Gearing is relatively unimportant in Wrath of the Lich King compared to previous expansions. Stats are far more balanced, and there are far more options for every slot. Indeed, the differences between different items of the same item level are almost negligible, so you can be almost completely correct by simply wearing any relevant gear of the highest item level available to you. Therefore, the concept of “BiS” is a bit outdated in this expansion. However, it can still be helpful to know which pieces to look out for.

There are two lists included below; the standard list simply shows the best item in each slot for Pre-raid (a newly levelled character), Phase 1 (all pre-Ulduar content), and Phase 2 content. The “Progressive” list explains the rationale behind these choices while giving multiple alternatives for each slot. I highly recommend reading on, as there are many strong options for each slot in WotLK, and tunnel-visioning on the best available item is not an efficient way to gear your character!

These lists are made using information and simulation tools from Nerdegghead and others on the Druid Classic Discord.

Feral DPS Best in Slot List

This tab shows the best gear options available for a player who has just reached level 80 in Phase 2. It only includes gear that can be earned outside of weekly lockouts — that means no raid gear and no gear bought with arena points. It does however include gear earned with honor and through heroic dungeons.

Blizzard have said that in Phase 2, they will move items that previously dropped in 10-man raids to “Heroic Plus” dungeons, which are Heroic dungeons tuned to be more difficult. We do not yet know which items will drop from which dungeons or bosses, but I have included these items in this list as well.

This tab shows the best gear options available outside of Ulduar. It includes gear from Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, and Eye of Eternity. It does not include current season arena gear. It does not include Bind on Equip gear that requires materials from Ulduar to craft. The purpose of this tab is to show you how to best prepare your character for Ulduar, which will bring new challenges to the game. Effectively, it shows the best-in-slot items from Phase 1.

Blizzard have said that in Phase 2, they will move items that previously dropped in 25-man raids to drop in 10-man raids as well. It is assumed that these items will be available from the same bosses, but in either version of the raid.

This tab shows the best gear options available from all sources in Phase 2.

Any Dungeon (Heroic Plus) – Final boss
The Oculus (Heroic Plus) – Drakos the Interrogator
Engineering (440)
The Oculus (Heroic) – Ley-Guardian Eregos

heroesdreamwalkerheadguard is the best non-raid helm option for a fresh 80 Feral. Previously from Naxxramas 10, these will be available from a Heroic Plus dungeon instead. Weaknessspecs are a strong option, but require Engineering to craft and use — I personally recommend getting these, as I consider Engineering a “must-have” profession anyway, and they are fairly cheap to craft. Otherwise, Maskofthewatcher is a good alternative from The Oculus (Heroic).

Valorousdreamwalkerheadguard is the best available non-Ulduar helm for a Feral DPS. It is best individually and also an ideal contributor to the 2-piece set bonus. hoodoftheexodus and and heroesdreamwalkerheadguard are almost equal in value, so use heroesdreamwalkerheadguard if it gets you a tier bonus.

conqnightsonghead is the best available helm option for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. Though Mimirongoggles are very slightly better in a vacuum, conqnightsonghead is an efficient place to pick up your 2-piece set bonus. They are also easier to get, not requiring a hard-mode kill. The other alternatives are equal in value to conqnightsonghead, but without contributing to a set bonus.

pendantofthedragonsworn is the best non-raid neck option for a fresh 80 Feral. gemofimprisonedvassals and Collarofdissolution are equal to each other individually, but the hit and expertise on it makes the latter difficult to fit into a complete set without wasting stats above the hit cap / expertise cap.

Naxxramas (10/25) – Sapphiron (via Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris)

Favorofthedragonqueen is the best available non-Ulduar neck option for a Feral DPS. It is a quest reward from Heroic Judgement at the Eye of Eternity. For this, you must receive Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris from Sapphiron in Naxxramas, then kill Malygos in Eye of Eternity.

pendulumofinfinity is the best available overall neck option for Feral DPS in Phase 2. Despite Frigidstrengthofhodir and Seedofbuddingcarnage being better than it in a vacuum, the hit rating on these pieces cannot be efficiently utilised without exceeding the hit cap. Note that pendulumofinfinity and Frigidstrengthofhodir are rare, contested and hard to attain. Broachofthewailingnight is an easily attainable alternative that is relatively close in value to the others.

