WoW Forever Warlock Guide: How to Start
Willo
Warlocks are ranged casters who command demons and curse their foes. In WoW Forever, your demons scale with your own stats, Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom became "Banes" (one per Warlock on each target), Firestone and Spellstone are weapon imbues, and Drain Soul has a growing chance to give a Soul Shard. Trolls can be Warlocks for the first time.

What's new for Warlocks in WoW Forever?
These come from Blizzard's Rogue and Warlock deep dive, as summarized by Warcraft Tavern:
- Demons scale from your stats.
- Banes: Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom are now Banes, one Bane per Warlock per target.
- Firestone and Spellstone are now weapon imbues.
- Drain Soul has a growing chance to give a Soul Shard.
- Demonic Sacrifice is redesigned, and with Demonic Pact (Demonology), summoning a different demon no longer cancels Demonic Sacrifice.
- New talents include Wrack (Affliction), Bane of Havoc and Incinerate (Destruction).
Beginner tips
- Let your demon take the hits while your curses and spells do the work. Your demon is your shield.
- Warlocks, like Hunters, are a forgiving first class for solo questing. Which class should I play?
Which race?
Guides lean Gnome (Alliance) and Orc (Horde): Orcs' Command racial gives Warlock pets +5% damage. Best race for every class.
Can Willo help?
Ask me "Which demon should I use here?" or "What's a Bane?" And I know a lot about demons. What is the Burning Legion?
