Best Consumables for Rogues
Maximizing your performance in WoW Classic is all about consumables. There are a lot of them (usually they stack) and using them all can have a bigger impact than a full tier of gear upgrades.
With that being said, getting all of the consumables we will mention is extremely expensive, and as such, you should only use as many as you feel comfortable with.
Long Buff Consumables for Rogues
Offensive
- Elixir of the Mongoose increases your Agility by 25 and your Critical Strike Chance by 2% for 1 hour. This is crafted through Alchemy.
- Juju Power increases your Strength by 30 for 30 minutes when used. This is a repeatable quest reward given by Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook, Winterspring.
- Ground Scorpok Assay increases your Agility by 25 for 1 hour. While using this item triggers a 1 hour cooldown on similar items (such as R.O.I.D.S.), you can still stack the different buffs together by logging out, which will make the cooldown go down, but not the duration of the buff on your character. You get this item from completing Salt of the Scorpok (repeatable quest) in the Blasted Lands.
- R.O.I.D.S. increases your Strength by 25 for 1 hour. While using this item triggers an 1 hour cooldown on similar items (such as Ground Scorpok Assay), you can still stack the different buffs together by logging out, which will make the cooldown go down, but not the duration of the buff on your character. You get this item from completing Rage of Ages (repeatable quest) in the Blasted Lands.
- Instant Poison is mandatory for raiding as a Rogue, but if you are doing solo content or dungeons, then you can use Deadly Poison. This is because Deadly Poison takes up a debuff slot.
Defensive
- Flask of the Titans increases your health pool by 1200 for 2 hours, and persists through death, making it one of the most powerful consumables for survivability. Unfortunately, it is very expensive to create, and you can only have 1 flask active at any given time, so only use this for big occasions.
- Monster Omelet, and similar foods, increase your Stamina and Spirit by 12 for 15 minutes. This is crafted with Cooking.
- Rumsey Rum Black Label increases your Stamina by 15 for 15 minutes. This is obtained through Fishing.
- Elixir of Fortitude increases your max health by 120 for 1 hour. This is crafted through Alchemy.
Short Buff Consumables for Rogues
Potions all share a cooldown in WoW Classic. You cannot use multiple potions at the same time, and when you use a potion it will start the cooldown for all potions. That being said, it is still useful to have multiple potions in your bags for different situations. Being in combat does not affect your potion cooldown or availability.
Offensive
Grilled Squid is the best offensive food for Rogues. It offers a lot of Agility which is your best stat. The only issue is that Winter Squid is fairly difficult to obtain meaning this consumable could be pretty expensive on your server. If this consumable does end up being expensive then use it sparingly and save for progression or difficult fights.
Blessed Sunfruit is a good less expensive offensive food option. This instead increases your Strength which is less valuable than Agility but still a strong stat. This food requires Argent Dawn Revered reputation.
Winterfall Firewater is an excellent consumable for Rogues, as it straight up increases your Attack Power. You can farm for this by killing High Chief Winterfall in Winterspring or buying it off the Auction House.
Thistle Tea grants you 100 Energy when used. Is it crafted with Cooking and the recipe is obtained from the quest Klaven's Tower, which requires 70 Lockpicking skill. You should use this potion when:
- you have 0, or close to 0, Energy;
- Adrenaline Rush is not active;
- Adrenaline Rush is on cooldown.
Health Recovery Consumables for Rogues
- Major Healthstone restores health when used, and is created by Warlocks.
- Heavy Runecloth Bandage restores health when used, but requires a channeling period for the full heal. It is crafted through First Aid.
Fire Resistance Consumables for Rogues
- Greater Fire Protection Potion gives you a buff that absorbs a significant amount of fire damage for one hour, but is depleted once enough damage is taken. This is crafted through Alchemy.
- Juju Ember increases your Fire Resistance by 15. This is a repeatable quest reward given by Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook, Winterspring.
These will mostly be useful during early Molten Core progression, especially on Ragnaros.
Nature Resistance Consumables for Rogues
- Greater Nature Protection Potion (and the weaker / cheaper Nature Protection Potion) gives you a buff that absorbs a significant amount of Nature damage for one hour, but is depleted once enough damage is taken. This is crafted through Alchemy.
Shadow Resistance Consumables for Rogues
- Greater Shadow Protection Potion (and the weaker / cheaper Shadow Protection Potion) gives you a buff that absorbs a significant amount of Shadow damage for one hour, but is depleted once enough damage is taken. This is crafted through Alchemy.
Frost Resistance Consumables for Rogues
- Greater Frost Protection Potion (and the weaker / cheaper Frost Protection Potion) gives you a buff that absorbs a significant amount of Frost damage for one hour, but is depleted once enough damage is taken. This is crafted through Alchemy.
Damage Consumables for Rogues
Engineering bombs share a general cooldown of 1 minute, which means you should focus on the harder hitting ones that you can afford.
- Goblin Sapper Charge places a mine that deals AoE Fire damage to enemies and to you when triggered. It is crafted through Engineering.
- Goblin Land Mine places a mine that deals Fire damage when triggered. It is crafted through Engineering.
- Dense Dynamite deals Fire damage at a target location after a short cast. It is crafted through Engineering.
- Oil of Immolation deals pulsing AoE Fire damage for 15 seconds. It is crafted through Alchemy.
- Thorium Grenade deals Fire damage at a target location after a short cast and incapacitates enemies hit for 3 seconds. It is crafted through Engineering.
- Iron Grenade deals Fire damage at a target location after a short cast and incapacitates enemies hit for 3 seconds. It is crafted through Engineering.
- Crystal Charge deals Fire damage to enemies within 3 yards. This is a quest reward from Un'Goro Crater. This shares a cooldown with Engineering bombs, so is useful only if you are not an Engineer.
- Stratholme Holy Water deals damage to Undead enemies around you. It drops from Stratholme.
Utility Consumables for Rogues
- Restorative Potion removes 1 magic, curse, poison, or disease effect from you every 5 seconds for 30 seconds. It is crafted through Alchemy.
- Free Action Potion makes you immune to stun and movement impairing effects for 30 seconds, but does not remove effects already on you. It is crafted through Alchemy.
- Living Action Potion makes you immune to stun and movement impairing effects for 5 seconds, while also removing any such effects already present on you. It is crafted through Alchemy.
