Balance Druid DPS Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight Season 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 Balance Druid, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

We highly recommend using Raidbots to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.

The best stats for Balance Druid are Haste and Mastery. We will be focusing on getting the most out of stats while maximizing the new Prismatic Gem.

You should use Powerful Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets. A gem like Flawless Deadly Peridot can be used in the remaining slots.

• Sapphire Gem - Flawless Quick Lapis
• Emerald Gem - Flawless Deadly Peridot
• Ruby Gem - Flawless Quick Garnet
• Onyx Gem - Flawless Quick Amethyst

We are able to pick specific Tertiary stats for our Helm, Shoulder, and Boot slots that offer Avoidance, Leech, or Speed. When you are defaulting a specific stat and do not want to swap enchants often, it is best to choose Leech. However, both Avoidance and Speed can often be superior to Leech on specific encounters but Leech will almost always be useful.

The default flask for most situations is Flask of the Magisters.

The best potion is Light's Potential. Draught of Rampant Abandon offers approximately 0.7% more DPS than Light's Potential but will drop several silence zones over the duration. It is generally not advised to use this as a caster.

The best weapon imbuement is Thalassian Phoenix Oil.

During encounters, you can heal yourself using Silvermoon Health Potion and Healthstone. Make sure you use these when in danger of dying.

For close progression pulls or for pushing your damage, you can also use a Void-Touched Augment Runes.

Harandar Celebration or Silvermoon Parade should be used in raid or dungeons if possible. Otherwise, Royal Roast offers main stat but no stamina, making it a great choice for all content. The feast heavily outperforms other food options.

In addition to food buffs, you can also drink one of the new tea's available this expansion. Azeroot Tea provides the Relaxed buff which stacks with our food buff and grants 4% speed.
