Consumables

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

  • Flask Flask of the Magisters Mastery. The best flask for Enhancement.
  • 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 Agility. It's expensive and is lost when you die, so save it for progression.
