Gearing a Balance Druid
A large portion of gearing, outside of knowing what is your best items, isreliant on item level. Try not to overthink gearing, as most upgrades should beeasily identifiable. After item level, you can further scrutinize the SecondaryStats looking for Mastery gear and itemswith sockets.
For more information on stats, you can check our comprehensive Stats pageand Gems and Enchants page.

The Importance of Simming
It is crucial to use Raidbots to get anaccurate idea of what gear is good and what is terrible. There are so manyvariables that can change which pieces you would equip. While a cursory glancecan be enough to determine what is usable, deciding what is best among what isgood is a more nuanced decision.

Season 4 Tier Set
- Two Piece Set:
Starsurge and
Starfall increase the damageof your next
Wrath or
Starfire by 30%, stacking 3-times.
- Four Piece Set: When you enter Eclipse, your next
Starsurge or
Starfall costs 15 less Astral Power and deals 40% increased damage.
The two-piece is primarily a passive effect as you will be using the stacksyou gain regularly. If you try to micro-manage it, you can try to stack it up tothree times before use, but other buffs take priority over this one.
The four piece is consumed on your first spender on entering Eclipse. You cansometimes stack this by entering Eclipse, using the buff, and then enter Primordial Arcanic Pulsar, which will allow you to do more burst or havestronger AoE.
It is recommended to swap to this set when you have both bonuses at equal orhigher item level than your current tier set.

Best Gear To Spend Bullions On For Balance Druid
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 onin Dragonflight Season 4.
Vakash, the Shadowed Inferno
Neltharion's Call to Suffering
Whispering Incarnate Icon
Voice of the Silent Star
Seal of Filial Duty
These are the recommended items in the order of highest % gain from nothing.Use Raidbots to sim your upgrades to find what is the best item for you beforeyou make your purchase.
5.1.
Best Embellishments
The best overall embellishments:
Source | Embellishment |
---|---|
Leatherworking |
|
Leatherworking |
|
Your primary embellishment selection will be Toxic Thorn Footwraps anda crafted Leather piece with
Toxified Armor Patch, most likely yourgloves or wrist.
Elemental Lariat will become viable when you have the full 8-gems.This will allow you to have the same output as the boots but no downsides onsurvivability.
Blue Silken Lining will be the highest simming embellishment outof all options. You will need about 40% uptime, which is easily achievable inMythic+ but less so in raids. This can be crafted on any item and can bestacked twice for maximum effectiveness.
5.1.1.
Best Crafting Order for Balance Druid
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. Toxified Armor Patch does notscale with item level of the piece it is crafted on only on
Toxic Thorn Footwrapsthemselves.
Toxic Thorn Footwraps
Primal Molten Spellblade with offhand,
Illuminating Pillar of the Isles if no offhand
Signet of Titanic Insight (with
Alchemical Flavor Pocket)
- You can upgrade your
Toxified Armor Patch crafted item if you have no other immediate needs.
- From this point, we strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.
5.2.
Professions
For personal, tangible benefits in Raids and Dungeons, we recommendtaking Alchemy. It grants extra healing on potion use as well as movement speed.Alchemy can also make it easier to use Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage, whichcan be the best Phial for Balance Druid.
