About the Author
Terryn is a long-time wow player, having played the game since Christmas 2004, and has raided in every expansion in some fashion. Raiding experiences include: all 3 paladin specs, all 3 warrior specs, monk, and warlock, as well as regular PVP during TBC and Wrath on paladin and warlock. Previously a guide writer for Affliction Warlock in Legion, he is super excited to come back into Vanilla and relive the glory days. He will be posting guides on his
youtube
channel about all things classic, including warrior and warlocks, and his adventures running the Horde guild
<CUTE SHOES>
on an undetermined PVE server.
This guide was originally written by
ImAlive
, a long-time caster player. He has been active in the Classic WoW community for a long time and loves to theorycraft or crunch numbers! You can check him on his

Warlock PvE - Becoming the King of Shadows
If you want to learn about playing a Warlock in
Classic PvE
then look no further! This guide will go in detail as to how to reach your potential as a warlock and what to look for to optimize your character! Warlocks have a large pool of spells that can contribute towards their raids/dungeons with both utility and damage.
Some of these utility spells include
恐惧术
,
元素诅咒
,
暗影诅咒
,
鲁莽诅咒
.
Warlock's use a large pool of damaging spells, but primarily rely on
暗影箭
as their main source of damage. DoT abilities such as
腐蚀术
,
献祭
, and
痛苦诅咒
make up the majority of the damage leftover.
Classic Warlock Races
Because characters take longer to level and gear in Classic WoW, choosing the right race is an important part of character creation. Whether you're looking for the right aesthetics, or trying to decide on the best racial bonuses for a Warlock, our guide will help you make the right decision the first time. Remember that race changing didn't exist in Patch 1.12, so your choice is most likely permanent!
Race
德鲁伊
猎人
法师
圣骑士
牧师
潜行者
萨满祭司
术士
战士
矮人
侏儒
人类
暗夜精灵
兽人
牛头人
巨魔
亡灵
Best Horde Warlock Race
As a horde warlock player looking to be the best PvE warlock they can be, you will find yourself wanting to choose an
亡灵
. When looking at the base stats in the chart above we can see that undead has 1 more base Int and 2 more base Spirit when compared to the other horde warlock option,
兽人
.
This difference in stats is extremely minor. What is more important is the racial ability
被遗忘者的意志
given to Undead players. Throughout the dungeon and raiding experiences that you will encounter in Classic, you will find many cases where the boss will use a fear type ability and Undead players are able to immediately counter these effects, allowing them to keep pumping their damage. Orc players will not have these luxuries and will not be able to do any damage when under the effects of these fears. This can easily sway the damage rankings favorably towards undead players. Orc players gain the racial ability
命令
, which increases pet damage by 5%. However, in most circumstances, warlocks will not have their pets out in PvE, especially in raiding.
Best Alliance Warlock Race
侏儒
reign supreme for warlocks on the Alliance. Gnomes have 4 Int more and 1 less Spirit when compared to the other option for warlock on Alliance,
人类
. Although this is a minor difference.
The true advantage of Gnomes comes within their racials. Gnomes have a racial passive called
开阔思维
that gives them 5% more intellect. As the player gets more and more gear, this 5% of intellect will not only increase the size of your mana pool but also increase your chance to get a critical hit.
逃命专家
is another Gnome racial ability that can come in handy in PvE from time to time. Humans, on the other hand, gain 5% more Spirit with their racial passive
人类精魂
. However, Spirit is not a very impactful stat for warlocks.

