Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Subtlety Rogue
This page covers what are the best gems, enchants, food, and flask to use as Subtlety Rogue. For more detailed explanations of how stats interact with each other in different scenarios, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
You should have Sensei's Neltharite in all of your sockets and one Inscribed Illimited Diamond.
Note that all the secondary stats are close to each other for Subtlety, so you want to take that into consideration when gemming your gear. The best way to figure out what Gems are best is to simulate your character.

Consumables for Subtlety Rogues
Best Phials and Potions for Subtlety
Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power (or the cheaper version Elemental Potion of Power) is the potion for all situations.
Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage is the highest output Phial for Subtlety Rogues but comes with a hefty downside that can potentially kill you on progression fights, so use it if you feel safe on a given encounter.
Phial of Tepid Versatility is the safest Phial for Subtlety Rogues as it has no downsides, and Versatility also has defensive value.
Dreamwalker's Healing Potion is our healing potion in Dragonflight. Using it will put it on a 5-minute cooldown.
In addition, a Warlock's Healthstones does not share a cooldown with other healing consumables. Remember to use it as well if you are holding one!
Best Food for Subtlety
Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak/ Hoard of Draconic Delicacies/ Deviously Deviled Eggs is your food of choice for some additional Agility. Cheaper options are Filet of Fangs and Revenge, Served Cold.
Other Consumables
Weapon Runes work the same way as Sharpening Stones and Weapon Oils from previous expansions. In Dragonflight, you will want to apply a Buzzing Rune to both of your weapons.
Note that in Dragonflight, you can freely change your talents at any time outside of combat or a mythic+ dungeon. Because of this, there are no tome consumables to worry about!
