Secondary Stat Choice for Balance Druids
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.
Best Gems for Balance Druids
Masterful Sea Currant is a good choice as well as a single
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect. Even the lower item level
Kraken's Eye of Intellect can be used.

Consumables for Balance Druids
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.
Superior Battle Potion of Intellect as well as
Potion of Unbridled Fury are both viable choices. With more than one
target, Intellect should outweight the flat damage.
During encounters, you can heal yourself using
Abyssal Healing Potion and 
Healthstone. Make sure you use
these when in danger of dying.
Best Food for Balance
Mastery food should be your personal food (
Abyssal-Fried Rissole) and
an Intellect feast if it is available.
Augment Runes for Balance
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune is purchasable by earning exalted with
the Rajani and should always be used when you can afford to buy it for
50-thousand gold.
