WotLK Classic Balance Druid Gear and Best in Slot

Balance Druid Tier 8, the Nightsong Garb, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Thorim in 25-man Ulduar or Mimiron in 10-man Ulduar;
• Chest — Hodir in 25-man Ulduar or Yogg-Saron in 10-man Ulduar;
• Legs — Freya in 25-man Ulduar or Hodir in 10-man Ulduar;
• Shoulders — Yogg-Saron in 25-man Ulduar or Thorim in 10-man Ulduar;
• Gloves — Mimiron in 25-man Ulduar or Freya in 10-man Ulduar.

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — increases the bonus granted by Eclipse for Starfire and Wrath by 7%. This is a very strong bonus overall and should be a priority to obtain;
• 4 pieces — causes your Insect Swarm damage ticks to have a chance to make your next Starfire cast within 10 sec instant. This bonus is also very strong on heavy movement fights, but less so when stationary.

You will want to get the 2-piece bonus as soon as possible, with the 4-piece bonus also being recommended for most fights. For fights where you can stand and cast for most of the time, having extra Hard Mode loot is preferable.

Balance Druid Tier 7, the Dreamwalker Garb, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Kel'Thuzad in Naxxramas
• Chest — The Four Horsemen in Naxxramas
• Legs — Thaddius in Naxxramas
• Shoulders — Loatheb in Naxxramas
• Gloves — Sartharion in The Obsidian Sanctum

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — causes your Insect Swarm to deal an additional 10% damage. As Insect Swarm will be your primary damage-over-time effect in Phase 1, this is a decent bonus.
• 4 pieces — increases the Critical Strike chance of Wrath and Starfire by 5%. As these two spells are the majority of your damage in single-target, this is an excellent set bonus!

You will want to get the 2 and 4-piece bonuses as soon as possible, as they are very strong. As ever, sim yourself and any new gear prospects at the Wowsims Balance Druid module for accurate results for your current gear situation.
