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. We also give budget alternatives.
1. 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.
2. Best Enchants for Assassination Rogue

3. Consumables for Assassination Rogue
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Assassination
Greater Flask of the Currents should be used for raids.
For potions you should use 
Potion of Focused Resolve for pure single
target, 
Superior Battle Potion of Agility for cleave fights under 4
targets, 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.
3.2. Best Food for Assassination
You should eat from the 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table when possible,
and otherwise Critical Strike food (
Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech" or the cheaper
Honey-Glazed Haunches).
3.3. 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.
