Classic-Items still good in TBC

Roughly sorted by usefulness and only interesting items. Obviously a Naxx-Weapon is better than a MC-Weapon. This is not a max-profit list for selling stuff but actual use in raidgame.

1. Useful even in endgame

• Mark of the Champion (+demon-dmg is BiS in BT, SW etc. most of the mobs in TBC are demons)
• Wolfshead Helm (cats do still powershift and replace this item very late)
• Warlock’s Atiesh (with the best grp-aura WLs still use this until end BT)
• Arcanite Fishing Pole (still the best pole in tbc)

2. Good until the midgame

• Warrior’s TF (was nerfed in aggro but should be still good for tanking multiple mobs in P1)
• Sapphiron’s Shouldenchants (still very good for certain classes/specs)
• Badge of the Swarmguard (could be good depending on the way tbc armor values will work)
• Styleen’s Impeding Scarab (becomes a good deff-trinket)
• Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon (still a good mana-reg trinket for druids & priests but probably just not necessary)
• Naxxrama’s epic frost resistance gear (still nice for Hydross)
• Petrified Scarab (might still be useful for the 2 resi-fights)
• Crusader-Enchant (good for quite some time)
• +2% threat enchant (still very good for tanking, has a cheaper TBC variant though)
• ZG-Set-Trinkets (might still be interesting due their %-working or special effects)

3. Nice to have pre-raid

• Finkle’s Skinner / Zulian Slicer / Herbalists Glove (still the best +gather items)
• Rune of Metamorphosis (was nerfed but shifting is more expensive and together with t4 bonus a mana-gain-trinket)
• Scarab Brooch (nice through the %-effect but will still be replaced early)
• Ironfoe & HoJ (the way stronger weapons profit a little bit more of the extra-attacks)
• Ravager (might be a good AoE-Weapon if it can work around the 10 target limitation)
• BWL-Trinkets like DFT, Black Book, MQG, Tear, Reju and Alignment are still good for some time
• Eye of the Dead (still good pre raid for healers)
• Tier 3 items are still very good, especially since you usually don’t need their bonuses
• Darkmoon Card: Twisting Nether (still as good/bad as before)
• Demon Forged Breastplate & Skullflame Shield (good for Pala AoE farming)
• Shaman T2 8-piece (could work for Arena pregame buffing)
• Boots of Discplacement/Darkmantle Boots (still max +stealth items)
• ZG-Enchants (until you got access to TBC variants)

4. Consumables - mostly for non-raid purposes

• Elemental Sharpening Stones (have more crit than the tbc-variant and cheaper)
• Swiftness Potions (still swift)
• Free Action Potions (still imba)
• Restoration Potions (still enough to dispel while leveling, not for raids)
• Invisibility Potions (cause invis)
• Mighty Rage Potions (cause warris bad tanks like classic)
• Thistle Tea (cause no RedBull yet)
• Elixir of Demonslaying (Demons everywhere !)
• Flasks of Titans (nerfed but ok)
• Flasks of Supreme Power (cheaper and still ok)
• Flasks of Distilled Wisdom (for stat bitches)
• Flasks of Petrification (still handy in some situations)
• Darkrunes/Demonrunes (still used by manaclasses)
• Rep-Bots (tbc variant is better but still useful)
• Engi-Stuff (like cables, parachute cloak, stun-stuff etc)
• Brilliant Oils (still oily)

5. Crafting Materials (for continues use for raiding)

• Black Lotus
• Large Brilliant Shards
• Righteous Orbs
