How These BiS Lists Are Worked Out
Each specialization's gear list is derived directly from World of Warcraft: Forever game client item data and the stat weights shown on each spec page.
- Proficiency & Eligibility: Only equipment wearable by the specialization—accounting for armor class and weapon proficiency—is considered.
- Stat Scoring: Items are scored from the client's item stats with the stat weights shown on each spec page, adding base weapon DPS for weapon slots.
- Faction Filtering: Quest rewards and reputation vendors are separated by faction so each list shows only obtainable gear for your character.
- Alternative Options: Alongside the top recommendation for each slot, runners-up provide flexible alternatives, with drop sources listed where known.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Best in Slot (BiS) list in WoW Forever?
A Best in Slot list identifies the highest-performing gear available for each equipment slot on your character sheet, calculated from item stats and weapon damage.
Why are Alliance and Horde lists separated?
Certain quest rewards and faction reputations are available only to either Alliance or Horde characters. Selecting your faction filters out unobtainable gear.
How often are gear recommendations updated?
The lists are rebuilt from each new game client build.
Can I customize stat weights or save my own gear set?
Yes. The upcoming gear planner allows you to customize stat weights, build unique gear configurations, and share builds directly with link parameters or copyable Discord text.
