Consumables for Subtlety Rogues

3.1.

Best Phials and Potions for Subtlety

Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power Icon Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power (or the cheaper version Elemental Potion of Power Icon Elemental Potion of Power) is the potion for all situations.

Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage Icon Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage is the highest output Phial for Subtlety Rogues but comes with a hefty downside that can potentially kill you on progression fights, so use it if you feel safe on a given encounter.

Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility is the safest Phial for Subtlety Rogues as it has no downsides, and Versatility also has defensive value.

Dreamwalker's Healing Potion Icon Dreamwalker's Healing Potion is our healing potion in Dragonflight. Using it will put it on a 5-minute cooldown.

In addition, a Warlock's Healthstone Icon Healthstones does not share a cooldown with other healing consumables. Remember to use it as well if you are holding one!

3.2.

Best Food for Subtlety

Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak Icon Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak/Hoard of Draconic Delicacies Icon Hoard of Draconic Delicacies/Deviously Deviled Eggs Icon Deviously Deviled Eggs is your food of choice for some additional Agility. Cheaper options are Filet of Fangs Icon Filet of Fangs and Revenge, Served Cold Icon Revenge, Served Cold.

3.3.

Other Consumables

Weapon Runes work the same way as Sharpening Stones and Weapon Oils from previous expansions. In Dragonflight, you will want to apply a Buzzing Rune Icon Buzzing Rune to both of your weapons.

Note that in Dragonflight, you can freely change your talents at any time outside of combat or a mythic+ dungeon. Because of this, there are no tome consumables to worry about!
