They may use only wands, swords (some), staves, and daggers for weapons.
Learn from this WoW warlock guide how warlocks are adept necromancers that specialize in anguish and torment. Though warlocks can’t stand toe to toe in a melee fight, they easily compensate for it by casting devastating spells from a reasonable distance.
Several of a warlock’s spells make use of soul shards which must be collected from fallen mobs. Warlocks are quite possibly the fastest leveling class especially when soloing.
In a group, warlocks are often the top damage dealers.
There are several demonic minions a warlock can summon including the Felguard, Doomguard, Infernal, Felhunter, Succubus, Voidwalker, and Imp. Every minion has unique benefits that you can exploit.
Warlocks primarily use damage over time (DoT) and DD (direct damage) spells, but also possess several specialty spells which are useful such as conjuring Soul Stones. They can even conjure up various items and resurrect fallen players by expending soul shards.
The Affliction talent specialization relies heavily on curses, damage over time spells, and drains. When farming and raiding, this is an excellent talent tree to take. Affliction is the way to go when you want to power level your warlock as quickly as possible.
The Demonology talent tree specialization concentrates mainly on summoning spells and additional benefits for your demons that make them robust and more deadly. For player versus player, Demonology is a really good talent tree. For power leveling, it’s almost as good as Affliction. When you want to create the most powerful minions, Demonology is the spec to go with.
Destruction talents focus on improving most shadow and fire spells thereby making the warlock a powerful direct damage dealer. With Destruction, it is all about the high DPS and huge critical strikes. This talent tree is cumbersome to use at low level and is most often used once players hit higher levels. Although you can cause really good damage, there are some downsides to this spec that need to be considered. You’ll require a whole lot of soul shards, you’ll go through mana really fast, and soloing will be incredibly tough. On the flip side, it can be a lot of fun.
