Phase 3 Warlock BiS Gear Guide (Pre-Raid & Raid) : Classic WoW

This video aims to show you the best available Warlock gear in each item slot, both pre-raid and raid gear, for phase 3 of classic WoW. Blackwing Lair has some amazing items, and my hope is to not only show you which ones are best, but explain why certain items or combinations of items are better than others! Please remember to like the video if you enjoyed or learned something, and leave a comment letting me know!
I play a Warlock named Orpheos on the Pagle PvE Server on NA East, and you can check my parses here: classic.warcraftlogs.com/char...
Here's a link to the Warlock Simulation Sheet that I used for the math/gear comparisons in this video. You can download a copy of this sheet to fill in your own gear, as well as the consumes/buffs you use, to sim your own gear and damage calculations: / zephans_warlock_gearsheet

I know this one is a bit of a long one, but I wanted to go in depth to fully explain it all. Thanks for watching, remember to leave a like if you enjoyed, and sub for more WoW Classic Content. (Also, there's a table of contents with timestamps in the description if you just wanna skip to certain parts of the vid and not watch 46 minutes of me talking). Enjoy!

I'm literally crying rn. I used to watch & play along with you while you were working on your MCFS series, back in 2013. I ended up checking out your old account, and I was curious to see how you were doing. I was going to comment on your latest video, the one where you announced the finalization of your band's song being added into rock band. I wanted to see how you had been doing, and thats when I came across your main channel once again. I'm glad to see you're doing what you enjoy, and that you're still kickin' around & gaming. Hope all is well, and that you're staying safe during this Covid-19 nonsense. Cheers Brob, ~Marcus

actually a really well put together video. Amazing job my friend.

[@DisruptivleySekC]

Wow. I remember you as well, Anarchy. I hope you're doing great as well. Thank you for all the sweet memories I have due to you two. I hope all is well. Cheers, ~Marcus

what about the t2 set bonus when the bloodvein set comes out?

[@Brobson]

If you have all of the OS BiS pieces, (like arcane accuracy bracers, mantle of the blackwing cabal, mishundare, ebony flame gloves), then they end up being better than the 3 piece set, so you drop the 3 piece set effect in P4 when you pick up bloodvine. If you're still missing some of the bis pieces, though, it might still be worth it to run 3 piece with like t2 shoulders helm and bracers. You just have to calculate how much SP you'd be losing by replacing your current gear in those slots with the t2 pieces to get the 23 SP bonus. It really just depends on which pieces you do/don't have already. But TL:DR, the full BiS in p4 is to drop the 3 piece set and use bloodvine with your offset BiS pieces. The only t2 you'll still use in p4 raid bis is Nemesis Belt.
