The Best Pre-Naxx Gear for a World of Warcraft Warlock

Naxxramas is the stronghold of the powerful lich lord Kel̵7;Thuzad in ̶0;World of Warcraft.̶1; You may pursue the flying dungeon into the frozen reaches of Northrend in an attempt to stop the undead armies of the Scourge from continuing their attempted domination of the game̵7;s fictional setting of Azeroth. Warlocks bring powerful damage-over-time and debuff spells to this battle, and the correct selection of gear can drastically increase these effects.

Head, Shoulders and Chest
- The best statistics for a Naxxramas-raiding warlock are intellect spell power and hit rating, and the player-versus-player titan-forged Helm of Dominance from Wintergrasp grants high intellect along with an impressive 44 hit rating. For shoulders, try the Runecaster̵7;s Mantle found in Utgarde Keep for an extra bonus to intellect. The greatest boost to intellect and hit rating for a chest item prior to entering Naxxramas comes in the form of the Heroes̵7; Plagueheart Robe. Purchase the robe from the vendor in Dalaran using Tokens of Heroism.
Waist, Legs and Feet
- The Sash of Ancient Power pattern from the tailoring profession grants high intellect and hit rating bonuses, and it possesses a slot bonus for additional spell power. Tailoring also provides the best footwear for warlocks prior to Naxxramas. For legs, fight Loken in the heroic version of the Halls of Lightning for the Woven Bracae Leggings. The Savior̵7;s Slippers combine high intellect with critical strike rating and another spell power bonus.
Wrists, Hands and Back
- Warlocks can don the Wraps of the Astral Traveler for a bonus to intellect and hit rating. You may find the wraps by turning in 60 Tokens of Valor to a vendor in Dalaran. Tailoring once again proves the best profession for warlock gear at this level, and the Crafted Ebonweave Gloves provide 66 intellect and 51 hit rating. The best back item for warlocks comes from tailoring as well, the Deathchill Cloak.
Jewelry, Gems and Trinkets
- Purchase the Inscribed Ring of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran for a nice bonus to the warlock̵7;s primary stats. This ring is classified as unique and you may wear only one per character. The Jewelcrafting Ring of Northern Tears fills the second ring slot nicely. Veiled Twilight Opals provide the best option for regular sockets, and the Ember Cuts provide bonuses for meta gem slots. Two unique trinkets, the Sundial of the Exiled and the Egg of Mortal Essence, complete the gear required for the best pre-Naxxramas warlock setup.
