Destruction Warlock DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5
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) 8.2.5. We also give budget alternatives.
Best Gems for Destruction Warlock
You should use gems matching your best simming stat. If Intellect is simming
highest, you should socket your gear with one
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect.
For most players, the best setup will be using
Masterful Sea Currant in each socket.
Best Enchants for Destruction Warlock
| Slot | Enchantment |

Consumables for Destruction Warlock
Best Flasks and Potions for Destruction
Potion of Unbridled Fury is the best choice for single-target situations.
For 2 enemies and more, start using 
Superior Battle Potion of Intellect or
Potion of Empowered Proximity.
Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
Best Food for Destruction
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table is our go-to food. If your raid is not
using feasts, you should use 
Abyssal-Fried Rissole (or your best-simming
stat) instead.
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.
