World of Warcraft Warlock Guide

Warlock - The Demonologist

A Warlock is connected with the underworld. Using both Fire and Shadow damage based spells and Demonic pets, the Warlock class is a great class to play. The Warlock is known for the nice amount of different Fear spells he can cast, which makes his enemy run around incapable to make any actions. Warlocks are known to be quite annoying in PvP because of this. Besides that they also have a wide variety of damage spells to nuke players and Demon pets with annoying abilities. Basically, you can say that if you like a spell casting class and enjoy PvP, the Warlock is a great solution.

The Warlocks do not only excel at PvP though. Especially since the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, the Warlock can be found on top of the damage meters in many raids. Using a lot of damage over time spells, Shadow Bolts and Fire based attacks; they can do a lot of damage. Their role in raids however is not only dealing damage.

The Warlock is the only class that can summon other players towards him. He does this with a ritual of summoning and needs the assistance of another player to summon somebody from anywhere on the map towards himself. This is very nice especially for Dungeons and Raids because as you venture further into the Dungeon or Raid you will save a lot of time by just summoning a new player if somebody has to be replaced. Instead of waiting for the player to travel there, or running to the meeting stone outside the instance, summoning saves a lot of time.

The Warlocks can also create a Soul stone on themselves or on others. If a player is Soul Stoned he can resurrect on the spot upon death. This is great when cast on players that can resurrect. After everybody dies for example, the person that can resurrect get’s up and resurrects the party or raid.

Another spell the Warlock class can cast is the Summon Health Stone spell. Health Stones restore more health to the player than health potions and they do not share the same cool down, meaning that you can use one of each in every fight. The entire raid or party can obtain a Healthstone from the summoned as well.

The cool aspect of the Warlock is the Demon pets he can summon, he can choose between a Fireball casting, Stamina boosting Imp, the Dispelling and Spell locking Fel Hound, the Seducing and Whipping Succubus, and the Fel Guard that does a lot of damage with his cleaves and is able to Charge. Different pets are better in specific situations, luckily, the Warlocks can choose which one to use at any point and switch freely between them.

The Pets make the Warlock easy to level. Once he reaches his level cap he has a wide variety of spells and abilities that are destructive and can help a raid or party greatly.