Heroesdreamwalkerspauldrons are the strongest non-raid option for a fresh 80 Feral. However, I personally recommend going for Trollwovenshoulders, which are nearly as good and can be bought cheaply on the auction house.

valorousdreamwalkershoulderpads are the best available non-Ulduar shoulders for Feral DPS. They drop from Loatheb and Gluth in Naxxramas. Concealmentshoulderpads can drop from Sartharion, and although they are actually better than valorousdreamwalkershoulderpads in a vacuum, the tier shoulders are the ideal place to get your 2-piece set bonus.

If you already have your set bonus without the shoulders, you can swap to Concealmentshoulderpads for a small DPS upgrade. spauldersofegotism are a decent alternative, and can be earned in Naxxramas or bought on the auction house, as they are Bind on Equip.

Ulduar (25) – Steelbreaker
Ulduar (25) – Yogg-Saron
Ulduar (25) – XT-002 Deconstructor
Ulduar (25) – Kologarn

shoulderpadsoftheintruder are the best available shoulder option for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. They drop from the Assembly of Iron in Ulduar (25) if you kill Steelbreaker last, which is the most difficult way to go about the encounter. They are therefore rare and are also contested by other physical DPS dealers, and as such may be very difficult to get.

The alternatives are close in value to each other, so if you cannot get shoulderpadsoftheintruder I would recommend using conqnightsongshoulderpads to contribute to your set bonus.

Drapeofthefacelessgeneral is the best available cloak for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. It drops from General Vezax in Ulduar (10) and could prove a challenge to get. DrapeofIcyIntent is equal in value individually, but the hit rating can be difficult to fit into a complete set. Additionally, both DrapeofIcyIntent and Drapeoftheskyborn are difficult items to get. Drapeofthelithe is a bit worse than the other alternatives, but should be easier to get your hands on.

Chestguardoftherecuse is the best available non-Ulduar chest option for a Feral DPS. It drops from Malygos, but is rare and contested by other physical DPS. If you struggle to get this, your next best option is Valorousdreamwalkerraiments from Naxxramas. Although tunicofindulgence is individually slightly better than tier, the tier chest is a good source of a set bonus in the absence of chestguardoftherecluse.

Embraceofthegladiator is the best available chestpiece for a Feral DPS in Phase 2, but only drops from Hard Mode Thorim in Ulduar (25). It is also a powerful item likely to be contested by other physical DPS. The alternatives listed are all less good but more easily obtained, including Chestguardoftherecluse from Phase 1.

Cuffsofdarkshadows are my recommended non-raid bracer option for a fresh 80 Feral. Wristwrapsofthecutthroat are slightly better, but are bought with emblemofvalor from raid content. I include them as an alternative here because they are Bind on Equip, and can be bought on the auction house. They aren’t too expensive, but aren’t that great either. DrakeChampionsBracers are also Bind on Equip, and tend to be dirt-cheap — I recommend getting these first as they are good enough, to last you until you get a solid raid item.

Wristwrapsofthecutthroat are the best non-Ulduar wrists in a complete set for a Feral DPS. They are earned with 60 emblemsofvalor, but are Bind on Equip and can also be bought on the auction house.

Although Thrustingbands are actually considerably more powerful than wristwrapsofthecutthroat in a vacuum, the hit rating on them is hard to fit into a complete set. This means that the hit rating would bring you above hit cap, wasting the stat completely and making the wrists far worse than the alternatives.

However, if you are not hit-capped in your set, you should wear ThrustingBands over Wristwrapsofthecutthroat.

Fluxingenergycoils are the best available bracers for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. Solarbindings are equal in value individually — note that the former has hit rating, and the latter has expertise rating.

If you can use the hit rating in your set but not the expertise rating (due to hit vs. expertise caps), the Fluxingenergycoils are better. On the other hand, if you can use the expertise rating but not the hit rating, then Solarbindings are better.

In this set, Fluxingenergycoils come out ahead — not to mention they are also easier to obtatin! Mechanistsbindings are worse than both of these options, but are still a solid alternative.

If you cannot get these, the alternatives are quite close in value to one another, making valorousdreamwalkerhandgrips a decent source of a tier set bonus.

Conqnightsonghandgrips are the best available gloves for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. While glovesoftheendlessdark and Glovesofthestonereaper are better individually, the hit rating on them can be difficult to fit into a complete set, and that makes Conqnightsonghandgrips an efficient source of your 2-piece set bonus. Frostedadroithandguards from Phase 1 are an OK alternative, but, again, the hit rating makes them difficult to fit in.

