Combat Rogue raid consumables
The consumables checklist for a Combat Rogue in TBC Classic: 16 lines, each naming what it is before it names the item, and why it is on the list.
What a Combat Rogue brings to a raid
- flaskLasts two hours and survives death. The one buff you never have to re-apply.
- elixirCheaper than a flask, and you lose it when you die.

- zanzaAn old-world buff that still works here.
- foodWell-fed. Half an hour, and it goes when you do — eat after a wipe.

From Wowhead’s Rogue DPS guide — a recommendation, not something this site measured. Skipping one is not a mistake; the list is deliberately thorough. Every name opens Wowhead.
How to read it
This checklist is not something this site measured. It is transcribed from Wowhead's own Rogue DPS guide, and it is a recommendation: 16 lines, 20 items, covering flask, elixir, zanza, food, potion, extra, scroll, bandage, stone, engineer, drums. Each line says what the thing IS before it names the item, because the question a Combat Rogue arrives with is "why am I carrying this" rather than "what is it called".
Where a line offers several items joined by or, any one of them satisfies it; then means the second is the fallback when the first is out of reach. A flask lasts two hours and survives death, so it is the one buff a damage dealer never re-applies mid-night; battle and guardian elixirs are cheaper and go when you do. Every potion in the game shares one cooldown, which is why the list names few of them.
Skipping one is not a mistake — the list is deliberately thorough, and a night with the flask and the food is most of the way there. Every name opens Wowhead. The raid gear checker on this site reads the same guide when it asks whether a raider turned up buffed.
