Warlock: Class Starter

Warlock is the dark caster: demons, curses, and damage that ramps rather than bursts. Three pure damage specs with very different flavors — rot, armies, and raw destruction.

The specializations

• Affliction — damage-over-time rot: many curses and drains ticking at once.
• Demonology — a demonic commander: floods the field with temporary demons.
• Destruction — direct fire and chaos: the burst-heaviest of the three.

Signature utility

Healthstones are free potions for the group; Soulstone is a battle resurrection that can be placed before a death; Demonic Gateway moves the whole party across terrain; and summoning brings latecomers straight to the raid.

Who enjoys Warlock

Players who like pressure and setup over reflexes. Warlocks feel sturdy for a cloth class, and their utility is the kind groups plan around — a Gateway or Soulstone changes how a fight is approached.

For current talent builds and spec detail, the class Discords and Wowhead/Icy Veins guides are the crew's recommended deep-dive.
