Flask
Flask of the Shattered Sun
Critical Strike. The best flask for Marksmanship.

Concentrated Silvermoon Health Potion
Healing in combat. It doesn't share a cooldown with Healthstones, so you can use both.

Harandar Celebration
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.
