Mists of Pandaria Classic Demonology Warlock Gear and Best in Slot

The following list is considered to be Phase 5 best in slot for Demonology Warlocks. This will be a list of the best gear you can obtain this phase. This will be largely from the Raids and wearing FOUR set pieces from the new tier 16 set. Both the 2 and 4 set bonuses are strong and you should prioritize obtaining ASAP. Tier drops from bosses in the new raid Siege of Orgrimmar, as well as off the new World Bosses in Timeless Isle. Make sure you 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:

1. Hit Rating (15% - 5100 rating is Hit Cap)
2. Intellect
3. Haste Rating to 18% - 2 extra ticks of Corruption and Shadowflame, as well as 1 extra tick of Doom
4. Mastery Rating
5. Critical Strike Rating

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.
