Patch 12.1. Stat source

Picks for Devastation in patch 12.1, from the Icy Veins guide.

Flask Flask of the Blood Knights Haste. The best flask for Devastation.
Combat potion Potion of Recklessness The strongest potion for this spec. Use it with your big cooldowns. Light's Potential is the simpler pick if your secondary stats are evenly spread.
Health potion Concentrated Silvermoon Health Potion Healing in combat. It doesn't share a cooldown with Healthstones, so you can use both.
Food Silvermoon Parade A group feast. On your own, eat Royal Roast instead.
Augment rune Void-Touched Augment Rune Raises your Intellect. It's expensive and is lost when you die, so save it for progression.
Weapon oil Thalassian Phoenix Oil Lasts an hour. Reapply it after it wears off.

Head
Raises Avoidance, so you take less damage from area attacks.
Shoulders
Raises Avoidance, so you take less damage from area attacks.
Chest
Raises your primary stat.
Legs
Raises Intellect and Stamina.
Feet
Raises Speed and Stamina.
Both rings
Your critical strikes deal more damage and healing.
Main hand
Your spells and abilities can grant Might of the Void, raising your primary stat for a short time.

First socket
Raises your primary stat, and your critical strikes hit harder for each different color of Midnight gem you have socketed.
Every other socket
Raises Critical Strike and Haste.
Use one of each color, then Quick Garnet in the rest.
