On this page, we list the best enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Destruction Warlock in WotLK Classic for PvE content.
Best Enchants for Destruction Warlocks in Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Enchants are very important and luckily very easy to obtain since you can buy most of the Enchantment scrolls off the Auction House for pretty cheap. However, there are a couple enchants that are locked behind faction Reputations. For your Head enchant you must be Exalted with Kirin Tor which is as simple as wearing their tabard while doing your Heroic Dungeons. As for your shoulder Enchant, this is also locked behind reputation. This one is Sons of Hodir and starts with a quest chain in K3 of the Storm Peaks zone called They Took Our Men!.

Best Gems for Destruction Warlocks in Wrath of the Lich King
Gems are really straightforward. Use Chaotic Skyflare Diamond for your Meta Gem and use two Purified Dreadstone to activate your Meta. Put Runed Cardinal Ruby in all Red Sockets and then in the Yellow Sockets that have Spirit or Spell Power bonuses, put either Reckless Ametrine in it if you do NOT need Hit or use Veiled Ametrine if you do need Hit. You also have the pure 16 Hit Rigid King's Amber if you are really desperate for Hit.
Sockets | Gems |
---|---|
Chaotic Skyflare Diamond — make sure you meet the requirements for it to be active | |
Runed Scarlet Ruby | |
Runed Cardinal Ruby | |
Purified Twilight Opal — at least 2 to activate your Meta Gem | |
Runed Dragon's Eye — Requires Jewelcrafting; can use up to 3 |
Best Consumables for Destruction Warlocks
Below is a list of the recommended consumables for a Destruction Warlock. Some consumables have multiple options depending on your needs; be sure to choose accordingly.
- Flask of the Frost Wyrm
- Potion of Speed or Potion of Wild Magic
- Flame Cap
- Spellstone or Firestone
- Firecracker Salmon, Fish Feast, Tender Shoveltusk Steak, or Snapper Extreme
- Spiced Mammoth Treats for your pet
- Saronite Bomb & Global Thermal Sapper Charge
- Heavy Frostweave Bandage
Flasks
Flask of the Frost Wyrm is the only flask recommended as it provides the most Spell Power.
Firestone
Use Create Firestone on your weapon at all times. This will give you 1% extra damage to your direct damaging spells, but also gives you 196 Critical Strike rating.
Potions
Both of these potions are very good for Destruction. Potion of Speed is the best option for both your prepot and your second potion use. However, be careful, as you get more gear and more Haste, using this potion can cause you to go under the global cooldown of your spells. If this begins to happen, then use Potion of Wild Magic instead.
Food Buff
For your food you have a few options. You can use a Fish Feast, Firecracker Salmon, or Tender Shoveltusk Steak, which all give you the same amount, 46 spell Power and 40 Stamina. Most guilds have Fish Feast, but it is suggested to always keep a stack of whatever is the cheaper food on your server out of the Firecracker Salmon or Tender Shoveltusk Steak. There is also a food called Snapper Extreme, which gives you 40 Hit Rating and 40 Stamina. This food can come in handy if you are just shy of some Hit and want to finish it off.
Profession Items for Destruction Warlocks
Engineering
Both of these items should be used on cooldown. It might not seem like much, but the damage adds up. Use Global Thermal Sapper Charge on AoE if you can and throw some Saronite Bomb every 60 seconds. It does not have a cast time and also does not take a global to use it, so it is free damage.
First Aid
While these are minor and will see little use, it is always recommended to keep them on hand for the quick, Mana-free heal.
