1. Gems for Blood Death Knights

Rings
Weapon

3. Consumables for Blood Death Knights

Use Flask of the Undertow Icon Flask of the Undertow for most content — only use Flask of the Vast Horizon Icon Flask of the Vast Horizon if the encounter requires you to have a larger health pool to survive specific spike damage events.

Use both Coastal Healing Potion Icon Coastal Healing Potion and Healthstone Icon Healthstone as emergency mitigation tools; they do not share a cooldown, and each can be used once per encounter.

Use Bountiful Captain's Feast Icon Bountiful Captain's Feast for Strength, or Swamp Fish 'n Chips Icon Swamp Fish 'n Chips if a feast is not available. If using Mystical Cauldron Icon Mystical Cauldron or Bountiful Captain's Feast, you will need to change your specialization to Frost or Unholy to get the Strength version of the consumable and then change back to Blood.

If you can afford it, you should use Battle-Scarred Augment Rune Icon Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to increase your primary stats. 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.
