Warlock Pre-Raid Best in Slot Gear
In this guide we go over the pre raid bset in slot for Affliction Warlocks.This list will contain items from obtained from a mix of things to help get youcaught up and ready to raid end game in Wrath of the Lich King. Most of thesepieces can be found from the Titan Rune Gamma dungeons, which drops Defiler'sScourgestones that can be turned in for really strong pieces like Flare of the Heavens, Belt of Biting Cold and multiple other items. Your Tier 10 set is very importantand needed to later upgrade to even stronger versions of the Tier. These are obtainedvia Emblem of Frost. Until you get your Tier 10, Tier 9 is an option to wear andis not that hard to get from Emblem of Triumph and Trophy of the Crusade. Youcan of course go into the previous raids to obtain easy catch up loot in The Nexus,however some of the gear won't be as strong as the ones listed below from Defiler's Scourgestones.Note that there are also different names for some of the items, depending on if you're Horde or Alliance
There is more than one item listed on some slots, one will typically have more hit and the otherwon't. If you're hurting on hit rating, then you can choose the one with hit. Some options will alsorequire less Scourgestones, making you have to farm less.
