Druid Tank best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 20 Druid in the WoW Forever beta, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Tank list: Stamina and armor first: Bear Form multiplies the armor on your gear, so leather with a high armor number beats the same stats on cloth. Then Agility, which is dodge and more armor, then Defense. Unlike in Classic, the weapon's damage counts in Bear Form, and more damage means more threat. So the weapon here is chosen on its stats and its damage together.

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

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for dungeons at the level 20 cap, on what the list says it weighs at the top of the page. 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.
