Where these come from

A best-in-slot list answers one question: if every drop landed your way, what would a Feral Tank Druid be wearing? This is wowtbc.gg's answer for TBC, vendored with this site's data rather than fetched live — and it is the same list the raid checker grades a Druid against, so a page here and a verdict there cannot disagree about what BiS means.

The P3 list covers 16 slots, from the head (Vengeful Gladiator's Dragonhide Helm) down. Each row names where the item comes from — the boss and the zone, the vendor, or the token it is traded for — with the enchant that slot wants and the gems the list prescribes. A tanking list is not a damage list with more stamina on it: it is built around avoidance, the defence cap, and the threat a tank holds while wearing both.

Where the list wears two or more pieces of one set, the row says which set, how many pieces, and what each tier gives in the game's own words; a tier it does not reach is marked as not reached. Every simulated figure on a tanking spec is signed on damage taken rather than damage dealt — that is the metric wowsims' simulator runs this spec on.

Lists exist for six phases — Pre-Raid, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 — and each is a different set of drops, not a longer version of the last.
