Guardian Druid Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Dragonflight 10.2

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Guardian Druid for Dragonflight 10.2. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Guardian Druid, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more.

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page below.

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be a replacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

• Druid Guardian 10.2 Class Set 2pc
• Druid Guardian 10.2 Class Set 4pc

The 2 piece bonus of the new tier set revolves around spending as much as possible during the Rage of the Sleeper buff window, which will then generate a shield on us after Rage of the Sleeper expires, which absorbs 25% of incoming damage similar to Ignore Pain. The 4 piece bonus makes this shield also deal damage to attackers.

With Crafted Items, you can craft items with customizable stats in nearly all slots with up to iLvl 483. This means that crafted gear is 3 item levels below the max mythic track and, therefore, great early filler items but rarely absolute bis.

If you want to learn more about the Crafting system in general and potentially craft your own items for less Gold, check out our dedicated page below.

This is our general recommendation for the best Crafting Order. It goes for Embellishments first, as they offer the largest increase per Spark, and then goes for powerful iLvl gains.

1. Toxic Thorn Footwraps - Is our highest damage Embellishment.
2. Life-Bound Bindings with Toxified Armor Patch - To be used in combination with Toxic Thorn Footwraps, further increasing the effect.
3. Torc of Passed Time
4. Signet of Titanic Insight (with Alchemical Flavor Pocket)
5. From this point, we strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.

The Revival Catalyst is a feature that allows you to convert any piece into "Tier" while retaining item level, socket, and tertiary perks. This can help you to optimize your gear further, similar to the old reforging system.

Whenever you get a new piece of gear, enchant it or gem it, if possible. In Dragonflight, sockets can come with or be put on: Head, Belt, Wrists, Rings, and Necks. The optimal enchants and gems for Guardian Druids are on the page linked below.

The following is a list of the most noteworthy trinkets available overall, ranked in order of power assuming equivalent item level. If you do not have any of these, your best bet will be to use a stat proc trinket with a reasonably high item level.

1. Augury of the Primal Flame
2. Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart
3. Oakheart's Gnarled Root
4. Cataclysmic Signet Brand
5. Gift of Ursine Vengeance
6. Bandolier of Twisted Blades
7. My'das Talisman
8. Coiled Serpent Idol
9. Ashes of the Embersoul
10. Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge

Offensively, you can refer to the chart below (courtesy of Bloodmallet.com). Note that these are only recommendations based on general sims; you should sim yourself for the most accurate results.
