Gamers use BIS to stand for "best in slot." You might encounter this acronym in gaming forums or in-game chat, when players are discussing equipable items such as armor, rings, shields, or weapons.
An item that is BIS is the best of its particular kind. Thus, it is the item a player should be looking to equip in that "slot." Which item is BIS may differ based on a character's level, class, and other attributes. So, for example, headgear that is BIS for one player may not even be usable by another.
