- Severed Sagefish Head
Flasks and Potions
Use the Intellect flask below, as it is by far the best option available.
- Flask of the Draconic Mind
Use the following combat potion for pre-pulling and during the fight, and try to use it when you are about to activate your DPS cooldowns or entering higher damage taken by boss phases.

Profession Items
Compared to past expansions, you will need to carry far less additional consumables on you. We simply recommend keeping some bandages on you for quick, Mana-free heals.
