Demonology Warlock Best in Slot — MoP, Pre-Raid

Ranged DPS · Updated 2026-07-19 Draft — being verified

Pre-raid entry point for fresh 90s in the final MoP phase: Celestial Dungeons drop Siege of Orgrimmar Normal-level loot. Icy Veins has no current Phase 5 pre-raid table for this spec (its pre-raid page still shows the Throne of Thunder-era catch-up list), so this list is derived from its Phase 5 BiS list — the same items at Normal item level, obtainable via Celestial Dungeons (this mirrors how Icy Veins builds its Phase 5 pre-raid lists for other classes). Enchants and gems match our SoO list (same patch). Draft from Icy Veins MoP Classic guides. ⚠ Unerring Vision of Lei Shen is a Throne of Thunder drop that Icy Veins still rates BiS for Demonology — it does NOT drop in Celestial Dungeons; run ToT for it or use any SoO Normal trinket instead.
