Guardian Druid Best Legendaries in Shadowlands — Dragonflight 10.2.5

After heading into Torghast, you will be able to create gear with legendary Powers through the new Runecarving system. You can craft and upgrade multiple legendaries, however you can only wear 1 at a time, so it is a good idea to find out which are the best and focus on upgrading those first. Below we will go into detail about which are the best legendary powers to craft and why.

Focus	Legendary	Slots	Source
Raiding & Mythic+: Purely Defensive Option	The Natural Order's Will	Wrists	Castle Nathria (Huntsman Altimor)
Raiding & Mythic+: Offensive Bear	Legacy of the Sleeper	Feet	Torghast (Mort'regar, Layer3+)
Raiding: Offensive Catweaving	Draught of Deep Focus	Neck	Great Vault
Mythic+: Mixed Offensive and Defensive Option	Ursoc's Fury Remembered	Back	Torghast (Coldheart Interstitia, Layer 3+)
Torghast	Stable Phantasma Lure	Neck, Wrist, or Back	Torghast (Layer 6+)

While we will be going into more detail later in the guide, we recommend The Natural Order's Will as the best defensive choice in all content, Ursoc's Fury Remembered for a balanced mix of offensive and defensive and Legacy of the Sleeper once you acquire the Guardian Druid 4-Piece tier set bonus.

For Mythic+ and solo content, Ursoc's Fury Remembered provides both an offensive increase in the bonus Thrash procs and a defensive benefit from the absorb gained. This is a very well-rounded legendary and is great for all content.

Finally, Stable Phantasma Lure is a Torghast-only choice; the increased Phantasma gained will allow you to complete your Anima Power setup quicker and more reliably.

During the new campaign of Zereth Mortis in Patch 9.2 you will gain the ability to equip two Legendaries at the same time. One of the Legendaries must be your Covenant-specific Legendary, which will initially come in the form of a new Legendary belt with the power Unity, and the other can be any of your choosing. This belt covers all 4 Covenant Legendaries so you will not have to recraft when you change Covenants. You will eventually be able to change the belt to any item slot that is preferable.

The four Covenant-specific Legendary powers available to Guardian Druid are:

• Unbridled Swarm — Adaptive Swarm has a 60% chance to split into two Swarms each time it jumps. This is quite weak overall.
• Sinful Hysteria — Each time Ravenous Frenzy is applied its duration is increased by 0.1 seconds. Additionally, Ravenous Frenzy lingers and will not overcome you for 3 seconds after it ends. This increases the damage you deal during Ravenous Frenzy significantly and is great overall.
• Celestial Spirits — The cooldown of Convoke the Spirits is reduced by 50% and the duration by 25%. Convoke the Spirits has an increased chance to use an exceptional spell or ability. This is strong on fights where a 1-minute cooldown is superior and greatly increase the overall uptime from Niya's Mastery buff Grove Invigoration.
• Kindred Affinity — You and your Kindred Spirit each gain a bonus secondary stat based on their Covenant. This bonus is doubled while the bond is empowered. This is the best Covenant Legendary if you are already Kyrian; I would definitely suggest finding a strong DPS player to put it on, they will be very appreciative.

While you should always pick the best legendary for the content that you care about the most first, if you desire to participate equally various types of content, we recommend that you pick up either Ursoc's Fury Remembered or The Natural Order's Will, as they are both well-rounded options.

Regardless of the content you are doing, these will each provide comfortable benefits and large power increases.

Our goal as tanks for Raiding is first of all to survive, and then to deal as much damage as we can while remaining safe; therefore legendaries that help us achieve both of these goals are rated highly, however in some circumstances we may need to go full defensive if the damage intake is incredibly high or even completely offensive if the damage intake is insignificant.

1. The Natural Order's Will provides the best defensive bonus we can get from any of the legendary effects; the 2 bonus Ironfurs and Frenzied Regenerations that we gain each time we cast Barkskin is completely unmatched. We gain a huge armor and healing increase overall and it provides us with an enormously powerful low cooldown defensive to rotate through comfortably.
2. Ursoc's Fury Remembered grants Thrash the ability to trigger multiple times, and gain an absorb for 75% of all damage it deals, including DoT ticks. This can be incredibly powerful on encounters with multiple adds active or swarming in from time to time.
3. Draught of Deep Focus is a purely single target legendary for us; it has a noteworthy combination with Necrolord's Adaptive Swarm and our Cat-weaving rotation that makes it our highest single target DPS legendary. It is a huge boost to our damage on single target encounters where we can comfortably Cat-weave.
4. Legacy of the Sleeper grants your Berserk/ Incarnation: Guardian of Ursoc 25% increased damage, 15% Leech, and immunity to crowd control effects. This has great synergy with our tier set bonuses and becomes a great choice when we can equip two Legendaries.

Mythic+ generally involves tanking multiple mobs at the same time, along with hard hitting bosses.

Depending on the level of the key and affixes for the week, you may choose to switch up to a more offensive build or a more defensive build week-to-week and key-to-key.

1. Ursoc's Fury Remembered is great for keys where you do not need to go full defensive and will generally cover a hefty majority of your damage intake, reducing your damage taken in a key significantly overall.
2. Legacy of the Sleeper grants your Berserk/ Incarnation: Guardian of Ursoc 25% increased damage, 15% Leech, and immunity to crowd control effects. This legendary can enable you to pull off some very impressive pulls in Mythic+, the leech will make you almost immortal for the duration. It is great if you are planning to do some extra large pulls with your group.
3. The Natural Order's Will provides an enormous defensive benefit, allows you to save Frenzied Regeneration charges more easily, and is great for hard-hitting bosses.

Torghast is quite similar to Mythic+ in the way legendaries are valued for Guardian Druids, however there is a unique Torghast-only legendary that can allow you to progress far further than usual, if that is your goal.

1. Stable Phantasma Lure is a special legendary that increases the Torghast-only currency you get by a significant amount. It is great if you are really trying to push high into the Torghast layers, as the powers you can unlock are incredibly strong.
2. Ursoc's Fury Remembered can keep you safe while also increasing your damage significantly, and is a great all-round choice.
3. Legacy of the Sleeper will provide you with a huge damage boost and let you smash out the Torghast layers quicker.
