Guardian Druid Tank Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Guardian Druid in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best Gems for Guardian Druids
You should use 
Kraken's Eye of Agility in one socket, and use
Masterful Tidal Amethyst (or the cheaper 
Masterful Kubiline) or
Versatile Royal Quartz (or the cheaper
Versatile Kyanite) in all the other sockets.
2. Best Enchants for Guardian Druids

3. Consumables for Guardian Druids
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Guardian
Flask of the Currents should be used in most situations. If you
need a bit of extra health, 
Flask of the Vast Horizon should be
used.
Battle Potion of Agility should be used in most situations. If you
need a bit of extra health, 
Battle Potion of Stamina can be used
instead. For pure single target DPS, you can use
Potion of Bursting Blood.
In Battle for Azeroth you will use 
Coastal Healing Potion as your
healing potion. Healing potions no longer share a cooldown with
Healthstones, so you can use both if you have access to a
Warlock.
3.2. Best Food for Guardian
You should eat 
Bountiful Captain's Feast or 
Sanguinated Feast
for the buff to your Agility. If you want to buff your Stamina instead of your
Agility, you can use 
Seasoned Steak and Potatoes. You may also choose to
use 
Honey Potpie in Mythic+ to assist in kiting enemies.
3.3. Augment Runes for Guardian
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.
