WotLK Classic Destruction Warlock Pre-Raid Gear

This is the guide for pre raid gearing for Destruction Warlocks in Wrath of the Lich King. This list will contain largerly items obtained from a mix of things to help get you caught up and ready to raid. Most of these pieces can be found from the Titan Rune Gamma dungeons, which are easy to get, since it simply involves just spamming dungeons that drop Defiler's Scourgestones that can be turned in for really strong pieces like Flare of the Heavens, Barb of Tarasque and multiple other items. Your Tier 10 set is very important and needed to later upgrade to even stronger versions of the Tier. These are obtained via Emblem of Frost. Until you get your Tier 10, Tier 9 is an option to wear and is not that hard to get from Emblem of Triumph and Trophy of the Crusade. You can of course go into the previous raids to obtain easy catch up loot in The Nexus, however some of the gear won't be as strong as the ones listed below from Defiler's Scourgestones. Note that there are also different names for some of the items, depending on if you're Horde or Alliance.

There is more than one item listed on some slots, one will typically have more hit and the other won't. If you're hurting on hit rating, then you can choose the one with hit. Some options will also require less Scourgestones, making you have to farm less.
