This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and phialsto use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the differentstats for Outlaw Rogue, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

You should use Resplendent Illimited Diamond or Inscribed Illimited Diamondin one of your sockets and either Radiant Malygite in your othersockets.

You can use Tiered Medallion Setting to add up to 3 socket slots toyour necklace.

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

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

With Dragonflight, You can now change talents anywhere and no longer need aconsumable to do so, so there are no tomes to worry about!

Phial of Tepid Versatility should be used in all fights that do not allowyou to remain stationary for long periods. Iced Phial of Corrupting Rageis the better choice if you can reach reasonably high uptimes of 70% or more,which is very dependent on the boss. You will also take more damage while theVersatility phial will make you take less damage, so it is typically recommendedto go with Versatility for progression, and Corrupting Rage for maximum DPS.

Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power (or its lesser Elemental Potion of Powervariant) is your recommended Potion. These potions can also be obtained froma Potion Cauldron of Ultimate Power/ Potion Cauldron of Power.

Dreamwalker's Healing Potion acts as your healing potion. Each use willincur a 5-minute cooldown, but multiple can be consumed in an extended bossfight. Potion of Withering Dreams can be used in a pinch, but you taketicking damage for 30 seconds after. Since you can use Cloak of Shadowsto remove the DoT from the Withering Dreams Potion, we recommend carrying bothof these, and using Potion of Withering Dreams if the entire raid isalready struggling to stay alive.

Healthstones do not share a cooldown with health potions. This means thatplayers should always use Healing Potions and Healthstoneswhenever available. The Potion provides much better Healing than a Healthstone.

Alchemy offers several utility potions as well, andsome of them can still help you deal with a boss while dead. Residual Neural Channeling Agentshares a cooldown with regular potions, but if you do not expect to receivea combat resurrection anytime soon, you should go ahead and use one to helpthe rest of the raid/group.

If available, Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak/ Hoard of Draconic Delicacies or Fated Fortune Cookieis your food of choice for some additional Agility. Otherwise, Revenge, Served Cold is the best food for more Critical Strike andVersatility.

While they are not as necessary for success in areas of content as phials,potions and food, there are some additional consumables available for asmall amount of extra temporary power for your character.

Weapon Runes function similarly to Weapon Oils of previous expansions,applyinga temporary buff to your weapon that is not removed on death. InDragonflight,you will want to use Buzzing Rune for Critical Strike.
