Level 60: where gear will come from
- Pre-raid: Alcaz Prison, Shaper's Terrace, the Drowned City and Hyjal quests for healing-power cloth/leather/mail; Forever rebuilt item stats so Classic BiS lists don't transfer.
- Crafted: Tailoring 'Pristine' / 'Filigreed' healing sets (the L20 tier already exists), Leatherworking 'Wisdom's' sets; Enchanting ring Spell Power.
- Remember bonus healing also grants one-third as much bonus damage in Forever — a healing set is a solo set too.
- Raids open 9 December; no level-60 BiS exists yet.
