Warlock Class Overview

Last updated on Nov 19, 2023 at 06:10 by Lavender 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.

Warlock in Season of Discovery

Find our new guides for Warlock in WoW Classic Season of Discovery below! The new game mode will have players find and utilize Runes that can then be engraved onto their gear to provide them special bonuses that augment already existing abilities or allow the class to use entirely new spells.

With the introduction of new Runes in Season of Discovery, not only will old builds be increased in power, but Warlock now has the option of being played as a Tank.

Warlock Specializations

Warlocks have three 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.
