QuestionablyEpic is a website founded by one the best healer theorycrafters around: Voulk. You can use this website to compare gear to find the best combination of what to wear and use. While BiS lists can be very helpful, they can sometimes change depending on what gear you have available to you or incase you need to reach a certain breakpoint. Which is especially helpful on Restoration Druid when deciding which breakpoint you should be trying to reach in the first place. By using this website, you can ensure that you are always using the best possible gear in your bags, and it will also tell you which gems and enchants to use as well! If you are having trouble using this website and all of its features, QuestionablyEpic has a video explaining how to use it which you can watch here. Keep in mind that this follows a retail format but won't differ much for classic. You will simply want to make sure that you have the "QE Live Gear Importer" addon and type /qe rather than /simc. If you still require additional help or have questions, you can always visit the QE Live Discord.
