You should use gems matching your best simming stat. If Intellect is simming highest, you should socket your gear with one Kraken's Eye of Intellect Icon Kraken's Eye of Intellect.

3. Consumables for Affliction Warlock

Battle Potion of Intellect Icon Battle Potion of Intellect is the best choice for all situations.

Flask of Endless Fathoms Icon Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of choice.

Bountiful Captain's Feast Icon Bountiful Captain's Feast is our go-to food. If your raid is not using feasts, you should use Sailor's Pie Icon Sailor's Pie (or your best-simming stat) instead.

Coastal Healing Potion Icon Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside Healthstone Icon Healthstones for emergency healing.

If you can afford it, you should use Battle-Scarred Augment Rune Icon Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to increase your primary stats. Since there is a finite amount of these runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
