Subtlety Rogue DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.0.5

This page covers what are the best gems, enchants, food and flask to use as Subtlety Rogue. For more detailed explanations on how stats interact with each other in different scenarios, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

You should use one Leviathan's Eye of Agility and one Kraken's Eye of Agility in one of your sockets and either Deadly Jewel Cluster or Versatile Jewel Cluster in your other sockets depending on your stat weights.

The old main stat gems are still worth using for most players, but to be more accurate make sure to simulate your own character to see if they are better than the new gems for you.

Note that all four stats are close to each other for Subtlety, so if you have very little of certain stat, you might want to gem for that instead.

Potion of Phantom Fire is the best pick for pure single-target, however at higher Item Levels Potion of Spectral Agility becomes better. Use Potion of Spectral Agility when you have more than 2 targets.

Spectral Flask of Power is our flask of choice.

Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones and Spiritual Healing Potion no longer share a cooldown with each other, which means that you can use both of them. It is also important to note that the Healing Potion is significantly stronger than Healthstones.

The best food to eat is Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism, but it is quite costly. Cheaper alternatives are Spinefin Souffle and Fries and Steak a la Mode.

If you can afford it, you should use Veiled 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.
