Balance Druid TBC Pre-Patch BiS Gear Guide
On this page, you will find the best in slot items for your Balance Druid during the pre-patch of the Burning Crusade.
Gearing Strategy for Balance Druids
While this list focuses on the best gear possible for established players, the time available to gear up within the pre-patch for newly boosted or leveled characters is extremely short, and as such your best bet if you are part of that group is to spam queue PvP for good gear that is also easy to get.
You may also want to complement that gear with our Classic era pre-raid best in slot list, which has plenty of strong options that do not require a large raid group to obtain.
TBC Classic Pre-patch Balance Druid Best in Slot
This is the best gear available for Balance Druids in the TBC Classic pre-patch. Much of the gear will be from Naxxramas, the final destination of WoW Classic, that has both the best gear and the hardest bosses to get through!
Druids Tier 3, Dreamwalker Raiment is perhaps one of the most iconic Druid sets of all time, but has useless set bonuses and stats for Balance Druids, thus the list below will consist of off-tier gear.
In order to make the best use out of long cooldown trinkets, such as
Zandalarian Hero Charm and
Talisman of Ephemeral Power, swap them
into your gear set when they are off-cooldown and replace them with others
during their cooldown.
