Which items to gather pre-raid is highly dependent on which phase you’re playing on, so it is impossible to compile a perfect Warlock pre-raid BiS list. In the spoiler below, there’s a list including all the best non-raid items from patch 1.12 — which means that some of these items might not be acquirable on your server. Before you start the search for these items, make sure that they are actually in the game so you don’t waste your time looking for non-existing equipment.
