3. Consumables for Beast Mastery Hunter

3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Beast Mastery

Greater Flask of the Currents should be used for raids.

Your potion should be the Potion of Focused Resolve for purely single-target situations with minimal or no target-swapping, and Potion of Empowered Proximity for AoE situations where you are able to be within 8 yards of many targets at once, most commonly in Mythic+ dungeons.

Superior Battle Potion of Agility is a good AoE alternative to Empowered Proximity when you are not able to be in close proximity of many targets.

Warlock Healthstones and Abyssal Healing Potion should be used when at low health.

3.2. Best Food for Beast Mastery

You should eat the 131 Agility feasts Famine Evaluator And Snack Table whenever possible. Otherwise, eat the 93 Critical Strike food, Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech".

With One with the Pack, you should always use the Critical Strike food, even if there is a feast available.

3.3. Augment Runes for Beast Mastery

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.
