Balance Druid PvP best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 20 Druid in the WoW Forever beta, with stats and sources for every item. Stamina first, then arcane damage and spell power, then Intellect. Leather wins when two pieces are close. The $100,000 duel tournament (October 17 and 18) is played at level 30.

Level 20 list, kept as it was before the beta went to level 30 on October 1. See the level 30 list

Campfire buffs come on top of these: sit by a campfire for a minute and each object placed around it gives its buff for an hour. The duel tournament bans them.

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for duels and battlegrounds at the level 20 cap: weapon damage, then the main stat and Stamina. Quests marked “in Classic” come from Classic’s data: Forever may have moved their level. Seen something better on a stream or in your bags? Tell us through the note at the bottom right.

The Druid buffs and nerfs of each beta update are in the patch notes.
