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 Jewel Cluster is the top choice for Balance Druids in all
situations. Use the 
Masterful Jewel Doublet as a cheaper option. There
are no Intellect gems in the Shadowlands as of yet. You can use 
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect
for a very small upgrade in stats as you get more gear.
Domination Shards for Balance Druid
Information about Domination Shards can be found on our Gear page:

Consumables for Balance Druids
Best Flasks, Potions, and Oils for Balance
The basic Intellect flask, 
Spectral Flask of Power, should be used as
your primary flask, and flasks from 
Eternal Cauldron are equal in
strength.
Potion of Spectral Intellect is the overall best potion to use.
Shadowcore Oil should be on at all times, but does not affect
your potion choice at this time.
During encounters, you can heal yourself using
Spiritual Healing 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
Veiled Augment Rune.
Best Food for Balance
Mastery food should be your personal food
(
Iridescent Ravioli with Apple Sauce) but use an Intellect feast
(
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism) if it is available.
