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

Viability of Warlocks in WoW Classic PvE Content
Warlocks do not do top tier raid damage till the later stages of Classic WoW. However, at least three warlocks are typically brought to every raid due to the utility they bring with curses, soulstones, healthstones, and crowd controlling effects such as
放逐术
. Warlocks are a viable class to play in early game PvE due to their utility and gain viability later into the game as their DPS starts to quickly ramp up.
Warlocks are typically assigned a specific curse to maintain in each encounter/raid, with the best geared player prioritizing
痛苦诅咒
and sometimes
腐蚀术
in order to proc
夜幕
, all of which greatly inflate that player's damage relative to other Warlocks in their raid. This creates a large disparity between the top and bottom performers, as they not only benefit from better gear, but also the ability to use more damaging spells.
In addition to their damage and curses, Warlocks fill an important tank role in Ahn'Qiraj. Find out more about how Warlocks have changed in our
Biggest Changes of Phase 5 and Ahn'Qiraj
article.

Best Races for PvE WoW Classic Warlocks
Four races can be Warlocks in WoW Classic:
侏儒
and
人类
for the Alliance, and
兽人
and
亡灵
for the Horde.

Best Race for Alliance Warlocks
侏儒
is the best Classic WoW Alliance Warlock race for both PvE and PvP.
The primary benefit of raiding on Alliance is being able to raid with Paladins. Paladins have multiple impactful buffs for a Warlock such as
强效王者祝福
,
强效智慧祝福
, and
强效拯救祝福
. The main attribute that impacts a warlock's damage output gain from
强效王者祝福
is Intellect. 10% more intellect not only increases your chance to receive a critical strike (60 int =1% crit) but also increases the warlock's overall mana pool. Furthermore, since this buff gives a percentage increase, it gains more and more value, the more geared the warlock player gets.
强效智慧祝福
will lower the number of times a warlock will have to cast
生命分流
. Not only does this save some healer mana throughout the clearing of a raid, but it also lowers the number of global cooldowns (1.5 seconds) the warlock receives from using
生命分流
. Fewer globals spent on life tap means more time to cast damaging spells.
强效拯救祝福
is the most impactful of the paladin buffs for a warlock. Warlocks have no way to reduce threat other than
恶魔学识大师
, which sacrifices many impactful talents to obtain.
Moreover, warlocks are capable of producing some of the highest crits in Classic WoW since there are many debuffs to increase shadow damage. For these reasons, threat reduction from
强效拯救祝福
is extremely valuable to a warlock. If a warlock still produces a concerning amount of threat, Paladins have even
MORE
ways to help.
保护祝福
can save a warlock's life when they accidentally over aggro, or can allow a warlock player to play even more aggressively!
侏儒
Warlock
Gnomes are hands down the best race in the game for Warlock PvE due to to their ability,
开阔思维
. Although this passive racial ability is not game-breaking, it will affect the warlock at all times in PvE as opposed to other races that have abilities that are situational.
工程学专精
also makes a minor impact when raiders use engineering pets from trinkets such as
侏儒作战小鸡
and
奥金机械幼龙
. If a gnome takes the time to level their engineering to 315 these two pets will be level 63 when summoned, instead of 60. Not to mention that
逃命专家
is fantastic in PvP!
Racial Bonuses
奥术抗性
: Arcane Resistance increased.
开阔思维
: Intelligence increased by 5%.
工程学专精
: Engineering skill increased by 15.
逃命专家
: Escape the effects of any immobilization or movement speed reduction effect.
人类
Warlock
人类精魂
is the only racial ability from humans that affects a Warlock in pve. However, the Spirit gained is not significant since warlock gear does not have much, if any spirit at all. Furthermore, many warlocks will be raiding with the "Demon Sacrifice/Ruin" talent build, which has
恶魔之拥
, lowering a warlock's spirit even further. Lastly, humans have
感知
for PvP, but it does not stack with similar effects such as
侦测强效隐形
and
多疑
. Making it not too significant.
Racial Bonuses
外交
: Reputation gains increased by 10%.
锤类武器专精
: Skill with Maces and Two-Handed Maces increased by 5.
感知
: Dramatically increases stealth detection for 20 sec.
剑类武器专精
: Skill with Swords and Two-Handed Swords increased by 5.
人类精魂
: Spirit increased by 5%.
Best Race for Horde Warlocks
亡灵
is marginally better than
兽人
as the best Classic WoW Horde Warlock race for PvE, while
亡灵
and
兽人
are equal in PvP, providing benefits against different matchups.
Warlock players deciding to join the Horde are able to gain benefits that a Shaman player can provide. Shamans are capable of supplying warlocks with
法力之泉图腾
,
宁静之风图腾
, and even
法力之潮图腾
if the Shaman is specced into it! Unfortunately, warlocks tend to have a disadvantage in PvE on Horde because the totems that a shaman puts down are limited to only buffing the members of the party in which the shaman is placed. Meaning, if there is ever a lack of shamans in the raid group, then shamans will be prioritized towards melee groups over caster groups since
风怒图腾
makes such a large impact on raid performance. Whenever this happens, warlock players will quickly become threat-capped, limiting their damage output. Luckily both Horde races that can choose warlock as a class have great racial abilities for PvP.
