Best Enchants for Destruction Warlocks in Wrath of the Lich King Classic

Enchants are very important and luckily very easy to obtain since you can buy most of the Enchantment scrolls off the Auction House for pretty cheap. However, there are a couple enchants that are locked behind faction Reputations. For your Head enchant you must be Exalted with Kirin Tor which is as simple as wearing their tabard while doing your Heroic Dungeons. As for your shoulder Enchant, this is also locked behind reputation. This one is Sons of Hodir and starts with a quest chain in K3 of the Storm Peaks zone called They Took Our Men!.

Below is a list of the recommended enchants for a Destruction Warlock in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, listed in order of priority.

    2. Potion of Speed Icon Potion of Speed or Potion of Wild Magic Icon Potion of Wild Magic
    3. Flame Cap Icon Flame Cap

    3.1.

    Flasks

    Flask of the Frost Wyrm Icon Flask of the Frost Wyrm is the only flask recommended as it provides the most Spell Power.

    3.2.

    Firestone

    Use Create Firestone IconCreate Firestone on your weapon at all times. This will give you 1% extra damage to your direct damaging spells, but also gives you 196 Critical Strike rating.

    3.3.

    Potions

    Both of these potions are very good for Destruction. Potion of Speed Icon Potion of Speed is the best option for both your prepot and your second potion use. However, be careful, as you get more gear and more Haste, using this potion can cause you to go under the global cooldown of your spells. If this begins to happen, then use Potion of Wild Magic Icon Potion of Wild Magic instead.

    3.4.

    Food Buff

    For your food you have a few options. You can use a Fish Feast Icon Fish Feast, Firecracker Salmon Icon Firecracker Salmon, or Tender Shoveltusk Steak Icon Tender Shoveltusk Steak, which all give you the same amount, 46 spell Power and 40 Stamina. Most guilds have Fish Feast Icon Fish Feast, but it is suggested to always keep a stack of whatever is the cheaper food on your server out of the Firecracker Salmon Icon Firecracker Salmon or Tender Shoveltusk Steak Icon Tender Shoveltusk Steak. There is also a food called Snapper Extreme Icon Snapper Extreme, which gives you 40 Hit Rating and 40 Stamina. This food can come in handy if you are just shy of some Hit and want to finish it off.

    Profession Items for Destruction Warlocks

    4.1.

    Engineering

    Both of these items should be used on cooldown. It might not seem like much, but the damage adds up. Use Global Thermal Sapper Charge Icon Global Thermal Sapper Charge on AoE if you can and throw some Saronite Bomb Icon Saronite Bomb every 60 seconds. It does not have a cast time and also does not take a global to use it, so it is free damage.

    4.2.

    First Aid

    While these are minor and will see little use, it is always recommended to keep them on hand for the quick, Mana-free heal.
