Phase 4 BiS Lists for Every Class – WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Realm

Phase 4 has officially launched on the WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Realm, bringing with it Zul’Gurub, the Green Dragons, new world buffs, and some of the most significant gear updates since Blackwing Lair. Whether you're raiding, PvPing, or pushing dungeons, updating your BiS list is critical in this phase. Zul’Gurub in particular delivers gear that can rival or even surpass Molten Core and BWL in specific slots.

In this detailed Phase 4 BiS guide, we break down the best-in-slot gear for every class and spec, factoring in Zul’Gurub, Green Dragons, and existing raid content. Whether you’re a melee DPS, ranged DPS, healer, or tank, you’ll find what you need to dominate Phase 4.

Why Update Your BiS in Phase 4?

Phase 4 is a transitional patch. While it doesn't bring new 40-man raids, it introduces powerful catch-up gear, class-specific sets from ZG, and upgrades from green dragons that will carry you deep into Phase 5 and AQ. (Read our Zul'Gurub Phase 4 Guide)

If you’re prepping for Ahn’Qiraj, this is the moment to solidify your setup with a mix of:

• ZG raid epics

• Zandalar Tribe rep rewards

• Green Dragon world boss loot

• Crafted gear enhancements

Final Thoughts

Phase 4 in the WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Realm is your chance to refine your gear, maximize your damage/healing output, and get ready for AQ without relying on 40-man raid grinds. Zul’Gurub, Green Dragons, and reputation rewards offer BiS options for nearly every slot, particularly for hybrid classes and catch-up players.

Even if you’re decked out in BWL loot, Phase 4 content can surprise you with upgrades. Don’t skip it.