兽人
Warlock
Orcs do not have many significant abilities for Warlocks in raids. The only racial orcs have that does impact a warlock's gameplay is
命令
. However, this racial is only beneficial under certain conditions. First, the warlock would have to be raiding with the "Shadow Mastery/Ruin" talent build since the alternative, "Demonic Sacrifice/Ruin" build opts to sacrifice their pet. Next, the warlock would only be allowed to use their
召唤小鬼
to DPS on fights where it is able to survive. There are many fights with AoE damaging effects, such as
堕落的瓦拉斯塔兹
, where your imp will die if not in
相位变换
. Then, if all of those conditions are met, your imp will do 5% more damage. One could argue that
坚韧
could contribute to raid performance. However, there are very few stunning effects in Classic WoW raids, and the ones that are present can be completely avoided if the warlock player positions themselves correctly. However, Hardiness is incredible in almost all PvP scenarios! Some Rogues despise the stun resistance of orcs so much that they avoid fighting Orc warlocks completely!
斧专精
- Skill with Axes and Two-Handed Axes increased by 5.
血性狂暴
- Increases base melee attack power by 25% for 15 sec and reduces healing effects on you by 50% for 25 sec.
命令
- Damage dealt by Hunter and Warlock pets increased by 5%.
坚韧
- Chance to resist Stun effects increased by an additional 25%.
亡灵
Warlock
There are two situational racial abilities that benefit Undead Warlocks in a raid. These two abilities are
被遗忘者的意志
and
暗影抗性
. Let's start by discussing the benefits of
被遗忘者的意志
. There are multiple boss encounters in Classic WoW that have AoE-fearing effects. Some can be avoided without any DPS loss, and some are very difficult to avoid without losing DPS. During these encounters, Undead warlocks can use their Will of the Forsaken to completely avoid one fear, allowing the undead warlock to continue to DPS for 4+seconds (depending on the encounter) while Orc warlocks will be stuck in fearing effects. The faster that these sorts of bosses are defeated, the more of an impact Will of the Forsaken will have on the DPS meters. Will of the Forsaken is also instrumental in PvP, allowing Undead warlocks to have an extreme advantage versus any Warlock of another race!
暗影抗性
, while only minimally, helps warlocks reduce shadow damage taken from some bosses that can cast damaging shadow abilities. The most common of these examples would be using a warlock to tank
维克洛尔大帝
.
Racial Bonuses
食尸
: When activated, regenerates 7% of total health every 2 sec for 10 sec. Only works on Humanoid or Undead corpses within 5 yds. Any movement, action, or damage taken while Cannibalizing will cancel the effect.
暗影抗性
: Shadow Resistance increased by 10.
水下呼吸
: Underwater breath lasts 300% longer than normal.
被遗忘者的意志
: Provides immunity to Charm, Fear and Sleep while active. May also be used while already afflicted by Charm, Fear or Sleep. Lasts 5 sec.
WoW Classic Warlock DPS Specializations
Classes in Classic WoW will earn a total of 51 talent points, allowing them to take talents from multiple trees, though most builds typically invest the majority of their points in one tree, while taking only select bonuses in the others. Warlocks are a somewhat special case in that they frequently skip the bottom-most talents in order to better hybridize among all three talent trees, though several viable talent combinations still exist, depending on whether the player is interested in PvE or PvP.
Affliction:
A master of shadow magic who specializes in drains and damage-over-time spells.
Shadow Mastery/Ruin builds bring utility, multiple DoTs and, use a pet while raiding, often to increase the health of group tanks. A similar build exists for PvP which sacrifices tankiness for better sustain and damage potential.
Demonology:
A master of demons who compels demonic powers to aid them.
Master Demonologist builds are useful for raiding Warlocks who find themselves continually needing to stop DPS in order to manage their threat, allowing them to deal more damage than they otherwise would if their tank was unable to keep up. It also forgoes sacrificing their pet for damage, allowing it to benefit the party instead. Ideally, you should never have to resort to this build.
Destruction:
A master of chaos who calls down fire to turn and demolish enemies.
Conflagrate builds are the most fragile, but highest damage potential PvP builds, able to burst full health players to dust in a matter of seconds, excelling in duels and other 1v1 situations, though susceptible to being ganged up on and taken down easily in team fights.
Hybrid
: As stated, Warlocks are a special case in that they frequently abstain from using the 31 point talent in any particular tree, instead of spreading their points more evenly.
The Demonic Sacrifice build is the strongest single target spec (if no movement is involved), revolving around sacrificing their Succubus pet in order to deal 15% more shadow damage. It has several drawbacks, however precluding the use of a pet, which can be an important buff for raid tanks, and less cleave damage compared to the SM Ruin build.
Best Warlock Spec for PvE in WoW Classic
