Assassination Rogue DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Assassination Rogue in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5. We also give budget alternatives.
Best Gems for Assassination Rogue
You should use 
Leviathan's Eye of Agility in one socket, and
Deadly Lava Lazuli (or the cheaper 
Deadly Amberblaze) in
all other sockets.
Best Enchants for Assassination Rogue
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Main Hand | |
| Off Hand |
|
It is always recommended to sim yourself to find out what enchants provide the best benefit to you individually. Haste, Mastery and Critical Strike can all be very close in value, which may lead to you getting more benefit out of Mastery or Haste enchants and gems.
Consumables for Assassination Rogue
Best Flasks and Potions for Assassination
Greater Flask of the Currents should be used for raids.
For potions, you should use 
Potion of Unbridled Fury for pure single
target, 
Superior Battle Potion of Agility for 2 or 3-target fights, and
Potion of Empowered Proximity for 4 or more targets.
Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones no longer share a cooldown with health
potions. This means that players should always use
Abyssal Healing Potions and Healthstones whenever available.
Best Food for Assassination
Based on your strongest secondary stat, it is highly recommended to use
the corresponding food for that stat instead of 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table.
The three options here are:
- Critical Strike —
Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech" or the cheaper 
Honey-Glazed Haunches; - Haste —
Baked Port Tato or the cheaper 
Swamp Fish 'n Chips; - Mastery —
Abyssal-Fried Rissole or the cheaper 
Sailor's Pie.
Augment Runes for Assassination
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
