They may use only staves, daggers, wands, and some swords for weapons.
Find out from this WoW warlock guide how a warlock is adept necromancers that specialize in anguish and torment. Though warlocks are unable to stand toe to toe in up close fighting, they easily compensate for that by casting devastating spells from a distance.
Several talents require the use of soul shards, which the warlock has to obtain by killing enemies. The warlock is one of the fastest characters to level and truly shines when soloing.
In a group, warlocks are frequently the biggest damage dealers.
They’re able to heal themselves via life tap and/or drain life, and also possess several crowd control spells (CC’s) such as fear and howl of terror. Since warlocks are able to acquire their mounts via quests, they save bucket loads of gold that the other classes need to pay.
The Affliction talent tree uses talents that are meant to improve a warlock’s curses, damage over time spells, and drains. This spec works great for farming, boss killing, and raiding. This spec is the best specialization for speed leveling.
Destruction talents concentrate on enhancing most fire and shadow spells thereby making your warlock a powerful direct damage dealer. With Destruction, it’s all about high damage per second (DPS) and huge critical hits. This talent tree can be hard to use at low level and is more often used after players hit higher levels. Although you’re able to do great damage, there are some negatives to this spec that should be considered. You will require a whole lot of soul shards, you will go through mana really quickly, and soloing is often incredibly difficult. On the flip side, it is really fun.
