Are there any other items of this list that won't be available due to pre-nerf of the items?

What would be your suggestions for the items that aren't available at release? (e.g. Chest, Wrist, ..)

I definitely think Spellweaver's Turban isn't available at launch since I looked up head slot items from february 2005 allakhazam and it isn't listed there.

Pretty sure that the briarwood reed was available in the early game content, as you can check, it was allrdy enlisted in 2005 :

http://web.archive.org/web/200502221152 ... item=12930

by the way I'd be curious to know if we'll have to deal with 2005 itemisations :

http://web.archive.org/web/200502152309 ... item=13964

http://web.archive.org/web/200502280550 ... item=16801

And I suggest to add to your list :

http://web.archive.org/web/200502170854 ... item=15421
(from In Dream quest chain, seems to be the best pre raid cloack available)

http://web.archive.org/web/200503020414 ... item=13170
(one of the very fiew and rare items that allready has decent stats and probly the best pre raid leggings)

Yeah, I had those for a long time. Can't remember whether I replaced them with the T1 pants to get the set bonus or if I actually waited until T2 pants. Definitely worth grinding Omokk for.

Eye of Flame is BiS for fire specs for quite a while, although you obviously can't be fire specced in the early raid content. If you could, it would be potentially BiS even throughout MC/BWL. I'm not sure if there's even anything with more spell power until AQ20, although I'd probably wear T2 head if I had the full set.
