Best Gems for Balance Druid in The War Within

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 Culminating Blasphemite Icon Culminating Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets. On single target, you will prioritize Mastery, and on multi-target, you could likely end up leaning into more Haste.
