How this list works
Herald of the Titans requires defeating Algalon the Observer in Ulduar with your average item level at or under 226 — so unlike the Phase 4 BiS list, "best" here means the strongest gear that still keeps you under the cap, drawn from Ulduar, Trial of the Champion, Naxxramas and crafted items rather than the current raid tier. Shirt and tabard are deliberately left unequipped on every spec: both count toward your average, and the compendium this is sourced from explicitly warns against wearing either.
Every item name links straight to Wowhead's WotLK Classic database with the real gems baked into the tooltip URL, so the tooltip you see on hover is the real, live item — full stats, sockets and all. The line under each item name shows its real enchant; hover the item itself for gems.
Item tooltips and icons above are served live from Wowhead.com — RealNibba doesn't host or create that data, and isn't affiliated with Wowhead. The portrait screenshot changes with your selected class and shows the real Ulduar 25-man tier set for that class, a real community submission from Wowhead's own item set page.
Track this in-game
The H/A Bis Tracker addon tracks this exact Herald of the Titans list live in-game — a dressed 3D character preview of your ilvl-capped target gear, real-time roll/drop alerts so a BiS piece never slips by unrolled, and a tooltip hook that tells you on hover whether an item's worth grabbing. It's built around this achievement specifically, so there's nothing extra to install.
