Classic EraPhase 2Dire MaulTank

Notes

This list builds on the Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair gear, with PvP items and world boss drops added.

Dire Maul has no separate list of its own.

Rings and trinkets are ranked: the best option is in slot 1.

Classic Era has no gem sockets, so this list has no gems.
