SoD 8 DPS Warlock BiS gear
All DPS Warlock BiS lists are fairly similar, especially between Demonology and Affliction. The main differences lie in the Neck slot and certain enchants. Destruction Warlocks, however, prefer different Head and Feet pieces compared to the other two specs.
While Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, is the dream weapon for all DPS Warlocks, Mirage, Rod of Illusion from the Scarlet Enclave is also a reliable alternative.
