Destruction 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 Destruction Warlock in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Gems for Destruction Warlock
You should use gems matching your best simming stat. The recommendation below assumes Intellect is your highest-simming stat.
You should use 
Kraken's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and
Quick Owlseye (or the cheaper 
Quick Golden Beryl) in all other
sockets.
2. Enchants for Destruction Warlock
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
3. Consumables for Destruction Warlock
Battle Potion of Intellect is the best choice for all
situations.
Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
You should eat from the 
Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the
cheaper 
Galley Banquet) when possible,
and otherwise Haste food (
Swamp Fish 'n Chips or the cheaper
Ravenberry Tarts).
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
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.
