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, Haste 0.64, Critical Strike 0.49, Mastery 0.49, Versatility 0.48). 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 check shows up once the top players board has data. 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.
Source and patch

Frequently asked questions
What is the best-in-slot gear for Guardian Druid in Patch 12.1.0.69933?
For Guardian Druid on cleave: Head: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Somnolent Stare; Neck: Sentinel's Vitriolic Chain; Shoulder: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Plumage; Back: Bloodthorn Burnous; Chest: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Lunar Raiment; Wrist: Fury-fletched Armlets; Hands: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Gauntlets; Waist: Primal Dinomancer's Belt; Legs: Enigmatic Dreamwatcher's Leggings; Feet: Arctic Explorer's Legwraps; Rings: Alluring Bubbleband; Trinkets: Font of Venomous Rage; Main hand: Twin-Strike Polearm. 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?
Twin-Strike Polearm, from Adderis and Aspix, scores highest against the Guardian Druid stat weights at the season ceiling. Weapons with a proc or on-use effect are flagged on the board, since the score leaves the effect out.
Where does Guardian best-in-slot gear come from?
Of the 13 best-in-slot picks, 8 come from the raid, 5 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?
There's no top-player sample for Guardian Druid yet. The check appears once the top players board has data.
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 update, when the stat weights and trinket boards are re-simmed. The methodology section shows the SimC build used.
