The biggest weapon in the WoW Warlock’s arsenal is their damage over time spells or DOTS as they are known and feared. Damage over time abilities are quickly casted, instantly in most cases. They do not 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 with a Warlock 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.

The WOW Warlock Class can be customized by several flavors by using the in game talents. These talent schools will allow you to tailor your strengths and weaknesses to your play style. While many combinations are possible, the talents are broken into three main categories: Affliction, Demonology and Destruction. While all schools enhance the damage and survivability, each one focuses on a different aspect of the WoW Warlock. The Affliction talents improve on the power of the damage over time spells. The Demonology talents strengthen the demons the WoW 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 fun part is discovering your favorite.
