NEW! The Icy Veins app is here Try out the WoW Class Codex Addon with the Icy Veins app Download App

The recommended choices for all content are:

• Use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in your first socket.
  • Use Flawless Quick Amethyst in other sockets.
• With 5+ Sockets, switch to Powerful Eversong Diamond.
  • Use one of each colour to maximize the bonus - Flawless Quick Amethyst, Flawless Masterful Peridot, Flawless Masterful Garnet, and Flawless Masterful Lapis.

Depending on your stat balance, sockets are often the best place to fix any gaps in your gear. Since Mastery, Haste, and Critical Strike are all competitive for Feral, we recommend simming your character to see which stat is worth prioritizing in your gem slots.

Your weapon enhancement consumable of choice is Thalassian Phoenix Oil for Critical Strike and Haste.

Helm, Shoulder and Boot enchants are up to personal preference as they have no direct impact on performance, but we recommend Avoidance for the extra survivability.

Gear Information

Best in Slot Gear and Where to Get It

Before applying gems and enchants to your equipment, make sure to check whether there might be an easy-to-get item that is better than the one you're currently wearing!

Gear

In addition to enchants and improvements to your gear, making sure you come prepared with the right consumables to endgame content has a big impact on your performance.

Flasks are a good way to adjust your secondary stats if you're lacking in a particular area with your gear setup. Due to the slight imbalance in priority between the two Hero Trees, recommendations can shift slightly:

• Flask of the Magisters – provides Mastery when playing Druid of the Claw.
• Flask of the Blood Knights – provides Haste when playing Wildstalker.

You can also obtain a flask of your choice from Cauldron of Sin'dorei Flasks, provided by Alchemists.

In Season 2, there's a few different options depending on your current gear level:

• Potion of Recklessness – generally strongest if you can trigger Mastery.
• Liquid Luster – niche use in single-target as a pre-pot for Convoke the Spirits.
• Light's Potential – if your gear isn't optimized for Recklessness.

Of the three, Potion of Recklessness will generally be the strongest as soon as your gear is set up to trigger a preferred stat. You may find in sims that, with unbalanced gearsets, Light's Potential is preferred - this is normal and you should follow the recommendation until your stats balance out to support it.

Potions should always be paired with major cooldowns alongside Bloodlust / Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting versions of any of these potions from a Voidlight Potion Cauldron, provided by Alchemists.

A note on Draught of Rampant Abandon is that, while it's technically stronger, one wrong step will pacify you inside the void zone that it occasionally spawns. It only takes 1-2 GCDs (or a cancelled Convoke the Spirits!) inside this to wipe out the extra value, so playing this potion generally isn't worth it.

Concentrated Silvermoon Health Potion is the current best healing potion. Using this has a 5-minute cooldown, but multiple can be consumed in an extended boss fight should it go on long enough. Additionally, Warlock's Healthstones do not share a cooldown with other healing consumables. Remember to use it as well if you are holding one!

Agility remains the strongest stat in Season 2, so you should be eating a Silvermoon Parade or other primary stat Feast if possible. If this isn't provided by your group, stick to Royal Roast personal food instead.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Void-Touched Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. These can be obtained through the weekly housing quest, but remember: Augment Runes are expensive and disappear on death, so use them wisely!

Alongside standard buff consumables, there are a handful of other items worth keeping hold of - especially in Mythic+:

• Gateway Control Shard — allows you to auto-interact with nearby Warlock Demonic Gateways.
• Void-Touched Drums — grants a weaker 15% Haste Bloodlust effect on your party when used. These are still affected by Sated, so should only be used if you have no party member that provides it naturally.
• Void-Shrouded Tincture — Midnight's invisibility potion, which can be used to skip certain trash pulls in Mythic+ if a pack will detect you during Prowl. Bear in mind this does share a cooldown with your offensive potion Potion of Recklessness.
