© The Warlocks Den 2008. All rights reserved. Not to be copied or redistributed without prior written approval. What is Spell Hit? Spell hit is a combat attribute that increases a caster's chance to hit with spells. Spell hit is primarily obtained from talents or gear that has hit rating. The more gear with hit rating a caster has the lower the chance the caster's spells will miss (i.e. an enemy resist the spells). With patch 3.0.2, spell hit is capped at 100%;...

Socketing Guide With the release of the first expansion, The Burning Crusade, a new way to improve your armor pieces was introduced - socketed items. A socketed item is like any other item, except that it can be upgraded by attaching magical gemstones into the item itself. This imbues the item with additional powers similar to an enchantment. A question that is raised a lot is "what gems should I use for xxx item?" - this guide is here to help solve those questions!...

The intention of this guide is to provide gear recommendations to beginner level 80 warlocks. I have mostly tried to pick the gear that drops in Regular/Heroic 5-man ToC, can be crafted, or is purchasable with Emblems of Conquest. I have included gear drops from other 5-man heroics and reputation, emblem and pvp rewards to fill the holes. I have minimised comments on each gear piece to make it more suitable for quick reference. Instead I am going to provide comments here and at the...

This guide is intended to be a helpful list of gear in the spirit of Canadian Pimp's guide. It's focused on actively raiding 3/14/54 Destro locks, but should be useful for other specs as well.

Please Note: This list is geared towards those NOT yet at the Hit Cap. The information is gathered from WoWHead after inputting the above figures into their weight stat filters. The Score given to each item is decided by WoWhead after taking into account all the attributes of the stats, as well as sockets. It compares the score of matching gems plus the score of the socket bonus, to the score of the best gems it could put in that item. It will automatically put in the gems that result in the...

Warlock gearing guide: Getting ready to raid (v. 3.1) This is getting somewhat outdated as of Patch 3.2. The normal and heroic mode of the new instance now drops shiny epics that easily compare to Naxx 10/25 gear. On top of that there's all those nice Argent Tournament rewards and all Emblem of Conquest and Emblem of Valor that is now available just from running heroic dungeons. You still might find parts of this guide useful, and maybe some day I will update it. So...

This isn't so much a guide as it is an addition to the excellent "Getting Ready for Naxx" gear guide published by lilsteele. I simply took that information and put it into a spreadsheet that can be printed out for easy reference. Gear in each category is listed in increasing order of usefulness. For example in the head slot four items are listed beginning with The Argent Skullcap which is an Icecrown quest reward. However, the best item in the head slot is the Titan-forged...

One of the issues with placing so much value in Hit (something that should be capped) is that you end up getting a lot of Best in Slot pieces with so much hit that altogether... its way too much. I put together a list of the perfect set with current available gear in my eyes. Note that for Hit, I found it to be much more beneficial to your DPS to gear for 13% Hit rather than 14% hit. This is because there are 3 floating points in the first two tiers of Affliction you must use. And...

Last Updated: Feb 2nd, 2008 ***************************************** The Art of shopping for your Demo needs ***************************************** This guide is solely aimed at PvE. While some PvP items will be listed the intention of this guide is to supply a "loot list" that's tailored to demonology warlocks that are raiding Zul'Aman, tier 5 and tier 6 instances. It is not a thread about Demonology raid viability, please take that discussion ...

Below is a list of all the Warlock appropriate gear obtained via Quest rewards, instances and tailoring in the new WotLK zones. I'm compiling the list so we can see what might be upgrades to our current gear prior to heading into the new zones, and so we can have a list to mark off and make sure we don't miss any. I don't expect every Warlock to find upgrades in the starting zones, a lot will have had a chance to raid and obtain better. But not everyone gets to raid, so am including...

Here are some results that I've used in order to assess which gear I may or may not change at level 80. I have not yet double checked them, but hope it may be useful for others. As you may know, Lootrank is one of the sites which can rank gear based on the value of each characteristics (stamina/intellect/spell power/...). The missing link are this value: this can be obtained with a neat tool, simulationcraft which basically simulates a raid of casters and compute their dps. ...

An Imp's Request is a quest Warlocks are able to obtain at level 50 that allows us to choose one of three rewards at the end - the Robe, the Staff or the Trinket. Since this quest was added into the game, the question revolving around which reward you should take has come up many, many times. I thought it was about time we had one final thread to end all others - the great debate: which reward do you recommend? If you're unaware of the quest, take a look at the guide - here. ...
