On this page, you will find the best pre-raid gear for Demonology Warlock in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Demonology Warlock Pre Raid Gear Set
The following list is considered to be pre-raid best in slot for Demonology Warlocks. 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. We use August Stone Fragments to fill in a large portion of the Pre-Raid Gear. These are easily farmed inside of Celestial Dungeons, then you can take your August Stone Fragments to your Factions Avatar of the August Celestials to purchase the items listed below. Your gear list will follow the stat priority of the Demonology Warlock spec, which is as follows:
- Hit Rating (15% - 5100 rating is Hit Cap)
- Intellect
- Haste Rating soft cap (3036 for one extra
Doom tick, 8064 for two) - Mastery Rating
- Critical Strike 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.
