Warlock Class Overview

Last updated on Sep 29, 2019 at 06:10 by Blainie 3 comments

Warlocks were mages that delved too deeply into the roots of demonic power. Consumed by a lust for dark knowledge, they've tapped into chaotic magics from beyond the world. The Burning Legion now feeds them their powers, allowing them to channel destructive energies and call upon the powerful emissaries of their demon masters.

Races for Warlocks

Warlocks can be played as Humans and Gnomes for the Alliance and Undead and Orcs for the Horde in Classic.

2.

Warlock Specializations

Warlocks have 3 talent specializations: Affliction, Demonology, and Destruction.

  • Affliction — This specialization focuses on amplifying the Warlock's damage over time, rather than direct damage.
  • Demonology — This specialization mainly increases the damage of the demons a Warlock can summon, as well as making sure the Warlock itself has more survivability.
  • Destruction — For Destruction Warlocks, fiery, catastrophic damage is of paramount importance and their talent tree reflects it.
