Whitemane's Chapeau Healer Rework
Blizzard revealed a tooltip for Forever that turns this hat into a healer's helmet at BlizzCon. The new tooltip gives +10 Intellect and +12 Spirit. Its first Equip effect adds up to +20 to healing and up to +7 to spell damage. The second reduces the cast time of resurrection spells by 20%. This allows healers to revive their group after a wipe in the Cathedral or any other dungeon in Forever faster than in Classic.
The Classic version of the hat gave +14 Intellect and +14 Spirit without any Equip effects. Both versions give the character the same +9 Stamina. Mages, Warlocks, and Priests wore this hat in Classic around level 40 for the mana pool from Intellect and the regeneration from Spirit. The Forever tooltip reduced the Intellect and Spirit stats and added two Equip effects. We believe that healers at levels 39–46 benefit more from the new version than from the old one.
High Inquisitor Whitemane Loot
Whitemane drops her loot in the final fight of the Cathedral, where she appears alongside Scarlet Commander Mograine. Groups of up to ten people would enter this area in Classic. Blizzard has limited the party size for this fight in Forever to five players. ChaosBoost operators will assemble this group for you. The loot table for Whitemane in this fight includes three rare items:
- The hat for the head slot
- Hand of Righteousness for the main hand
- Triune Amulet for the neck slot
The drop rate for the hat hovered around 37% in Classic. Hand of Righteousness from the same boss also received a new tooltip in Forever. This mace has become one of the most popular items in Forever. Every kill of this boss in the final Cathedral fight gives your group a chance at both the hat and Hand of Righteousness.
Is Whitemane's Chapeau in WoW Forever
Blizzard has kept the hat in Whitemane's loot in World of Warcraft Forever. Some players even considered its new tooltip (with a bonus of up to +20 to healing) too powerful for level 39. We consider this helmet a must-have for healers at levels 39–46. Your character also completes the Cathedral requirement for the Experienced Spelunker achievement after you kill Whitemane. This Legacy achievement requires completing ten dungeons with all four wings of the Scarlet Monastery among them.
