Consumables

4.1.

Food

Ideally you will have access to Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup Icon Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup but if not consider the individual use foods recommended below to increase your Agility rating.

  • Sea Mist Rice Noodles Icon Sea Mist Rice Noodles
  • Seasoned Pomfruit Slices Icon Seasoned Pomfruit Slices
4.2.

Flasks and Potions

As a Subtlety Rogue we will use Flask of Spring Blossoms Icon Flask of Spring Blossoms

Virmen's Bite Icon Virmen's Bite is our default choice as a Subtlety Rogue. This should be paired with your Shadow Dance Icon Shadow Dance ability as the majority of your damage dealt as a Subtlety Rogue will be done during short windows of burst damage. If you are not able to pair it with Shadow Dance make sure to use it at a time where you can ensure up time on your target for its full 25 second duration.

Master Healing Potion Icon Master Healing Potion is a quick burst of healing that may allow you to survive damage that would otherwise be deadly so its important to always be ready to use this as an impromptu defensive cool down.

4.3.

Profession Items

While you will not have much time to cast them and any kind of damage taken will interrupt their healing, Heavy Windwool Bandage Icon Heavy Windwool Bandage can be the difference between surviving or dying so it is a great way to heal yourself in an emergency if you find yourself in a situation where you would likely die without any incoming healing.
