    WoW Forever Warlock talents at a glance

    Warlocks have 52 talents, two more than in Classic, but only two are unchanged: 17 are new and 30 changed. Fifteen Classic talents are gone, more than for any other class, among them Dark Pact, Devastation and the healthstone, firestone and spellstone upgrades.

    The 31-point talents are the new Wrack for Affliction, the new Demonic Pact for Demonology and the new Incinerate for Destruction. The 16-point talents are Curse of Exhaustion, Fel Domination and Conflagrate.

    Beta build 1.60.1.70425 removed Malediction from Affliction and brought back Grim Reach, which extends the range of Affliction spells by up to 20%, the same as Destructive Reach does for Destruction. Amplify Curse and Shadow Mastery also have new wording.

    Affliction

    An Affliction Warlock in WoW Forever spends most points in this tree. Affliction is built around damage over time and drains. Pandemic adds critical damage to Corruption, Banes and drains, Improved Drains strengthens Drain Life, Drain Soul and Wrack, Soul Harvest restores mana after a Drain Soul kill, and Wrack is a new 31-point channeled spell that deals Shadow damage every second and makes the target take more damage from your other Shadow damage over time.

    Demonology

    A WoW Forever Demonology Warlock spends most points in this tree. Demonology favors keeping your pet out. Demonic Knowledge adds spell damage while a demon is active, Demonic Energies heals your pet and shares Life Tap mana, Demonic Brand turns Searing Pain into extra pet attacks, and Demonic Pact keeps your Demonic Sacrifice effect when you summon a different demon. Demonic Sacrifice itself now swaps the Imp and Succubus bonuses compared with Classic.

    Destruction

    A WoW Forever Destruction Warlock spends most points in this tree. Destruction gains Incinerate, which hits harder on targets with your Immolate, Fire and Brimstone for Conflagrate critical strikes, Shadow and Flame, which links Conflagrate and Shadowburn to Shadow and Fire damage, Bane of Havoc, which copies part of your damage to a second target, and Molten Skin for damage reduction.

    Save and share a WoW Forever Warlock build

    Every point you spend is written to the page address, so a WoW Forever Warlock build is saved the moment you make it. Copy the build link to post it in your guild chat or a guide; opening it restores the same points, level and Legacy Talented rank. Your last Warlock build also stays in this browser, and the Legacy talents planner works the same way for your account perks.
