior's T0 set now gives a new bonus for each piece from the second through the sixth. The game has removed the old even-numbered Classic thresholds and the bonus for eight pieces. The sixth piece unlocks all five bonuses. This allows you to fill the other two slots with items that provide hit and crit.
Blizzard has removed Spirit from most T0 pieces. This stat provided the warrior with neither damage nor defense in fights. You won't have to carry a useless stat on your warrior. We consider the new Hyjal Summit raid tier sets to be the next upgrade for this armor. A group of 20 players faces 13 bosses there.
Warrior Pre-Raid BiS in WoW Forever
Pre-made Classic warrior pre-raid BiS lists do not work in Forever. But the BoE Lionheart Helm for level 56 with a Blacksmithing 300 recipe remains unchanged. It gives +18 Strength and 2% each to hit and crit. We recommend that DPS warriors equip it instead of the set helmet, since the other six T0 pieces unlock all five set bonuses anyway.