Warlock Talent Builds
Unlike retail WoW, Classic uses a more traditional talent system consisting of three separate trees, which any Warlock may freely spec into. Each tree is themed to a specific specialization and requires points to be invested to progress further, with each capped by a special ability requiring 31 points. With a total of 51 points available at level 60, you could invest all of your points in one tree or spread them across multiple in order to create your own hybrid specialization and playstyle.
In this guide, we'll discuss some of the more powerful and popular builds, which talents you can't live without, and which you can afford to tailor to your preference.
Don't forget to follow along with our
Classic WoW Talent Calculator
, so that you can preview and plan out your build ahead of time.
Demonic Sacrifice / Ruin (9/21/21)
The Demonic Sacrifice or "
DS
" spec is the best spec for "Patchwork style" fights, where there are no forced movements. The spec revolves around summoning your Succubus to use the ability
恶魔牺牲
to sacrifice it for 15% more shadow damage and the talent
毁灭
. This allows the warlock to have the biggest critical hits possible with their primary spell, Shadow Bolt. Not only does Demonic Sacrifice buff your damage, but it also gives you better mana generation via
生命分流
. It just so happens that the damage you do to yourself with Life Tap is shadow damage! So, while Demonic Sacrificing your Succubus, your Life Tap will generate 15% more mana!
Shadow Mastery / Ruin (30/0/21)
The Shadow Mastery or "
SM
" spec is usually the more uncommon spec to raid with. This spec sacrifices a bit of damage for more utility. A warlock with this spec is able to have a pet out while raiding. Usually, this pet is the
召唤小鬼
, to use its
血之契印
ability while in the tank's group.
The most notable abilities this spec contains are probably the ability
夜幕
and
生命虹吸
.
夜幕
feels great when it procs, and it will proc often on cleave fights.
生命虹吸
gets a spot as well in the rotation now that the debuff limit is removed. Due to it being a leech effect (life-stealing in other words) the DoT snapshots. Meaning if you apply it whilst
暗影易伤
is up, it will keep dealing the 20% higher damage even if Improved Shadowbolt falls off.

Essential Warlock Consumables for Raid
Consumables are a vital part of Classic WoW, particularly in end-game raiding. With a gigantic pool of potential enhancements, there are multiple different consumables that you can use to improve your performance, as well encounters that rely on specific consumables for success! That means that depending on where your group is heading off, there are different consumables that should be brought, and lots of items to keep up with in Classic WoW.
For more information about consumables, including extensive lists of consumables needed for different raids and encounters, check out our
Classic WoW Consumable Overview
.
For Warlocks, the essential consumable list looks like this for a single attempt:
超级能量合剂
强效奥法药剂
暗影之力药剂
特效法力药水
有限无敌药水

Classic Warlock Professions
Professions are an important part of Classic WoW, offering useful benefits to players dedicated enough to maximize their potential. Whether crafting and enchanting pieces of gear, supplying your own consumables, or utilizing unique gadgets, professions can considerably enhance your gameplay. You can learn more about all professions in our
Classic WoW Professions Overview
.
No matter the class you choose to play, you can go with any professions you'd like. However, some professions give you slight edges over others. The professions PvE Warlocks want are Engineering and Tailoring.
There are some best in slot pieces of gear for Warlocks that are crafted.
虚空法袍
is the best warlock chest piece you can possibly wear early in the game and requires the warlock to have Tailoring to be able to craft it, as it is BoP. However, there is also
冬夜法袍
, which is BoE and only slightly worse. When
祖尔格拉布
is released Robe of the Void is replaced by using the
血藤
:
血藤护腿
血藤外套
血藤长靴
. This set doesn't require the Warlock to have Tailoring to wear it, but people who have Tailoring gain an extra 2% crit rating from wearing the whole set. As such it is mostly recommended to go Tailoring as of the release of ZG, anytime before you are not really missing out.
Unlike Tailoring, Engineering does not give you any special pieces of gear to craft (other than the occasional
绿色透镜
). Instead, you gain access to handy trinkets like
安全传送器:加基森
, and more importantly, explosives! The most useful of these explosives is
地精工兵炸药
. Goblin Sapper charge can give you a massive boost in damage in heavy AoE situations as it is a high damage, instant ability.

Raiding Playstyle
Spanning six raids and six world bosses, WoW Season of Mastery contains a lot of raid content for players to experience, broken up by a Seasonal release schedule. While all of the content won't be made available immediately on launch, you can prepare for them ahead of time with our WoW Raid Guides. Knowledge is power, and some classes or talent builds perform better in one raid over another, so knowing what you're going to face is key to defeating it!
Here we will cover what do you need to know when facing different challenges in dungeons and raids. It is important to remember that, unlike in retail, not every class has a good answer to every situation, with some even having complex restrictions, due to gameplay limitations like the debuff limit mechanic.
Unlike
法师
s, Warlocks do not have any talents that increase hit rating for your primary DPS spells, such as
暗影箭
. The only talent related to hit rating is
镇压
, which only counts for curses and
腐蚀术
. Even though Warlocks do not have any inherent hit rating, they are able to crit for massive amounts due to multiplier debuffs adding to their spell damage
夜幕
暗影诅咒
暗影之波
强化暗影箭
. This means that before warlocks obtain gear with hit rating, their damage can be very volatile, sometimes having massive crits back to back, and other times you can't get a spell to hit to save your life.
Luckily Warlocks get access to hit rating gear later in Classic, smoothing out their DPS.
Single Target
Single target DPSing as a warlock is not too complex in Classic. You put up your assigned curse and keep the DoTs rolling while
暗影箭
ing. However, be careful not to clip your DoTs off too early!
暗影灼烧
doesn't apply Improved Shadow Bolt but does consume a charge. Therefore, it is not always best to spam it off cooldown. Typically you want to end a boss fight with this spell,
OR
when you have to move and don't need to life tap.
Multi Target
As a Warlock, your best AoE ability is
地狱烈焰
, but you have to trust your healers to keep you alive! In most circumstances, you do not want to use this ability unless there are 3 or more targets that are able to be hit by it. If the Warlock player really wants to maximize their AoE damage, they can use
腐蚀术
while moving into position for
地狱烈焰
. If there are fewer than 3 targets, or your targets are spread out, the best thing to do is to use
腐蚀术
and
痛苦诅咒
(unless you are assigned to do another curse) on all targets, other than the main target. As this target usually has pre-assigned debuffs.
Final Thoughts
The Classic Warlock has a huge array of abilities. It is an easy class to play, but a very difficult class to master. Warlocks in Classic are ticking timebombs, getting explosively better with gear. If you want to play a class that has some volatile damage output early game, and usually being quite weak, but has massive crits with the proper debuffs later in the game, then this is the class for you!

Hey Alive we got news now about the itemization. Do you still plan to do the guide? I am personally a bit confused now on which items to gather at 60 as a lock.

Hi mate. Would it be possible to make a BiS list where we can see all the options that are viable, and rank them?
That way we could work our way trough the list and always reach for better gear, instead of wondering what gear to go for before we reach BiS.
There are many guides out there that does this and they are very helpful, but the differ in quality, and one is needed for 1.12 specifically. As a small example you could make a list for head armor like this:
瘟疫之心头饰
Naxxramas - Thaddius
织法者头巾
UBRS - General Drakkisath
血红毡帽
Stratholme - Magistrate Barthilas
Usually online this is written in exel or google docks were they show between 15 - 20 options per item slot. And it includes PVP rewards, crafted and regular boss loot. Showing stats, drop location and boss. No worries that Naxx is not available at launch, we could then just choose the next best item on the list.

Honestly, I'm not sure what drugs you're on. 30/0/21 was the preferred and only allowed spec in 90% of raiding guilds in Vanilla. You could run a 1 off talent spec but demonology was strictly not allowed for ANYONE. The damage was severely subpar. I'm not sure who ran the numbers for this spec but I've only seen it once, about 15 years ago as a test. It was never USED. Ask anyone from Warpath, Saga, Serenity Now, or Blood Legion. All top tier guilds, all from my vanilla server of Illidan. I'd love a response because I'm really interested to know where you got this information.

I read that you are working on an expanded guide - great! In case that any part of this guide is to be incorporated in the expanded one I just wanted to point out a mix-up in the section regarding Raiding Playstyle, you've linked the axe
夜幕
instead of the talent
夜幕
. Cheers!

Excellent Guide, would love to see commentary guide during gameplay one day, with PVE and PVP, more like a guided tutorial and tell us what your doing at the time.
Keep up the good work mate.

I have to disagree with this statement:
Unlike Tailoring, Engineering does not give you any special pieces of gear to craft
血藤护目镜
are awesome for any caster
