Balance Druid DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2

1. Secondary Stat Choice for Balance Druids

Haste 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.

2. Best Gems for Balance Druids

You should use a single Leviathan's Eye of Intellect in your first socket. After the first socket use Quick Sand Spinel depending on your current stat layout. You can also use cheaper options ( Quick Owlseye) if you are short on funds. If you cannot afford the first Leviathan gem, there is no better option that gives the same type of benefit and you should go straight into secondary stat choices.

3. Best Enchants for Balance Druids

4. Consumables for Balance Druids

4.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Balance

Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms is the main flask for all raid and dungeon content. You can fall back onto Flask of Endless Fathoms when looking to be more thrifty.

There are a variety of potions you can use depending on the content or battle you are fighting.

• For single target, use Potion of Focused Resolve. If you deal damage to other targets, this loses the maximum Critical Strike effectiveness.
• For one to three targets, you can use Potion of Unbridled Fury. Use this when you damage other targets but want to focus down a main target.
• Superior Battle Potion of Intellect is not used at this time.
• If you can hit four or more enemies within 8-yards of your character, Potion of Empowered Proximity will outscale the generic Intellect Potion.

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

4.2. Best Food for Balance

You should eat from Haste food ( Baked Port Tato).

At our current gear levels, an Intellect feast buff is still barely equal to secondary stat foods. When we get more Intellect in the future, we may be exclusively eating our own secondary stat foods. The new secondary stat foods all outclass the old feasts.

4.3. Augment Runes for Balance

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.
