Blood Death Knight Tank Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.2.5

Currently, all your sockets should be filled with Versatile Jewel Cluster for general purposes, or whatever stat sims the highest offensively. The difference between the two will be minimal on a single socket.

Even in Patch 9.2, and particularly with the addition of Jailer's Gauntlet mode in Torghast, Shards of Domination may still see some situational use. We have updated the information about their availability and purpose on the generic Gear page, with the strong caveat that these are completely disabled outside of the Maw and Torghast.

In practice, these guidelines are largely down to how enchants do not compete over primary stats, merely secondaries. As a result, the gearing stat priority is applicable, and can be simply followed: Versatility as a good default, or whatever sims the highest for you at the time for damage. You can find more information about this on the stats page of this guide.

Use Spectral Flask of Power for all content. There is no situation in Shadowlands where the gain in Stamina from Spectral Flask of Stamina is a deciding choice, and the throughput and defensive gains from the Spectral Flask of Power eclipse it in all situations.

Shadowcore Oil should be placed on your weapon to provide passive damage, and also enhance the power of your combat potions.

When in combat, you have several options for which in-combat potion to use. For both of these potions you should use Shadowcore Oil on your weapon to enhance the power of them.

• Potion of Phantom Fire should be used as a default combat potion.
• Potion of Spectral Strength can be used as a general purpose potion against a large number of targets.

You should use Cosmic Healing Potion for in-combat healing. Healing potions do not share a cooldown with Healthstones, so you can use both independently if you have access to a Warlock.

Use Steak a la Mode is your Versatility food buff of choice.

Use Heavy Desolate Armor Kit as it provides you with the most Stamina.

If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes (or the permanent Eternal Augment Rune) to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
