TheWoWDBMythic+
Guardian Druid Mythic+ data from tracked players
Counts from TheWoWDB-tracked Guardian Druid players, not an expert rotation. Cohort: the highest Mythic+ rated characters among US players we crawl from the rated PvP ladders. Sample size 50. Data timestamp 2026-10-18T10:15:54Z. Most-used is a frequency in this cohort.
Takes on the form of a mighty bear to absorb damage and protect allies. Preferred Weapon: Staff, Polearm
Mastery: Nature's GuardianThe tables in this block come from a different sample than the talent tables further down: Guardian characters in the highest Mythic+ keys we captured gear for, US and EU. The Guardian overview has the same data with both talent builds.
Sample: n=363 characters · EU 197, US 166 · keys +12 to +24, median +21 · October 6, 2026 to October 19, 2026 · updated October 19, 2026 11:46 UTC
Top Guardian players stack Haste > Critical Strike > Mastery > Versatility on their gear.

| # | Stat | Median share of secondary rating | Median rating on gear | Highest secondary for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Haste | 39.5% | 1,137 | 295 of 363 (81%) |
| 2 | Critical Strike | 30.4% | 866 | 58 of 363 (16%) |
| 3 | Mastery | 16.9% | 482 | 8 of 363 (2%) |
| 4 | Versatility | 12.9% | 368 | 2 of 363 (1%) |
How this is computed: for each character we add up the Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery and Versatility rating printed on every equipped item, then take each stat's share of that total. The table shows the median share across the sample. Gems, enchants, buffs and talents are not included. This is what top players chose to wear, not simulated stat weights; a sim of your own character is the better tool for close calls. Stats joined by = are within 2 points of each other.

- This page aggregates TheWoWDB-tracked Guardian Druid characters. It is not a rotation guide and it is not a world-first raid note.
- Cohort: the highest Mythic+ rated characters among US players we crawl from the rated PvP ladders. The character profiles behind this page come from our crawl of the US rated PvP ladders, so players who never queue rated PvP are not in it.
- The talent, gear, and stat tables describe the top 50 tracked players (cap 50) after requiring a stored talent loadout. Characters without a loadout do not count.
- A page is published only when at least 30 such players exist. Below that, the URL 404s so a thin sample cannot rank.
- Most-used means the highest count in this cohort. It is not a verdict that the choice is correct.
- Embellishments are omitted: the Armory equipment payload we store lists slot, item, enchants, and gems, and does not flag embellishments.
- PvP talent names come from the character profile when present. Mythic+ pages rank the cohort by stored mythic rating; PvP pages rank by the current US leaderboard rating; builds pages rank by item level.
- The gear block at the top of this page is a separate sample: characters in the highest Mythic+ keys we captured equipment for (US and EU), read from data/spec_gear_summary.json with its own n and dates.
- Client build for talent-tree labels: 12.1.5.70448.
