Guardian Druid Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Season 4

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Guardian Druid for Dragonflight 10.2.6. 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%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

For Guardian Druids in Season 4, our tier set bonus buffs both our damage and rage generation from Mangle and Thrash. It also increases our damage done by Maul and Raze whilst increasing our health by 15%. This helps us deal great damage and remain incredibly tanky.

With Crafted Items, you can craft items with customizable stats in nearly all slots with up to iLvl 525. This means that crafted gear is 3 item levels below the max mythic track and, therefore, great early filler items but rarely absolute bis outside of your 2 chosen embellishment pieces.

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 (with Alchemical Flavor Pocket)
4. Signet of Titanic Insight
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.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion. Here are the best items to spend your Bullions on in Dragonflight Season 4.

1. Manic Grieftorch
2. Augury of the Primal Flame
3. Rashon, the Immortal Blaze
4. Seal of Diurna's Chosen
5. Voice of the Silent Star
6. Seal of Filial Duty
7. Ouroboreal Necklet

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. This list only has our most powerful trinkets, any trinket not listed here is considerably weaker.

1. Manic Grieftorch
2. Augury of the Primal Flame
3. Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart
4. Cataclysmic Signet Brand
5. Beacon to the Beyond
6. Elementium Pocket Anvil
7. Storm-Eater's Boon
8. Controlled Current Technique

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.
