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) 8.1.5. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best 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
Masterful Tidal Amethyst (or the cheaper 
Masterful Kubiline) in
all other sockets.
2. Best Enchants for Destruction Warlock
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
3. Consumables for Destruction Warlock
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Destruction
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 Destruction
You should eat from the 
Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the
cheaper 
Galley Banquet) when possible,
and otherwise Mastery food (
Sailor's Pie or the cheaper
Loa Loaf).
3.3. Augment Runes for Destruction
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.
