New BIS druid list?

[Midds]

New to the site, was just curious to what the new BIS set up is for a balance druid. From what im reading and experiencing in-game, since 8.1.5 were getting quest items and world boe drops upgrading to epic quality. I even saw a resto shaman in a wsg with a "warforged" onehand. Is it too early to know whats BIS or is there a new post on it somewhere?

 

[Eclipsis]

"Warforged" items in the level 19 bracket came from the legion pre release event, they're nothing to do with the changes that came in 8.1.5.

Druids still want the full fang set, and as no epic gloves of the fang have been cited yet (Except 1 troll post someone is bound to bring up) it's fair to assume they don't exist. Aside from that there's probably some bracers you might wanna look to upgrade epic, otherwise it's just going to be foamspittle.

Thanks for replying!
I have foamspittle with power torent, what enchant would you recommend over power torrent? I see a lot of players with elemental force or spellpower.
I'll keep searching wowhead and doing quests and see what comes.

9 spellpower or EF. EF is probably more generally useful for moonkin, but I've seen spellpower rise in popularity for whatever reason.

EF got nerfed in 8.1.5, so people are trying out spellpower now.

@OP - exactly what Eclipsis said though for gear. Detailed guide in my sig.

Why are you running minor speed on boots, and 2 int on cloak? Shouldn't you have 2stam minor speed boots + 2int cloak, or minor speed boots + vers speed cloak?

Minor speed on boots is the only one that stacks with cat/travel form speed

Ahhh I knew there was a reason, my bad I haven't played druid since WoD.

@Midds , definitely recommend checking out @necroaqua 's BFA gearing guide, it is up to date with the changelog for the latest patch and with green/blue quest and BoE mob specific items that can upgrade to epic for potential BiS. The link directly to this is below, in case you didn't see Necro's earlier comment. +9 SP is reliable damage, and is arguably better with the EF nerf even with its 10 RPPM as it affects every spell cast and tick of your dots.

I'd definitely give the guide a browse just to see which quest weapons you should target first, then you go from there with a general idea.

Look at my sig. Pretty sure my Druid is BiS boomy. Not sure what else I can get besides bracers and a ring maybe ? Haven’t seen any rings or bracers with vers so never cared to farm anything on my Druid besides the staff.

not bis.
Trade bug shoulders and legs would be better. also a bwb would be nice. Dungeon bracers or bg bracers with haste/versa and 3 sp enchant might be better too

Swap BG ring with BWB, epic Foamspittle as weapon, bracers are debatable. Either the ones I'm wearing, or dungeon/bg ones with 3 vers 2 haste.

Old Faerie Mantle is a contender for bis shoulders as well.

Faerie mantle old or epic version is a contender for bis shoulders as well.

Can you force a cloth quest drop now?

If you roll horde, you can buy shoulders in stonetalon that will hold you over till epic Boulder pads drop.

Nah you can't, so it's just the old one.

I’m still getting used to my int/sp stacking druid, but from what I’ve seen, if you compare that setup to a stam and vers stacking druid, the int stacker will start making headway in fights longer than a certain amount. Only takes 2 heals for me to get to full, but 3-4 for him. That’s less time healing for me that I can get back to dpsing.

Not to mention your starsurges and dots hit like trucks

Again, I’m still noob sauce when it comes to druid, but I know from just being a decent player, that’s int stacking set has a lot of good things going for it

Getting the shoulders and legs today, never really took the time to do it . I run vers crit bracers for that extra little crit chance of my surge hitting for 650+. And I like the +4 stam because I run around like a idiot in mid. Just my play style. Black widow band I haven’t found one for under 500k. I’m similar to kracks set up but he runs more int less stam and less vers. I’m a lot more balanced, but we have different play styles . Thanks for the input spell

Oh you right. Forgot I was in the 19s forum for a minute. My bad.

You usually run a lot of different sets on druids and use them depending on scenario.
