Patch 12.1. Stat source

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

Flask Flask of the Magisters Mastery. The best flask for Survival.
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 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.
Weapon oil Thalassian Phoenix Oil Lasts an hour. Reapply it after it wears off.
