Mists of Pandaria Classic Destruction Warlock Enchants and Consumables
On this page, we list the best enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Destruction Warlock in Mists of Pandaria Classic for PvE content.
Best Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Destruction Warlock
Enchants, Gems and Consumables are CRUCIAL to maximizing your damage as an Destruction Warlock. Too many times do I see people in raid without these and I cannot express how important it is to purchase and use these on your gear. Remember to put them on your new gear upgrades as well! These can be the difference from bottom and top of the meters.
For gearing recommendations before stepping into the new raids, check out our Pre-Raid Gear Guide.
Make sure to check out our in-depth Rotations page, where you can learn how to fully maximize your damage as a Destruction Warlock..

Gems
Burning Primal Diamond is your optimal meta gem, offering both Intellect and a 3% boost to
critical effect damage. Later in the expansion,
Sinister Primal Diamond will be available and
you'll switch to that.
- Red Sockets:
Brilliant Primordial Ruby or
Artful Vermilion Onyx
- Yellow Sockets:
Fractured Sun's Radiance,
Fractured Sun's Radiance, or
Artful Vermilion Onyx
- Blue Sockets:
Veiled Imperial Amethyst or
Sensei's Wild Jade
Consumables
Food
Much like with gems, your food buffs should prioritize Intellect wherever possible. If you're still lacking in Hit Rating, we highly suggest using the food that gives you Hit Rating instead.
Mogu Fish Stew — Best overall
Spicy Salmon — Use if you need Hit Rating
Pandaren Banquet or
Great Pandaren Banquet — Feast options
Flask and Potions
Use Flask of the Warm Sun for all PvE content as your go-to flask.
Potion of the Jade Serpent is your best potion choice for burst phases or pre-pull optimization. Be
sure to pre-pot before the pull if the encounter is long enough to use a second potion later in the
fight.
