Tier Set
- (2) Set Bonus: Consuming Soul Shards has a chance to grant you Chaos Maelstrom, increasing your critical strike chance by 15% for 10 seconds (was 10%).
- (4) Set Bonus: Your critical strikes deal 212% (was 208%) damage instead of the usual 200%.
The season 4 tier set does not impact gameplay in any meaningful way. This tier set is entirely passive and will naturally increase your damage without playing around it.
Destruction Warlock Best in Slot Gear
You should still prioritize the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Destruction Warlock, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.
Bullion Purchases
Generally the best option for your first bullion will be Dreambinder staff from Nymue and the second option is going to be the Eranog ring, Seal of Diurna's Chosen. You can switch the order of these and buy the Eranog ring over Dreambinder if you already have a good weapon.

Embellishments
For embellishments you most likely want to play with 2x Blue Silken Lining or Elemental Lariat and 1x Blue Silken Lining.
Which pieces are best to craft Blue Silken Lining on is going to be on bracers and whatever you are missing for the second slot/lowest item level. Crafted gear is 3 item level lower than fully upgraded mythic gear, so you want to avoid high budget pieces as much as possible, meaning the likely best spot to put your second BSL would be on neck, this also gives you an easy swap to lariat if your BSL uptime is low.
Trinkets
The best trinkets for Destruction are Belor’relos, the Suncaller and Nymue’s Unraveling Spindle. The Nymue trinket is especially strong because of Grand Warlock’s Design making our Infernal sync with the trinket.
