Best Consumables for Beast Mastery Hunter
You can consume a number of temporary items to increase your power in dungeons and raids. Below is a comprehensive overview of everything you want to use!
Flasks
For Beast Mastery Hunter, the best flask is generally going to be
Flask of the Magisters. That said, it is best to think of Flasks as just
another piece of gear that is easily swappable, and depending on your exact gear
situation, any of the 4 secondary stat flasks can be optimal. To really minmax
on this point, you would need to simulate it.
Combat Potions
For Beast Mastery Hunter, there are two Potions you need to consider.
Light's Potential is a safe option, offering a lot of Primary Stat for
30 sec, to be synced with your cooldowns.
Draught of Rampant Abandon is a high-risk, high-reward option. It
offers ~12% more stats than an ordinary Potion, but it will force you to
move as it constantly spawns void zones beneath your feet. Standing in these
will silence you, easily eliminating the DPS gain from the extra Agility,
but if this is managed properly and doing so is not going to cause you to
mess up your rotation due to focusing on your feet, it is technically the
better Potion. This Potion is a 0.5% - 1% DPS increase when utilized perfectly.
Choose wisely, and be honest with yourself!
Healing Potions
For Beast Mastery Hunter, the best potion is
Silvermoon Health Potion. It has a 5-minute cooldown and heals most of
your health, use it as a last resort, preferring your personal defensives
wherever possible.
Foods
For Beast Mastery Hunter, the best Food you can eat is from a
Harandar Celebration or
Silvermoon Parade Feast. The best
non-Feast food is
Hearty Royal Roast. The "Hearty" part is important, as
this food persists through death, and I highly recommend grabbing
Cooking to easily make your own Hearty Food, as it cannot be
straightforwardly purchased on the Auction House.
Augment Runes
For Beast Mastery Hunter, the best Augment Rune in Midnight is
Void-Touched Augment Rune.
