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.
Balance Druid is a user of the infamous Inscrutable Quantum Device.
This trinket can drastically change your stat priority as the order of your top
two stats are important. Gem and Enchants can change drastically with any gear
swapping that does not maintain your stat equilibrium.
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.

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
Cosmic Healing Potion and
Healthstone. Make sure you use
these when in danger of dying. If you have not, make sure you get the new
Patch 9.2 Healing Potion.
For close progression pulls or for pushing your damage, you can also use a
Veiled Augment Rune. Once you hit Exalted with the new
The Enlightened faction, you can purchase the new
Eternal Augment Rune for 40,000 gold. This is a permanent Augment Rune
and you can sell your old ones.
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.
