Melee DPS · Updated 2026-07-23

Phase 1 list (Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon's Lair). Cat DPS list — Wolfshead Helm (no meta gem) beats every raid helm, and two-piece Tier 4 (Malorne) rounds out the set. Mark of the Champion is a Classic-era Naxxramas legacy item, only relevant if carried over. Draft compiled from the Icy Veins TBC Classic Feral Druid DPS gear guide (Phase 1 table).
