Demons are dangerous creatures, the meeting with which does not bode well for any hero. But it’s easy to cope with only one character from the WoW universe - the warlock. These sorcerers are able to subjugate not only the most ordinary demons, but even with a sufficient level of knowledge, they are subject to charming succubi and even invincible fel hunters and demons of the Abyss. About how to develop a character, about his skills and much more will tell this guide on the warlock.
Unusual hero
Warlock is the most versatile and interesting of the spellcasters, who loves to use dark magic in the name of good. This hero will boldly look at the very bottom of the Abyss and use the destructive power of fel to win, which scares even his allies. Warlock, another name for this class, will easily force itself to serve dark and fiery magic, as well as summon all demons to its side, making it one of the most powerful characters in the WoW game. Warlock can easily put a negative effect on the enemy, reducing its performance and causing damage to health. Also able to resurrect himself and an ally on the battlefield. A huge arsenal of spells makes this class useful in any adventure that awaits the player in the vast expanses of the game WoW.
The character’s specialization gives him certain bonuses, but it’s impossible to pump all the skills, so you should think in which direction to develop.
Demonology
Although any warlock can summon creatures, only a demonologist can summon crowds of demons sweeping away opponents. This specialization makes it possible to absorb the souls of dead enemies and use their power for their own purposes. Such VoB characters themselves are able to turn into demons, which significantly increases all their characteristics. Demonologists have a large arsenal of useful spells:
- Call Dreadstalkers - Summon two hunters to attack the target for 12 seconds.
- Demonic Empowerment - Strengthening the three most powerful active demons, as well as increasing their speed and health by 50% for 12 seconds.
- Shadow Bolt - defeat the enemy with an arrow of darkness. Allows you to accumulate 1 soul shard.
- Doom - a curse that inflicts huge damage 20 seconds after application.
- Hand of Gul'dan - Summon a demonic meteorite teeming with wild demons that will attack the enemy for 12 seconds.
- Demonwrath - every second, all enemies within a radius of 10 meters from any demon take small damage.
But that’s not all the demonologist can do in WoW. Warlock can apply his special Implosion talent. In this case, the caused demons will run up to the indicated target and explode, causing significant damage to all enemies in the affected area. The spell is cast instantly and spends 6% mana.
Witchcraft
Such a sorcerer specializes in imposing negative effects that inflict huge damage to the enemy. The ability to use dark magic and a huge selection of curses, as well as the ability to cast control spells make the sorcerer a rather dangerous opponent. Basic spells:
- Unstable Affliction (Unstable Affliction) - a dangerous curse, causing significant damage to dark magic for 8 seconds. If at this time the target dies, then the sorcerer receives a shard of the soul back. The caster who dared to remove the curse takes significant damage and is “numb” for 4 seconds.
- Corruption (Damage) - a curse that inflicts small damage to the target for 14 seconds.
- Drain Life (Drain Life) - a spell that draws life from the enemy and restores the health of the sorcerer by 18% for 6 seconds.
- Agony (Agony) - the target takes damage for 18 seconds, while the level of damage increases with each passing moment. This spell gives some chance of a soul shard accumulating.
- Mastery: Potent Afflictions - increased damage from other spells by 62.5%. The level of damage depends on the equipment.
Also in the arsenal of the sorcerer is the passive ability of Contagion, which allows you to use the Unstable Affliction curse repeatedly and without cost. Next, we will find the most dynamic specialization that the WoW warlock character can use.
Destruction
Warlock, having chosen such a development, is able to control the destructive force. His spells instantly inflict huge damage to all enemies not only with fire and magic, but also with pure Chaos, shadows and Fel.
Key abilities:
- Havoc - The target of the curse is marked with Chaos for 8 seconds. At the same time, curses affecting other opponents will also damage the marked target.
- Incinerate is a fire spell that does medium damage. Range - 40 meters, cast time - 2 seconds, costs - 6% mana.