Affliction is the best Warlock spec for early Classic WoW, as players will use a Shadow Mastery / Ruin (30/0/21) for maximum performance. It has the benefit of being well-performing in solo content, cleave damage, fights with forced movement, and holds its own in PvP.
A more-uncommon Warlock spec is Demonology, running a Demonic Sacrifice / Ruin (9/21/21) build. This spec used to be the best performing with limited access to debuff slots. This is no longer the case. DS Ruin still provides the highest single target DPS as long as there is no forced movement, this is also known as a "Patchwork style" fight. They can also provide different ranks of
特效治疗石
thanks to their talents.
Viable end-game PvE builds are covered in our Classic Warlock DPS Talents & Builds Guide.
Best Professions for Classic Warlocks
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
工程学
and
裁缝
.
Tailoring
There are a few items from different phases of content that are best in slot but require Tailoring.
Phase 1:
虚空法袍
, crafted from
图样:虚空法袍
(an extremely rare drop from
黑暗院长加丁
), is the best in slot chest piece until the warlock player either receives
波动长袍
that drops in Molten Core or
血藤外套
in phase 4. Robe of the Void cannot be crafted unless the player has 300/300 tailoring. It is important to note that while this chest piece is technically best in slot,
冬夜法袍
is not far behind it in terms of DPS gain. Also, Robe of Winter Night does not require the warlock to roll tailoring since it is bind on equip and will save the warlock player a lot of gold!
Phase 4:
血藤
, consisting of the three items
血藤护腿
血藤外套
and
血藤长靴
, do not technically require the warlock to have tailoring to acquire like
虚空法袍
does since each of the Bloodvine items are bind on equip. Even so, warlock players will still want to have 300 Tailoring when wearing this set. The set-bonus, 2% spell critical strike chance, will only be activated if the player wearing the items has 300 Tailoring and 2% spell critical strike chance is
NOT
something warlock players will want to miss out on!
Engineering
Engineering improves performance in three different ways. It improves damage output, gives access to gear, and grants access to various useful trinkets!
As for damage output, the primary item used would be the notorious
地精工兵炸药
. This explosive has no cast time and has no maximum number of targets it can hit. If the player has a well-timed sapper charge during AoE encounters, they can instantly jump up the damage meters! The downside to this explosive is that not only does it hurt the user when cast, but also requires the player to be in near-melee range of any enemies they wish to hit. If there are AoE scenarios that are too threatening for the warlock to get too close to, he/she can opt to use a
致密炸弹
.
Early into the game in Phase 1 of content warlocks with engineering can use
绿色透镜
of Shadow Wrath for +36 shadow damage, which is one of the best pre-raid helmets. Later into the game when
祖尔格拉布
is released in Phase 4 comes access to another Bloodvine item,
血藤护目镜
. This helmet is an amazing pre-raid helmet if the player does not already have the rank 10 PvP set 2-piece bonus (helmet + shoulders).
Although there are several pets available to the player through engineering warlocks are primarily concerned with getting
奥金机械幼龙
and
侏儒作战小鸡
.
奥金机械幼龙
is useful once reaching
安其拉
and
纳克萨玛斯
once Mages are able to use their fire talent build. Players summon arcanite dragonling against bosses because of the debuff it applies,
烈焰打击
. If your arcanite dragonling is on cooldown or your guild is raiding
熔火之心
and
黑翼之巢
, warlocks can be swapped into melee heavy groups to use
侏儒作战小鸡
. This little chicken has a chance to cast the buff
作战鸣叫
for all of the melees in the group! It is also important to note that both of these pet trinkets can be used before engaging any boss and swapped over to another DPS trinket. Swapping the pet trinket away will not make the pet disappear! Warlock's who opt to tank
维克洛尔大帝
will want to get two
快速暗影反射器
since they are the best shadow resistance trinkets available when heading into
安其拉
.

Having will of the forsaken for fear effects is definitely nice. But unlike stuns fears can be taken care of a bit easier on Horde side. As long as there is a shaman in the group a well placed tremor totem can nullify most of the adverse effects if timed properly. Puts less agency in the hands of the Warlock themselves compared to the forsaken racial but is more consistent and reliable since it has no cooldown. That said Will of the Forsaken is still very strong; it's just worth noting that if the lock has a shaman in the group in can be made less needed/useful.

Nice guide,
You forgot Siphon life / coex and imp coex in the overview of talents list though :)

Lastly, humans have Perception for PvP, but it does not stack with similar effects such as Detect Greater Invisibility and Paranoia. Making it not too significant.
Greater Invisibility Detection is for detecting Invisibility, not stealth. It allows you to see mages who used invisibility, and players who consumed invisibility potions.
It is also worth noting that for PvP, a Voidwalker or Succubus are the ideal pets to fight with VS a rogue. Which means that the overlap from Paranoia from Felhunter not stacking is somewhat irrelevant in the context of PvP.

Are you at a massive disadvantage if you pick human instead of gnome as Alliance warlock?
