Warlock Leveling Talent Build Guide Using Affliction & Destruction for 1-80 WotLK

Warlock Level Guide

Warlock Level Guide

Welcome Warlocks!  To the 1-80 Leveling spec talent tree guide for heavy Affliction Talent build with a little Destruction added in there as well.  This build is good for PVP as it has high dps, but very good for PVE as it is high in mana conservation…   We use drain life over shadow bolt as it conserves way more mana, this accounts for higher dps output the longer a fight goes.  We also put full talent points into Eradication and Death’s Embrace for added DPS.  Also remember to try to drink and eat as little as possible over time as this slows down leveling times.  You can play your Warlock how you want, but try to experiment spell combos that allow you to kill and move on to the next monster with as little down time as possible.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

The Spell combo you want to use is:   Haunt –> Siphon Life –> CoA/CoE –> Corruption –> Unstable –> Haunt again –> Immolate. Drain life until you get Nightfall and then repeat. Keep unstable, Corruption, and CoA cast at all times, as they are your top daWarlock dealers, along with Haunt.  Experiment with your own paying style to increase killing over time.

Here is the Level by Level Talent Guide for your Warlock: If you want to level up your Warlock Faster you MUST check out this guide.

If you are having trouble leveling your Warlock I highly suggest you check out Zygor’s Leveling Guide because it has a perfect Warlock leveling path that gets you to 80 faster and easier than any other way.  No matter what level you are, you load the thing and it points with an arrow the direction to each monster, quest giver, trainer etc.  Its pretty crazy.  It also has an in game box that tells you exactly what to do, like kill 5 boars, run west 10 miles, etc.  You can find out more here or check out the review.

    I found that using Glyph of Corruption saves two talent points in Nightfall. These could be spent otherwise :)

    Other than that, great build!

  2. Jakki Says:

    Well, using Nightfall + Corruption glyph gives 8% chance of giving instant SB so I tend to use both.

  3. Keithzar Says:

    theres one problem with the spell combo, siphon life is a passive now

  4. Sham Says:

    Destruction (10 points)

    69 1/5 Improved Shadow Bolt
    70 2/5 Improved Shadow Bolt
    71 3/5 Improved Shadow Bolt
    72 4/5 Improved Shadow Bolt
    73 5/5 Improved Shadow Bolt
    74 1/3 Molten Core
    75 2/3 Molten Core

    Molten Core is a Demonology Talent, not Destruction

  5. Jordan Says:

    He means Molten skin

  6. Arachnus Says:

  7. Cristina Jolundro Says:

  8. Donald Says:
