Full rank descriptions remain available in the reference.

Affliction

17 talents. Browse all Affliction ranks.

Amplify Curse

Increases the effect of your next Curse of Weakness or Bane of Agony by 50%, or your next Curse of Exhaustion by 20%. Lasts 30 sec.

Curse of Exhaustion

Reduces the target's movement speed by 30% for 12 sec. Only one Curse per Warlock can be active on any one target.

Siphon Life

Transfers 11 health from the target to the caster every 3 sec. Lasts 30 sec.

Wrack

Tears the target apart from within, inflicting 36 Shadow damage every 1 sec and increasing the damage they take from your other Shadow damage over time effects by 10% for 6 sec.

Demonology

19 talents. Browse all Demonology ranks.

Demonic Sacrifice

When activated, sacrifices your summoned Demon to enhance the opposing aspect of your power, granting you an effect that lasts 2 hr. The effect is canceled if any Demon is summoned. Imp: Increases your Shadow damage by 15%. Voidwalker: Restores 2% of your total Mana every 4 sec. Succubus/Incubus: Increases your Fire damage by 15%. Felhunter: Restores 3% of your total Health every 4 sec.

Fel Domination

Your next Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Incubus, or Felhunter Summon spell has its casting time reduced by 5.5 sec and its Mana cost reduced by 50%.

Soul Link

When active, 30% of all damage taken by the caster is taken by your Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Incubus, or Felhunter Demon instead. In addition, both the Demon and the master will inflict 3% more damage. Lasts as long as the Demon is active.

Demonic Pact

Your Demonic Sacrifice effect is no longer cancelled by summoning a different Demon pet. Resummoning the sacrificed pet will still cancel the effect.

Destruction

16 talents. Browse all Destruction ranks.

Shadowburn

Instantly blasts the target for 65 to 74 Shadow damage. If a non-trivial target dies within 8 sec of being hit with Shadowburn, the caster gains a Soul Shard.

Conflagrate

Ignites a target that is already afflicted by your Immolate spell, dealing 88 to 111 Fire damage and consuming your Immolate effect.

Bane of Havoc

Afflicts the target for 5 min, causing 15% of all damage done by the Warlock to other targets to also be dealt to the cursed target. Bane of Havoc is limited to 1 target, and only one Bane per Warlock can be active on any one target.

Incinerate

Deals 100 to 114 Fire damage to your target and an additional 25% damage if the target is afflicted by Immolate.

Point commitments

Rows require five points per preceding row in the same tree. A row-seven talent therefore needs 30 earlier points, plus the point spent on that talent. A 31-point main tree leaves 20 points from the level-60 budget for other choices. Named prerequisites must also be fully ranked.

Changes since September 26

New names: Grim Reach, Soul Harvest.

Names absent from the latest import: Malediction, Soul Harvesting.

Names alone do not describe tuning. Review an old build for exact rank, position, condition and tooltip changes.

Warlock talent FAQ

Which Warlock data version does this page use?

Our November 3 revision combines the November 2 client export with Blizzard’s later launch notes. Supplied ranks include client tooltips and patch-note summaries. Exact new values absent from the notes are identified as unspecified. Old builds require review before migration.

Is this an official WoW Forever calculator?

No. Forever Talents is an independent fan tool using attributed community beta records. It is not affiliated with Blizzard.

Why is a talent locked?

The planner requires five points per earlier row and maximum ranks in any named prerequisite. Points in another tree do not unlock this tree. These are the planner’s current model rules.

Does this tell me the best build?

No. It helps organize an allocation, not simulate damage or rank builds. Beta values may change. A valid allocation does not simulate talent interactions or prove a build is strongest.

Where are my saved builds?
