Secondary Stat Choice for Balance Druids
Mastery is Balance Druid's highest simming secondary stat for most players. It is recommended you sim your character on Raidbots to get accurate results. Depending on your gear, you may want enchants, gems, and other player enhancement items that are not listed as recommended on this page.
Use the information from the Stats page to better understand the reasoning behind each choice.
Best Gems for Balance Druids
Masterful Jewel Cluster is the top choice for Balance Druids in all
situations. Use the
Masterful Jewel Doublet as a cheaper option. There
are no Intellect gems in the Shadowlands as of yet.

Consumables for Balance Druids
Best Flasks, Potions, and Oils for Balance
The basic Intellect flask, Spectral Flask of Power, should be used as
your primary flask, and flasks from
Eternal Cauldron are equal in
strength.
Potion of Spectral Intellect is the overall best potion to use. At
lower gear levels,
Potion of Phantom Fire can be slightly better than the
basic Intellect potion, but primarily only on a single-target with some minor
variance.
Shadowcore Oil should be on at all times, but does not affect
your potion choice at this time.
During encounters, you can heal yourself using
Spiritual Healing Potion and
Healthstone. Make sure you use
these when in danger of dying.
Best Food for Balance
Mastery food should be your personal food
( Iridescent Ravioli with Apple Sauce) but use an Intellect feast
(
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism) if it is available.
