WoW Warlock Guide

The Warlock class is unique in many ways in World of Warcraft. They are masters of dark magic and have unique, all be it horrific, ways of dispatching enemies.  In the WoW Warlock guide we’ll look into some of their abilities, strengths, weaknesses and attributes.

Warlocks use dark fel magic such as Shadow and Fire magic to not just destroy enemies but cause as much pain as possible. Enemies won’t die quickly with these powers but their level of suffering will be unmatched. Their magic however isn’t just good for killing enemies. They also have spells to protect their allies in battle, and even use portals to  call other players from across the world.

One major strength and challenge that you’ll see as a Warlock is the ability to summon and control minions. This however is also a challenge, because you’ll need to be able to not only engage multiple targets but do so while keeping control of your minion.

The first minion you'll be able to summon is the Imp, which will not only increase your damage but help you survive better as well. Voidwalker is available at level 10 and is great for tanking. These are just two of the minions that are available as you level up.

Another ability of the Warlock is their ability to create Healthstones. These, when consumed by party members, will heal life. Speaking of party members, Warlocks can use Ritual of Summoning to summon other players through portals from across the world.

One other advantage that Warlocks have over most other classes, with the exception of a few, is their ability to summon a demon mount. These usually require other classes to purchase them with gold. The Felsteed can be gotten at level 30, and the Dreadsteed at level 60.

The last special ability that I’ll mention in this WoW Warlock guide is that they can restore their own health by draining the life of another opponent. However there are two disadvantages that they have when dealing with opponents. One is that they can only wear cloth armor. Second is that they have little Melee capability.

Another challenge faced by Warlocks is creating and using Soul Shards. Soul Shards are created using the Drain Soul spell on a dying target. Many of your spells that I’ve talked about earlier include the summoning of minions, other players, Healthstones and others rely on the Soul Shards.

Warlocks don’t have much healing power at all. They can heal themselves to an extent and using a Soulstone can resurrect another player before they die.

Two of the most common professions of the Warlock are Tailoring and Enchanting. However for those Warlocks who’ll be doing a lot of PvP choosing Mining will make you tough and Herbalism will allow you to heal yourself better with Lifeblood.

Definitely check out the WoW Warlock Guide that you’ll find at The Ultimate WoW Guide. It’ll show you exactly how to gear and what talent builds are best for the Warlock class. The guide is currently up to date for Call of the Crusade and include free updates.
