Class / Spec Priorities for Reforging

This section is all about the basic reforging priorities for each specific class and spec combination. Each class and spec combination has a list of priorities in descending order from the most important down to the least important for them. Only stats that can be reforged, and that are generally found on gear meant for that class and spec are listed. After all no mater how you reforge it, a tanking piece of gear will still be subpar for a DPS player.

Reminder: This is a basic listing for each class/spec combination and meant for most players. There are exceptions to this listing, especially at higher gear levels as discusses in the Advanced Reforging section previously.

NOTE: These priority lists are current as of Patch 5.0.4
