Masterful Tidal Amethyst in each socket.

Battle Potion of Intellect is the best choice for all
situations.
Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.

Bountiful Captain's Feast is our go-to food. If your raid is not
