DPS Warlock BiS in WoW Forever
The gear for a level 60 DPS Warlock before raids (pre-BiS), slot by slot with where each piece comes from, plus a plan of which dungeons to run to get it. Click a slot to try other pieces; hover any item to see its tooltip. Caster: spell damage and power first, then Intellect, crit and hit.
Level 60 pre-BiS: the best gear before raids, calculated from items with a known source in Forever (level 60 dungeons, quests and professions). Pieces the client still ships encrypted carry Classic numbers and are marked.

My gear: is this an upgrade?
Put what you're wearing on the doll (click a slot and pick the piece) and save it. From then on, every item on the site tells you whether it's an upgrade and by how much.
Points are the piece's stats times your role's weights, the same ones the BiS uses. It's a gearing aid, not a simulation. Your gear is saved only in this browser.

Data from Wowhead's calculator (game client, September 24). Values may change between patches. Classic comparison: Classic Era 1.15.9 client data via wago.tools.
How it is worked out
We calculate the level 60 pre-BiS ourselves: in each slot, among the items your class can wear whose source we know in Forever (level 60 dungeons, quests, professions), the one that adds the most points with your role's weights wins. No raid loot and nothing above item level 63. Items with no known source are not recommended.
"While leveling" (20, 30, 40 and 50) does the same with what you can get at that level.
Many items still use their Classic numbers until the game launches: we'll review it at launch. The weights, below: one point of the stat is worth its number. A simple rule in plain sight, not a simulator.
