Balance Druid DPS Fire Resistance Gear
On this page, you will find the best Fire Resistance gear for your Balance Druid in WoW Classic. For more gearing advice, please refer to our Balance Druid Gearing and Best in Slot guide.
Fire Resistance Gear for Balance Druids
While doing Molten Core and Blackwing Lair, it is possible you will need some Fire Resistance gear, especially for Ragnaros and Vaelastrasz the Corrupt. The pieces we list below are the ones that grant significant Fire Resistance and do not drop from the raids themselves.
For DPS, it is not advisable to use resistance gear that hurts your damage potential too much, so we will only list easily accessible gear, that you might even already have for other purposes. Depending on your buffs and consumables, you might not even need any of this gear. Also, if you loot powerful gear with Fire Resistance on it during your raid clears, replace whatever pieces you are still wearing of the following:
| Slot | Item | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm |  Molten Helm |
Leatherworking |
| Neck |  Drakefire Amulet |
Onyxia's Lair Attunement Quest |
| Shoulders |  Volcanic Shoulders |
Leatherworking |
| Cloak |  Wildfire Cape |
Ambassador Flamelash in Blackrock Depths |
| Chest |  Volcanic Breastplate |
Leatherworking |
| Wrists |  Cinderhide Armsplints (of Fire Resistance) |
Lord Incendius in Blackrock Depths |
| Legs |  Volcanic Leggings |
Leatherworking |
| Trinket |  Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas |
Reward from The Emerald Dream... in Dire Maul |
Finally, do not forget you can also complement your Fire Resistance gear with
consumables such as 
Greater Fire Protection Potion, 
Juju Ember, the
Libram of Resilience leg and head enchant, the 
Enchant Cloak - Fire Resistance
cloak enchant, and the 
Flame Mantle of the Dawn shoulder enchant.
