Phase 1 Best in Slot

This list excludes Valor gear and world drop BoEs. With the addition of Celestial Dungeons just a few weeks after launch these items are likely to lose a lot of their value so the list opts for more easily farmable options.

Please note that the reforges on this list are assuming you have every piece of gear listed. Missing even a single piece of this gear can completely change the way you reforge/gem/enchant your gear so always keep your Hit/Expertise caps in mind.
