Mists of Pandaria Classic Demonology Warlock Gear and Best in Slot
On this page, you will find the best PvE gear and best in slot items for your Demonology Warlock in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Demonology Warlock Best in Slot
The following list is considered to be Phase 3 best in slot. This will be a list of the best gear you can currently obtain. This will be largely from the Raids. 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 Demonology Warlock specialization, which is as follows:
- Hit Rating (15% - 5100 rating is Hit Cap)
- Intellect
- Haste Rating to 18% - 2 extra ticks of
Corruption and 
Shadowflame, as well as
1 extra tick of 
Doom - Mastery Rating
- Critical Strike Rating
For more information on the Demonology Warlocks Stats and Stat Priority, check out our Demonology Warlock Stats and Stat Priority Guide.
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.
