Demonology Warlock raid consumables

The consumables checklist for a Demonology Warlock in TBC Classic: 8 lines, each naming what it is before it names the item, and why it is on the list.

What a Demonology Warlock brings to a raid

• flask
  Flask of Pure Death

  Lasts two hours and survives death. The one buff you never have to re-apply.
• elixir
  Elixir of Major Shadow Power then Elixir of Major Firepower then Elixir of Draenic Wisdom

  Cheaper than a flask, and you lose it when you die.
• oil
  Brilliant Wizard Oil

  Goes on your weapon before the pull and lasts an hour.
• potion
  Destruction Potion

  For mid-fight. Every potion shares one cooldown, so you get few of them.
• food
  Poached Bluefish or Blackened Basilisk or Crunchy Serpent or Oronok's Tuber of Spell Power

  Well-fed. Half an hour, and it goes when you do — eat after a wipe.
• rune
  Dark Rune or Demonic Rune

  Mana back at the cost of health, without spending your potion.
• extra
  Flame Cap (if Fire)

  Situational — worth having in the bag, not worth stressing over.
• drums
  Drums of Battle (if Leatherworker)

  Leatherworking only, and it buffs the group around you.

From Wowhead’s Warlock DPS guide — a recommendation, not something this site measured. Skipping one is not a mistake; the list is deliberately thorough. Every name opens Wowhead.

How to read it

This checklist is not something this site measured. It is transcribed from Wowhead's own Warlock DPS guide, and it is a recommendation: 8 lines, 14 items, covering flask, elixir, oil, potion, food, rune, extra, drums. Each line says what the thing IS before it names the item, because the question a Demonology Warlock arrives with is "why am I carrying this" rather than "what is it called".

Where a line offers several items joined by or, any one of them satisfies it; then means the second is the fallback when the first is out of reach. A flask lasts two hours and survives death, so it is the one buff a damage dealer never re-applies mid-night; battle and guardian elixirs are cheaper and go when you do. Every potion in the game shares one cooldown, which is why the list names few of them.

Skipping one is not a mistake — the list is deliberately thorough, and a night with the flask and the food is most of the way there. Every name opens Wowhead. The raid gear checker on this site reads the same guide when it asks whether a raider turned up buffed.
