Subtlety Rogue DPS Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight Season 1

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Subtlety Rogue, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

The choice of gems is highly dependent on your gear. Each of the four secondary stats can easily be your highest simming stat depending on the current gear you are wearing, and as a result, the choice of gems and ring enchants can vary a lot. We highly recommend simming yourself to find out the best set of gems for your character specifically via Raidbots.

You should use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, the rest of the sockets can be filled in based on what your character needs the most. Generally you would use the Haste and Mastery/Critical Strike ones ( Flawless Deadly Peridot or Flawless Masterful Peridot) until you reach the breakpoint. Afterwards, fill the remaining slots with Flawless Masterful Garnet or Flawless Deadly Amethyst.

Whether you choose to enchant your gear with Avoidance, Leech, or Speed is up to you. Leech will allow you to gain some additional passive healing while you do damage, Avoidance reduces the damage taken by Area-of-Effect spells, similar to Feint, and Speed simply increases your movement speed. For Raid progression movement speed is often underrated and can be a minor DPS increase if it allows you to reach your target faster.

It is always recommended to sim yourself to find out what enchants provide the best benefit to you individually.

If you have yet to reach the Haste breakpoint you should be using Flask of the Blood Knights, otherwise use Flask of the Magisters.

The best stat potion is Light's Potential. At first glance Draught of Rampant Abandon might look like it is better but the downside from it makes it near impossible to use as a melee, especially in boss encounters or in M+ scenarios.

The best healing potion is Silvermoon Health Potion.

The best food is Harandar Celebration or Royal Roast.

The best augment rune is Void-Touched Augment Rune.
