I am often flummoxed when trying to decide
which piece of loot to take from a quest or to purchase for an upgrade. I end up doing math on index cards or, if I'm really desperate, cranking out Excel and going for full-on geekery. Sometimes, though, this seems like way too much trouble and I will probably end up dumping the thing soon anyway. Although the
Armory offers a "find an upgrade" tool, it's simply a list of items with stats. I still end up doing the math. So I went searching for
some easier ways to figure out my next best loot options and here I share them with you.
- Kaliban's Class Loot Lists - Probably considered the gold standard of loot resource sites. Choose your class and then slice and dice until you find your perfect match. I found loot for level 68+.
- Loot Rank - Lets you enter complex stat requirements and weight the stats you like best. It seems targeted to endgame players for the most part.
- Lootzor - Lets you choose any level gear and even normal instance gear. Weighted stats.
- ShadowPanther - Rogues R us. Breaks down recommendations by every category imaginable.
- Druid Wiki - Recommendations for druids of all specs, including a section called "Must have quest rewards."

Amanna has
mentioned an awesome little tool for tanking Druids with a great name:
Rawr. It's a completely separate application for Windows (sorry Mac users) that will pull down your gear from the Armory, and help you not only see your tanking strengths and weaknesses, but help you choose upgrades, both in terms of gear and gems on it.
Astrylian of Kilrogg put it all together, and it looks like a really amazing tool for bears. Unfortunately, no other classes or Druid specs are supported yet (Astrylian says cats are next on the list), but if you're a bear who's been trying to make some good gear choices lately, this could be just what you need. Rawr is still in beta and available as
a free download on the Druid wiki.

Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them, brought to you by David Bowers and Dan O'Halloran. I promised that I'd cover pre-Karazhan Restoration gear in this week's column, but I've since discovered that WoW Wiki has already done it! Their list includes all Burning Crusade gear, so just look at the pre-raid items. These lists come in two flavors at WoW Wiki:
leather only and
cloth only, depending on your style.
And while you're there, check out the different Restoration builds are available to healing druids on their
Druid Build page. There's also an excellent sticky post on the US Druid Forums
Gearing up For BC Endgame Healing.
This leads me to the topic of today's column: online resources for Druids. Today, I'm going to highlight gear guides, build guides, play guides, and wikis that provides useful information for the Warcraft Druid.
