WoW Warlock Guides

The Warlock class can be customized by several “flavors” by using the in game talents. These talent schools will allow you to tailor your strengths and weaknesses to your play style. While many combinations are possible, the talents are broken into three main categories: Affliction, Demonology and Destruction. While all schools enhance the damage and survivability, each one focuses on a different aspect of the Warlock. The Affliction talents improve on the power of the damage over time spells. The Demonology talents strengthen the demons the Warlock summons and the destruction talents improve and enhance the hard hitting shadow and fire spells. All of these “flavors” or specialties are capable of quick leveling, high group damage output and excellent damage and survivability in player versus player combat. The fun part is discovering your favorite.

Only certain races can be Warlocks. For Horde players you must be Undead, Orc, or Blood Elf. Alliance players much choose between Gnome and Human. You may only wear cloth armor but have several weapon choices including; Daggers, Swords, wands, Staves. Some of the weapons you will not know how to use without first visiting a “Weapon Trainer” available at major cities. Be sure to visit them so you may expand you choices as you receive new weapons.

Playing a Warlock can be a lot of fun. The nature of their spells and power they posses allows a warlock to easily handle the most difficult of tasks alone, making the warlock one of the faster leveling classes in game. Once able to summon a demon as early as level ten they have a great advantage to tackle what most classes cannot, which also contributes to the fact that most Warlock players tend to be loners. Don’t let that fool you into thinking they do not perform well in a group. It is quite the opposite; the Warlock brings many group benefits and specializes in group creation with their summoning ability.

In player versus player combat, their most feared spell is fear, ironically. Fear can be casts against enemies and will cause the enemy to flee for a short duration of time. During the fear, the enemy has no control over their actions and any damage over time spells applied by the Warlock will continue to harm the target. The combination of fear and damage overtime spells can destroy an enemy player before they are ever in range to counter attack making the warlock one of the most deadly players in the field of battle.
