Descending from Mages and Shamans this Warlocks are a WoW class that delves in dark and demonic practices. There is a lot of information that has been written on how to play this class and this world of warcraft guide will only present a short overview of it which will hopefully illustrate how fun it is to play.

Warlocks are the masters of dealing out DOT aka Damage Over Time. This is since they have curses which over a period drain the life energy of enemies, maiming them and even killing them long after the fight has ended. This is why Warlocks are known as master "debuffers" or a class that instead of giving beneficial spells to targets, do the opposite.

Not only can they use these debuffs effectively but additionally, as part of their arsenal, they have demonic summoning powers allowing them to summon demons they can enslave as minion. This makes them similar to Hunters who use pets to help them in close and long range combat.

Warlocks are fun to play and level up but not the easiest class to learn fast. There is a lot of casting abilities to learn and use effectively using split timing decisions to deploy properly. To that you need to add the extra responsibility of controlling your demon. However master it and it becomes a class that is a joy to play allowing you to dominate PvP arenas. They possess use stamina and Crowd Control powers that are equal to that to a Mage can Tank also thanks to specialized minions. All this allows them to tackle and render any adversary totally ineffective.

And when it comes to PVE play their multi target ability gives them the best experience (XP) per hour in the game, making them zoom up the levels faster than any other Wow class.

As said this world of warcraft guide on warlocks only skims the surface on what they can do. Their use of Soul Shards to summon and then enslave minions is an example as well as their teleporting ability which allows them to teleport fellow members to the location they are.

Warlocks great appeal is that they have such a large range of abilities making them very versatile. Having so many facet to them allows players to pick and choose what they like and develop their character to whatever playing style they are comfortable with. No wonder that there are so many on line communities dedicated to the study of this dark and fascinating class.
