Balance Druid DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5

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 Kraken's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Quick Owlseye (or the cheaper Quick Golden Beryl) in all other sockets.

3. Best Enchants for Balance Druids

4. Consumables for Balance Druids

4.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Balance

Flask of Endless Fathoms is the main flask for all raid and dungeon content. Battle Potion of Intellect is the main stat potion and Potion of Rising Death is the damage proc potion. Use the Intellect potion for almost all situations.

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

4.2. Best Food for Balance

You should eat from the Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the cheaper Galley Banquet) when possible, and otherwise Haste food ( Swamp Fish 'n Chips or the cheaper Ravenberry Tarts).

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.
