Balance Druid DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.2.5

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.

Balance Druid is a user of the infamous Inscrutable Quantum Device. This trinket can drastically change your stat priority as the order of your top two stats are important. Gem and Enchants can change drastically with any gear swapping that does not maintain your stat equilibrium.

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. You can use Leviathan's Eye of Intellect for a very small upgrade in stats as you get more gear.

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. 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 Cosmic Healing Potion and Healthstone. Make sure you use these when in danger of dying. If you have not, make sure you get the new Patch 9.2 Healing Potion.

For close progression pulls or for pushing your damage, you can also use a Veiled Augment Rune. Once you hit Exalted with the new The Enlightened faction, you can purchase the new Eternal Augment Rune for 40,000 gold. This is a permanent Augment Rune and you can sell your old ones.

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.
