Affliction Warlock DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Affliction Warlock in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best Gems for Affliction Warlock
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.
For most players, the best setup will be using
Masterful Tidal Amethyst in each socket.
2. Best Enchants for Affliction Warlock
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
3. Consumables for Affliction Warlock
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Affliction
Battle Potion of Intellect is the best choice for all
situations.
Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
3.2. Best Food for Affliction
Bountiful Captain's Feast is our go-to food. If your raid is not
using feasts, you should use 
Sailor's Pie (or your best-simming
stat) instead.
3.3. Augment Runes for Affliction
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. 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.