- Chaos Bolt - Releases a powerful Chaos charge that inflicts critical damage to an enemy with dark magic.
- Immolate - a burning spell that does little damage on use and increases to a critical point after 15 seconds.
- Conflagrate is a useful spell that causes the target to explode, allowing the player to accumulate a shard of soul. Also useful properties include a decrease in the recharge of other spells.
- Mastery: Chaotic Energies - Increases damage from destructive spells by 40%.
Using special talent, Channel Demonfire enables the warlock to fire 15 fel fire arrows, setting fire to enemies within a radius of 40 meters and dealing average damage over 3 seconds.
Character Benefits
Amazing characters of the Warlocks Warlocks due to their abilities are useful not only in single player, but also in raid.
Hero skills:
- The resurrection of himself and an ally. The skill can be used only if you previously hang a soul stone.
- Create healing stones.
- Summon any number of allies to any distance.
- The ability to impose a huge number of negative effects on the enemy, reducing their strength and health.
- Ability to increase endurance and spell power of any raid or group.
Races and Factions
A properly selected race will give a small bonus to the warlock from the world of WoW. Classes that increase the character's abilities when playing for the Alliance:
- Worgen - Increase Critical Damage by 1%, thanks to his Embittered Ability.
- Gnome - 5% increase in basic mana.
The situation is completely different if you play for the Horde in WoW. The classes available to such a warlock are the Forsaken, the goblin, the blood elf, the troll and the goblin. But, playing for the Horde, it is better to stop your attention on the orc, because his ability “Bloody Fury” will increase many times the attack power of the summoner and his pets.
Useful profession for the warlock
Outfitting a character is of great importance in the game. And in many respects the choice of a profession for a character depends on it. The best choice for a warlock is tailoring, because this profession will make it possible to use the “Lightweave Embroidery” spell (+295 strength for 15 seconds). Also, the player will be available cheap patches for pants and a carpet-plane.
Jewelry is a fairly profitable and rewarding profession. Having mastered it, the player will be able to make unique gems, which will add 60 additional units to the power of spells. Also, the warlock jeweler gets huge opportunities in terms of earnings.
Alchemy will give the character the opportunity to create stronger potions with maximum duration and effectiveness. More specifically, the hero will gain +37 potion power, and the duration of all potions and elixirs will double. Another advantage of this profession is the ability to create jars that are useful when traveling around the world of WoW. The alchemist warlock receives many bonuses, plus huge earning opportunities. It’s best to do this together with herbalism, which will add the spell Blood of the Earth, restoring 2 thousand units of life within 5 seconds.
What else is worth doing?
Another useful thing is enchanting. Possession of this profession will give the warlock good advantages. Enchanting both rings, the hero gains +38 points to spell power. Another advantage of this lesson is the ability to earn more gold, because most charmers take a lot of money for their services. You can also always spray an enchanted item and sell its ingredients at the World of Warcraft auction. Enchanting warlocks will become even more powerful if they choose the right profession.
It is very useful to engage in enchantment with the mark. This case will give an increase in curse power of 32 units, which in itself is not bad. You can also create the most powerful enchantments for the shoulder pads. Leveling up the reputation in the Sons of Khodir faction will give a critical strike gain of 15 units. The spell power will also increase (+25). Inscription is quite simple to pump, having a second profession, herbalism. But before you use expensive materials at the highest levels, you should make sure that you use the best recipes. The Book of Knowledge of Symbols will help in this.
Useless professions
Engineering will allow you to create a variety of items from grenades to any accessories. But since engineering does not give any bonus to damage, doing it does not make much sense. Blacksmithing will allow you to create additional slots for gems, which will give an increase in spell power equal to 46 units. But the warlock should not become a blacksmith, because the hero will not be able to use any created item. Mining will give +500 health and +50 stamina), which is not so impressive. Taking this profession is best paired with jewelry and blacksmithing, as well as engineering. Skinning will only be useful for the Warlock Destroyer, as this profession increases the critical strike rating by 32.
