Creating a BiS (Best in Slot) equipment list is essential for maximizing your character’s power. This section of the guide will provide both a simple BiS list and a more detailed explanation of the best items for each slot, along with alternatives and extended explanations for their use.

Please note that the items listed are based on their original format from Cataclysm Retail, and any changes implemented in Cataclysm Classic will be updated accordingly. As we await further information regarding item changes, this list will remain a work in progress.

Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available!
