WoW Forever Warlock Guides
Community builds for every Warlock spec. Plan your own in the Warlock talent calculator, follow the Warlock class journey from level 1 to raids, or see the new Warlock abilities and tier sets. Best PvP build per spec: Warlock PvP.
The Warlock has three talent trees: Affliction (DPS, 7 guides), Demonology (DPS, 5 guides) and Destruction (DPS, 4 guides). In guide terms, every Warlock tree is played as DPS.
This page lists all 16 published Warlock guides (3 PvE endgame, 4 PvP endgame, 4 solo leveling, 3 dungeon leveling and 2 group leveling); open a tree above for one spec. Plan your points in the Warlock talent calculator, weigh the trees against each other with talent compare, or follow the Warlock leveling guides. The dungeon level chart shows which dungeons open at each level, up to the level 55–60 dungeons at the top of the chart.
