Balance Druid Pre-Raid Best in Slot (BiS) List

This is the gear we recommend for Druids, before setting foot in Molten Core or Onyxia's Lair. Essentially you should be following the basic stat priority of getting lots of spell power while also looking out for crit, Intellect, and hit. For more information on the stats that you should be looking for, check out the stats page listed below.