Runedironhideboots are almost equal in value – if you cannot utilise the hit on Footpadsofsilence but can utilise the expertise on Runedironhideboots, you should use these. Otherwise, flamestalkerboots are a fine alternative, though worse than the first two.

There are many ring options available for a fresh 80 Feral, the best two being surgeneedlering and Greatringofcollision. These are powerful rings contested by many other players, and surgeneedlering is Bind on Equip but very expensive to buy. The other options are viable, though I wouldn’t recommend spending 9,000 gold on a Kirin Tor ring for any reason. Titaniumimpactring is a cheaper craftable alternative.

Branssignetring and Bandoflights are the two best available rings for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. The former drops from Algalon the Observer in Ulduar (25) via his guaranteed quest item drop, replycodealpha. While this is a guaranteed drop, he is a difficult boss to kill and it is likely to be very contested. Bandoflights drops off Algalon directly in Ulduar (10) and may be similarly difficult to obtain. Note that there are many ring alternatives in Ulduar, almost all of which are better than any Phase 1 options; I recommend grabbing whatever you can, as the best few listed here may all be difficult to get your hands on.

DMCG and Mirroroftruth are the best available trinkets for a fresh 80 Feral. However, DMCG is quite expensive and is less impactful for Feral than for other classes. Indeed, DMCG can be replaced by trinkets in Ulduar, should you be lucky enough to receive them. Still, it is a strong option and easily obtained if you have the gold to spend. The listed alternatives are considerably worse, but workable.

DMCG and grimtoll are the best available non-ulduar trinkets for a Feral DPS. However, DMCG is quite expensive, and less impactful for Feral than other classes. Still, it is a strong trinket and easily obtained if you have the gold to spend. Grimtoll is also a powerful trinket, but can be quite contested by other physical DPS players.

Note that whether or not you have grimtoll changes your full set considerably, as it has a lot of hit rating which brings you to hit cap quite easily, meaning this set “dropped hit” in certain slots. If you do not have grimtoll, you should use other powerful pieces with hit rating highlighted in the other slots of this guide (e.g. wrists, belt, boots).

Mirroroftruth is an easily attained and powerful alternative. The others listed are a bit worse, but workable if you do not have access to the top two.

Mjolnirrunestone and Cometstrail are the best available trinkets for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. Mjolnirrunestone drops from Hard mode Thorim in Ulduar (10), and can therefore be difficult to obtain. However, it is a massive upgrade over all other available trinkets.

Cometstrail drops from Algalon in Ulduar (25), and as such can also be difficult to obtain. It is far less impactful, and is only a little bit ahead of the other listed trinkets.

Personally, I would recommend trying your best to get Mjolnirrunestone, and settling for any other listed trinket in the second slot. Note that the hit rating on Grimtoll would mean changing other items in your set to stay within the hit cap, but that this effective cost in included in the trinket rankings here.

Dreambinder is the best available weapon for a Feral DPS in Phase 2. It drops from Algalon and HM Freya in Ulduar (25). Although Algalon is difficult to kill, Freya is one of the easiest hard modes. Also, the item should not be contested; hunters may also want it, but note that a Feral gets 3,000 more attack power from this item than a Hunter does! Darkedgeofdepravity is close in value, but is more contested. There are many other alternatives available in Ulduar which are considerably worse than these two options, but almost all of them are better than anything from Phase 1.

There is only one relevant pre-Ulduar tanking idol. It is easy to earn with just a couple of quests in southwest Grizzly Hills.

Naxxramas (10/25) – Grand Widow Faerlina

beast and Worship are the best available idols for a Feral DPS. They are both best in slot because Feral DPS players can swap idols in combat, which will reset your swing timer but not induce a global cooldown if done correctly. This means you can boost your rip damage with Worship and then swap your idol to also boost your shred damage once rip has been applied.

I recommend visiting the Druid Classic Discord to learn more if you want to try this out. If only using one idol, they are extremely close in value. Latest phase 2 figures put beast just ahead, but you should check with a simulation tool for your character to be sure.

I've been an avid WoW player since Vanilla. At 6 years old, I was slowly progressing through Blackfathom Deeps and levelling up with my brothers. Since Classic Wow launched, I've found a new way to enjoy the game; participating in Feral Druid theorycrafting communities and performing well in an underdog class has been a fun challenge. I hope to be able to share all I've learned with anyone who shares that interest!
