QUESTIONS
Warlock talent FAQ
Rules, data provenance and what Forever changed for your class. More on the Data Sources page.
How many talent points does a Warlock get in WoW Forever? +
Like every class: one point per level from 10, for 51 points at level 60. Tree tiers unlock at level 10 + 5 per row and need 5 points per row already spent in that tree.
What is new for Warlock in WoW Forever compared to Classic? +
The live trees carry 17 brand-new Warlock talents (Soul Harvest, Improved Drains, Pandemic, Malevolence, …), 30 changed, 3 moved and 2 unchanged across your Affliction / Demonology / Destruction trees, plus 15 Classic talents retired from the trees. See the change list above for details.
Do Warlock talent rules change in WoW Forever? +
The framework is pure Classic: 51 points, tier gates at 5 points per row, prerequisites must be filled before points go in, and dependent talents block removal. This calculator enforces all of it.
Where does this Warlock talent data come from? +
Extracted from the WoW Forever client (build 1.60.1.70755), with the tree layout synced against the live client export, and diffed against Classic Era (build 1.15.9.69722). Values shown are rank-1 live values. Details and known gaps on the Data Sources page.
What is the Warlock rotation in WoW Forever? +
Affliction keeps Corruption and Bane of Agony rolling and fills with Shadow Bolt; Destruction opens with Immolate into Incinerate and Conflagrate; Demonology manages Life Tap so the damage never lapses. The priorities follow the live talent trees, not sims — the full per-class pages are rolling out class by class. WoW Forever rotation guide
