ABOUT LEVELS 50-60
After level 50, you begin to get into the more exciting areas of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. With good gear, you can easily go to Outland at level 58 and acquire far better quest rewards. The very best gear rewards, however, still come from running dungeons.
We’re still maximizing:
Spirit > Intellect > Critical > Haste > Stamina
Check out our Disc Priest Leveling Guide: Levels 50 – 60 (incoming!).
Heirloom gear is not included in this list, but is dicussed here.
ENCHANTING LEVELING GEAR
An exhaustive list of enchantments would be too exhausting to contemplate, so for each piece I simply recommend one enchantment that I think gets the job done and will serve you well for most of your ten levels. Re-enchanting leveling gear is, I think, neither time nor cost effective given the relatively small benefit you’ll enjoy.
