Raiding Consumables – What You Really Need to Succeed in WoW

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

When you start playing the raiding content in World of Warcraft, especially at the end-game level, you need every advantage you can get to ensure that you’re set for what the game can throw at you. This is why you must get your talent specs just right and have all the necessary rare or epic gear in place before raiding. It is the reason for having all your gem slots filled, your enchants maxed out and your glyphs topped off. And ultimately, it is why you need to stock up on all the consumables that will boost key stats while you are in a fight.

There are a few different kinds of consumables you’ll need to have in place for your fights. Here is a basic breakdown of each and what you should be looking for:

Potions and Elixirs

The potions and elixirs are multiple when you reach end game and will include everything from basic mana and health potions (of which the Runic variety is the best currently) to high level guardian and battle elixirs that will boost your key stats in multiple areas. It is important that you match your elixir needs to which class you are and what stats are most important.

For example, if you’re a Rogue or Hunter, you had better be working on your Agility while Warriors should use the opportunity to cap out things like Defense and Stamina.

Flasks

There are a limited number of truly useful end-game flasks. These flasks, which last for an hour in a raid and don’t disappear on death, will take the spot of both your battle and guardian elixir on the cooldown, so you’ll only be able to use it once. However, the Level 85 Flasks in the game, which include Endless Rage, Pure Mojo, Stoneblood and Frost Wyrm are all highly useful in raiding (even if they are rather expensive). Here is a listing of each and which classes should have them:

* Flask of Endless Rage – Increases Attack Power by 180 – Melee and Ranged DPS.
* Flask of Pure Mojo – Increases Mana Regen by 45 MP5 – Ranged Spellcasters and Death Knights.
* Flask of Stoneblood – Increases Max Health by 1300 - Tanks
* Flask of the Frost Wyrm – Increases Spell Power by 125 – All Spellcasters.
As you can see, having one of these flasks in a raid can be highly useful for anyone looking to get the upper ground on even the toughest of bosses.

Stat Food

The last category of stat boosting consumables is food. Food comes in many forms and in Northrend is either available as fish based or meat based options. These foods will allow you to boost certain stats according to the style of food being eaten.

In Wrath of the Lich King, more advanced food was added as well which requires special Spices to cook, only obtained through Dalaran Cooking Rewards. These foods will have better returns for those who take them into raids. On top of all those are Feasts which are made up of multiple different kinds of meat and fish.

Your statistics are incredibly vital to being an effective member of a raid. If you’re serious about boosting your raiding power and really knocking those mobs out of the park, make sure to bring along a good set of potions, elixirs, flasks, and food.
