Methodology

Stat weights

Each item's stats are multiplied by the Guardian Druid stat weights from the weekly scale-factor sim (normalized: Agility 1.00, Critical Strike 0.49, Versatility 0.48, Haste 0.47, Mastery 0.46). Full stat priority.

Trinkets

Taken from the weekly simmed trinket leaderboard, 50,000 iterations per trinket on the canonical baseline profile, since trinket value is mostly effect. Trinket leaderboard.

Item level

Raid and Mythic+ drops at the Myth 6/6 ceiling (334), crafted gear at the crafted cap, everything else at its fixed item level. Stats scaled with SimulationCraft's item scaling from the game's DB2 tables.

Tier pieces and crafted gear

Tier pieces are pinned to rank one of their slot for the set bonus. Crafted gear is priced with its two crafter-chosen secondaries set to the spec's two best stats at an even split.

Top-player check

No top-player sample for this spec yet; the usage check appears once the top-player board has been seeded. Top Guardian players.

Not included

On-use and proc effects outside the trinket slot (flagged), embellishments, set-bonus interactions between slots, and the combined value of a full set. Rankings are per item on a fixed baseline, not a solved set. Paste your /simc string for your own gear.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best-in-slot gear for Guardian Druid in Patch 12.1.0.69587?

For Guardian Druid on single target: Head: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Somnolent Stare; Neck: Aqirbane Reliquary; Shoulder: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Plumage; Back: Amani Summoning Shawl; Chest: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Lunar Raiment; Wrist: Kula's Butchering Wristwraps; Hands: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Gauntlets; Waist: Rootwalker Harness; Legs: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Leggings; Feet: Bespittled Slitherslippers; Rings: Apex Brute's Claw Ring; Trinkets: Font of Venomous Rage; Main hand: Tidepiercer's Bubble Popper. Stat items are ranked by the spec's simmed stat weights and trinkets by their simmed DPS gain.

What is the best weapon for Guardian Druid?

Tidepiercer's Bubble Popper, from Nymrissa Wavecaller, scores highest against the Guardian Druid stat weights at the season ceiling. If it carries a proc effect that is not in the score, so treat it as a strong candidate rather than a settled answer.

Where does Guardian best-in-slot gear come from?

Of the 13 best-in-slot picks, 11 come from the raid, 2 from Mythic+ dungeons and 0 from crafted gear. Open the best dungeons page for a per-dungeon breakdown.

Does this match what top Guardian Druid players actually wear?

No top-player sample exists for Guardian Druid yet, so the page cannot say. The check appears automatically once the top-player board is seeded.

How is this ranked without simming every item?

Each item's stats at the season ceiling are multiplied by the Guardian Druid stat weights (DPS per point, from the weekly scale-factor sim). Trinkets come from the simmed trinket leaderboard. Items with effects outside the trinket slot are flagged because a weight cannot value an effect.

Why is the tier piece ranked first even when another item has better stats?

The 4-set bonus is worth more than a stat difference, so tier pieces are pinned. The alternatives are what to wear before the set is complete or in the fifth tier slot.

How often is this updated?

Every Sunday after the weekly SimulationCraft bump, when the stat weights and trinket boards are resimmed. The SimC commit in the methodology is the authoritative reference.
