WoW Forever Warlock Talents Guide

Warlocks come out of the Forever rework with a new Bane of Havoc style tool in Destruction and deeper demon synergy in Demonology. Affliction still wins long fights with Wrack, and healthstones still make everyone your friend.

Warlock Affliction tree in Forever

Wrack joins Shadow Word: Pain-style pressure at the top of the tree, with Shadow Mastery and Soul Siphon multiplying drain value. Nightfall procs keep the rotation surprising. This is the sustained-damage tree.

  • Shadow MasteryShadow Mastery5 ranks

Warlock Demonology tree in Forever

Demonic Pact and Master Demonologist tie your damage to your pet, and Soul Link splits incoming damage with it. The Felguard (if you pick the meta build) tanks your leveling deaths away.

  • Master DemonologistMaster Demonologist5 ranks

Warlock Destruction tree in Forever

Incinerate plus Shadow and Flame for direct damage, and Bane of Havoc as a new way to split damage onto a second target. Conflagrate finishes ember windows. Burst tree, simplest rotation.

What Forever changes for Warlock

Bane of Havoc gives Destruction a split-damage tool that Classic never had.
