The percentage is the item’s score next to the best item in that slot. Two names with a slash are the Alliance and Horde versions of the same item. Trinkets and weapons with “on use” or “chance on hit” effects are ranked by their passive stats only, so read those two slots as a starting point.

Method
How this list is made
Each item’s score is the sum of its stats multiplied by the weights below. Stats are read from the live client, build 1.60.1.70888; the list is regenerated automatically on every new client build. The weights are the usual priorities for the role, not the output of a simulation. If your own priorities differ, use the percentages as a guide.
Answers
Balance Druid gear FAQ
What is the best pre-raid weapon for Balance Druid in WoW Forever?
By our scoring, Persuader. It ranks first among weapons a Druid can use with item level 65 or lower, read from the live client (build 1.60.1.70888).
What is the pre-raid BiS helm for Balance Druid?
Bloodvine Goggles (crafted: engineering), followed by Living Crown and Dreamweave Circlet.
How is this list made?
Every item in the live client that a Druid can wear is scored as the sum of its stats times a weight for Balance (the weights are in the table on this page). It is a calculation from the item table, not a simulation and not a copy of another site’s list.
Where do these items come from?
The client only records some sources: crafted items and items sold by vendors are labelled. Boss drops and quest rewards are not stored in the client, so those items carry no source here; check the item in game or in a database before farming for it.
Does this include raid gear?
No. The level 60 list stops at item level 65, which is where dungeon, quest, crafted and reputation gear ends in the live client. Raids open on 9 December 2026, and raid drops sit above that item level.
