Assassination Rogue DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.1

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Assassination Rogue, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

You will want to get 3 Unholy shards and a helmet for the Chaos Bane set bonus.

For more detailed information on what Shards to play, and why the Frost set Winds of Winter might be a better choice for you, check out our detailed Shards of Domination section on our Gearing Page.

You should use Leviathan's Eye of Agility in one of your sockets and either Quick Jewel Cluster or Deadly Jewel Cluster in your other sockets, depending on whether you want to focus on raiding or Mythic+.

You will want to run Enchant Weapon - Lightless Force on both of your weapons for Mythic+ for AoE damage. You can also continue using the enchants listed above to keep prioritizing your single-target and priority-target damage.

It is always recommended to sim yourself to find out what enchants provide the best benefit to you individually.

Spectral Flask of Power is our flask of choice.

Potion of Phantom Fire is the best pick for pure single-target. Use Potion of Spectral Agility for when you have 2 or more targets.

You will always want to have two Shaded Sharpening Stone or Shaded Weightstone applied to your weapons. Apply a Heavy Desolate Armor Kit to your chest armor.

Healthstones do not share a cooldown with health potions. This means that players should always use Spiritual Healing Potions and Healthstones whenever available. The Potion provides much better Healing than a Healthstone.

The best food buff is provided by the Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism but it is quite costly; alternatives are Tenebrous Crown Roast Aspic or the cheaper Cinnamon Bonefish Stew. For Mythic+, you will want to use Spinefin Souffle and Fries or the cheaper Butterscotch Marinated Ribs instead.

If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. These will be very rare and scarcely available at the beginning of the expansion, so it is best to stock up for when you really need them.
