Balance Druid Best in Slot — Classic, Phase 4 — Zul'Gurub
Icy Veins' own "Phase 4" table, which explicitly covers "Zul'Gurub and Blackwing Lair" gear together (per the source guide's own description) — used here for our Phase 4 (Zul'Gurub) slot, though some Blackwing Lair carryover items are included alongside genuine Zul'Gurub pieces. Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WoW Classic Era Balance Druid Ranged Dps gear guide. Rings/Trinkets: the source lists 2-4 ranked options in one row (you equip two) — split here into two named slots, top pick in slot 1; combined source text kept for both. Classic Era predates gem sockets entirely (introduced in Cataclysm) — no gems section applies.
