Druids, in general, are in a great spot right now. Both of its DPS specializations are performing incredibly well in Castle Nathria, as well as in the PvP environment. The healer and the tanking roles are in the mid-tier, with many opportunities for them to shine. The covenant system of this expansion has proven a key factor for the success of many classes and specs, including the Druid. But to make the Druid class the best that it possibly can be, you’re going to need the best Shadowlands Legendaries for Druid as well. 

So, let’s dive right in!

Our Guide on the Best WoW Shadowlands Legendaries for the Druid class.

What Are Legendary Items in World of Warcraft?

If you’re new to the game, you might not be aware of the full benefits of the Legendary Items. But fear not! This is all you have to know about Legendaries in general in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.

First of all, Legendary Items are a special category of items in WoW. In the past, these pieces of gear were either collected from multiple raids and dungeons, or simply looted from an important boss NPC. However, Shadowlands reinvented Legendaries by giving us a completely new system. And the greatest part about is that we can choose which Legendary effect we want for our characters!

Currently, Legendaries can only be crafted through Torghast, the Tower of the Damned. We have an extensive guide on WoW Torghast and how it works, so make sure you check it out. Basically, Torghast is the place where you gather the currency called Soul Ash. And Soul Ash can later be spent at the Runecarver for your Legendary Item of choice, which is located again, inside Torghast.

However, that’s not all! Here is what you’re going to need to craft Legendaries in WoW Shadowlands:

  • Legendary Powers – collected from various places and activities. 
  • Base Items – crafted with professions or purchased at the Auction House.
  • Missives – crafted with Inscription or purchased at the Auction House.
  • Soul Ash – gathered by completing layers of Torghast.

The formula here is true for the Druid Shadowlands Legendaries as well. For help, you can use the in-game menu of the Adventure Guide to check where you can find all the Legendaries. Or you can scroll down and view the best Shadowlands Legendaries for every Druid’s spec.

The Best Shadowlands Legendaries for Druid

As we have mentioned earlier, the class-specific Shadowlands Legendaries can be very interesting, especially for a Druid. These can be used regardless of your main specialization. And their Legendary effects change depending on the spec you’re currently in. We recommend going this route only if you’re “multi-specing” all the time. Otherwise, there are more powerful choices for each specialization.

Circle of Life and Death is an excellent Legendary item for all Druid specializations. And you will get a good value out of it no matter which role you occupy.

Oath of the Elder Druid is the go-to Legendary for PvP as a Druid in Shadowlands. Its primary intention is to give more survivability to Feral and Balance Druids. However, it can still be pretty useful to Guardian and Restoration as well.

Balance Druid Best Shadowlands Legendaries

The best Legendary Item for Balance Druid in Shadowlands is by far Balance of All Things. This is also the most used Legendary effect for this specialization. It allows for an insane amount of synergy with your Celestial Alignment or Convoke the Spirits, in case you’re a Night Fae Moonkin. The way to use is to either build up to at least 90 Astral Power and then enter an Eclipse. Or simply use Celestial Alignment + Convoke the Spirits for the biggest burst.

Balance of All Things: Entering Eclipse increases your critical strike chance with Arcane or Nature spells by 40%, decreasing by 8% every 1 sec.

Primordial Arcanic Pulsar should be familiar to you if you were a Balance Druid in Battle for Azeroth. If you spend 8-9 Starsurges or 6-7 Starfall, it will automatically activate Celestial Alignment for you. And since this is our biggest cooldown, this Legendary is valued a lot among Moonkins.

Oneth’s Clear Vision is another strong choice, yet the its overshadowed by the previous two Legendaries. It’s pretty easy to use and very fun as well.

Feral Druid Best Shadowlands Legendaries

For Feral Druids, the situation is pretty simple. Of the available Shadowlands Druid Legendaries, the best one is Apex Predator’s Carving. This is by far the biggest increase in damage, specifically single-target damage. Naturally, you’ll want to prioritize this for raiding and PvP.

Circle of Life and Death performs incredibly well in AoE situations, especially when combined with the talent Primal Wrath. Your bleeds will tick 25% faster, which will help you put out more damage in shorter periods. This Legendary should be picked by mythic plus players.

Guardian Druid Best Shadowlands Legendaries

Among the Shadowlands Legendaries for Guardian Druid is The Natural Order’s Will. This is an amazing tool for blocking and regenerating damage in all situations. As you can see, it’s tied with the Barkskin spell, which you have available every minute. But thanks to some conduits, you can lower this cooldown even more. In the end, you have a near “cheat-death” option every 45 seconds!

Ursoc’s Fury Remembered can be your alternative choice if you’re looking to do more damage. Since Thrash is an AoE ability, this Legendary Item is preferred by mythic plus players.

Restoration Druid Best Shadowlands Legendaries

Restoration Druids’ Legendary of choice in Shadowlands is Vision of Unending Growth. The reason for this is, of course, because Rejuvenation is our primary healing spell. We can spread it on multiple targets at once. But thanks to this Legendary, now you can have even more Rejuvenations up at once, without changing your rotation at all!

Verdant Infusion is also an interesting choice, especially if you do not like the change to Swiftmend. Now it will no longer consume a HoT and it will also prolong the duration of your exiting HoTs on your target.

The Dark Titan’s Lesson has a good synergy with a few talents, but it changes your playstyle completely. The other two choices do the same (or more) amount of healing without having break any sweat!

Conclusion

To summarize, here are the best Shadowlands Legendaries for every specialization of the Druid class:

  • Balance of All Things – Balance.
  • Apex Predator’s Carving – Feral.
  • The Natural Order’s Will – Guardian.
  • Vision of Unending Growth – Restoration.

Note that these are the best-performing Druid Legendaries currently in Shadowlands. And things may change in the future patches. So, you shouldn’t choose a Legendary item just because it’s powerful at the moment. Instead, you should aim at what’s most interesting to you personally first, then the results later. Because the truth is that if you play a class or a spec that you enjoy, you’re going to be better than the people who do not.
