Subtlety Rogue DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.2

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 either Deadly Jewel Cluster or Versatile Jewel Cluster depending on your stat weights.

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.

Note that the Shards of Domination will not work in Patch 9.2 content and thus are not necessary.

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.

Shaded Sharpening Stone scales better than Shadowcore Oil on multi-target situations and thus you should be using Sharpening Stones in both of your weapons in such environments such as Mythic+.

Spectral Flask of Power is our flask of choice.

Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones and Cosmic 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 (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.

After reaching Exalted with The Enlightened, you can purchase Eternal Augment Rune.
