Warlock, in the World of Warcraft becomes more and more powerful. It possesses the powerful and unique ability to take control of the summoned demons. Warlocks have made use of the magic of power and learned to use it for their will.
   As for Warlocks, their biggest weapon is the damage over time, DOT for short. In most cases, damage over time ability is casted as quickly as possible. They don't hit as hard as the spells from other magical classes but linger on their opponent, slowly and surely sucking the life from them. A brief encounter will result in a steady loss of life and crippling loss of control. If you live to witness more, the Warlock may introduce you to their demon for more torture.
   Using the talents in game, the Warlock class can be customized by several "flavors". These talent schools will help you to tailor your weakness and strength for your play style. It is likely to say that the combinations are possible. The talents consist of Affliction, Demonology and Destruction. While all schools enhance the damage and survivability, each one focuses on a different aspect of the Warlock. The Affliction talents improve on the power of the damage over time spells. The Demonology talents strengthen the demons the Warlock summons and the destruction talents improve and enhance the hard hitting shadow and fire spells. All of these flavors or specialties are capable of quick leveling, high group damage output and excellent damage and survivability in player versus player combat. The main thing for you is to discover your favorite.
   Be a warlock, both the Horde and Alliance players have certain roles. For Horde players you must be Undead, Orc, or Blood Elf. Alliance players choose between Gnome and Human. You may only wear cloth armor but have several weapon choices including; Daggers, Swords, wands, Staves. Some of the weapons you will not know how to use without first visiting a Weapon Trainer available at major cities.
   It is a fun to play a Warlock. Their spells and power allow them to handle the most difficult of tasks alone, making the Warlock one of the faster leveling classes in game. Once they are able to summon a demon as early as level ten they have a great advantage to tackle what most classes can not, which also contributes to the fact that most Warlock players tend to be loners. Don't let that fool you into thinking they do not perform well in a group. It is quite the opposite; the Warlock brings many group benefits and specializes in creation with their summoning ability in group.
   In player versus player combat, Fear is their most feared spell. It can be casts against enemies and will cause the enemy to flee for a short duration of time. During the fear, the enemy has no control over their actions and any damage over time spells applied by the Warlock will continue to harm the target. The combination of fear and damage overtime spells can destroy an enemy player before they are ever in range to counter attack making the warlock one of the most deadly players in the field of battle.
   When grouped, the Warlocks can provide damage and benefits. The benefit is their ability to summon or bring other players directly to the location of the group. When a new member joins the group or a current member becomes separated, this comes in handy. And also they can create a soul well, which allows each group member to receive a health stone allowing the players to quickly restore health when needed.
