Affliction Warlock Pre-Raid Gear Set
The following list is considered to be pre-raid best in slot. This will be a list of the best gear you can get before stepping foot into any raid, along with some important optional pieces to help you either gain more Hit Rating or achieve your 4-set faster. Make sure you choose HIT RATING pieces of gear or reforge/gem for Hit until you've reached the 15% (5100 rating) Hit cap. Your gear list will follow the stat priority of the Affliction Warlock spec, which is as follows:
- Hit Rating (15% - 5100 rating is Hit Cap)
- Intellect
- Mastery Rating
- Critical Strike Rating
- Haste Rating

Reforging
Although we provide recommended reforging in the lists below, we also recommend installing the Reforgelite Classic addon to easily calculate your optimal reforging with any gear setup. It will automatically reforge your gear to your prefered stats in a couple clicks.
