Feral Druid DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.2)

Welcome to our Consumables page! Here we will cover the optimal gems, enchants, food, potions, and flasks to use for your character. If you're looking for stat priorities, please check our dedicated page for your Feral Druid.

For all consumables (excluding food) in the lists below, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, look for a lower rank of the same item listed. The price difference is often significant for a small loss in stats gained.

It is recommended that you simulate your character for gems, as individual gear pieces have a big influence. As stats are very similar across different builds and content, we have a one-size-fits-all approach:

• Use Culminating Blasphemite in your first socket.
• Aim to have one of each color of gem to maximize its effect, focusing on Mastery. Use a single Masterful Emerald, Masterful Ruby, and Masterful Sapphire.
• All other sockets should have Masterful Ruby / Deadly Onyx.
• Season 3 note - You may also find at especially high gear ratings that Haste or even Versatility gems are recommended to round out your stats. This is quite common due to diminishing returns, so follow your Sim!

You can also optionally substitute the Culminating Blasphemite for an Elusive Blasphemite. This trades a small amount of DPS for additional movement speed instead.

For weapons, Enchant Weapon - Stonebound Artistry is the general recommendation for all content. Depending on your current gear, you may find other secondary enchants come out on top such as Enchant Weapon - Oathsworn's Tenacity or Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury. If this happens, you should follow your sim.

Your ring enchants are determined by character sims, as both Critical Strike and Mastery options are similar in value.

Cloak, Bracer, and Boot enchants are personal preferences as they have no direct impact on performance, but we recommend Avoidance and Stamina for the extra survivability.

There are two options for your flask of choice depending on the situation:

• Flask of Alchemical Chaos — is slightly more RNG than the alternatives, but is a net positive in stats and also leads to stronger Tempered Potion uses, so it is recommended.
• Flask of Tempered Aggression / Flask of Tempered Mastery — Slightly weaker, but more consistent due to providing a bulk of a stat we prefer. Remember though, it leads to a weaker Tempered Potion.

You can also obtain a flask of your choice from Algari Flask Cauldrons provided by Alchemists.

Tempered Potion is your best option, and should be paired with major cooldowns and Bloodlust / Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Algari Potion Cauldron provided by Alchemists.

Invigorating Healing Potion is the current best healing potion. Using this has a 5-minute cooldown, but multiple can be consumed in an extended boss fight should it go on long enough. Additionally, Warlock's Healthstones do not share a cooldown with other healing consumables. Remember to use it as well if you are holding one!

Due to the high value of secondary stats for Feral in Season 3, you should be using secondary food so long as one of them is your current highest stat. Use The Sushi Special feast, or any of Outsider's Provisions, Beledar's Bounty, Jester's Board or Empress' Farewell for personal food.

Your weapon enhancement consumable of choice is Algari Mana Oil for the additional Critical Strike and Haste, as secondaries are more valuable than the attack power provided by whetstones.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!

You can also buy the permanent Ethereal Augment Rune once at Renown 18 with the new Season 3 K'aresh Trust faction or use the Soulgorged Augment Runes that drop from the new raid and persist through death.
