Warlock PvP Builds
Having an invincible Warlock PvP Build is really impossible considering the armor problems with wearing cloth. Then again, if you have your Toon with the proper specs you can overcome this most of the time. Today we’re going to give you a little help on your talent trees. Hopefully these combinations can help you when taking on other players.
The Affliction Tree
Most Warlocks end up using the Affliction Talent Tree first because it’s a great help during the lower levels of play. Anyone who loves the Corruption or Curse of Agony spells can enjoy a lot of help from this tree. It will allow them to cast faster, cause more damage (10% on Corruption & Agony), and even help with a little critical strike every now and again.
Other areas of importance will surround Drain Soul, Drain Life, Life Tap, and even your Fear or Howl of Terror casts. Even the Nightfall help is great for your Shadow Bolt. Having this will alleviate your Glyph of Corruption and allow you to utilize another tool you might find more helpful. If you reach the end of the tree you will see the Haunt spell that deals damage and increases other Affliction spells. Plus you’ll gain health back for the total amount of damage done.
The Demonology Tree
After listening to the few Warlocks that run around World of Warcraft, I think many of them are a little naive when it comes to the Demonology Tree. As you work your way towards the bottom of the tree you will want to have the Metamorphosis spell. This transforms your Warlock into a Demon that gains 600% of your total armor, and has spells that are virtually untouchable.
You will also find yourself able to summon a Felguard which is a great tanking minion and much better than the Voidwalker. In all the Demonology Tree helps both you and your pet, but takes away from the speed and possible damage of Affliction spells. However, you will find out that your death totals will decrease in a big way. We recommend those with more experience to build this tree up.
The Destruction Tree
If you love fire spells, then take a stab at the Destruction Tree. It can make your Immolate, Searing Pain and other spells decrease threat, gain more damage, and add additional abilities throughout the game. Those who enjoy Imps can gain a substantial amount of extra strength once you hit the hit 40 points on this talent tree. It’s called Empowered Imp and it increases his or her damage by 5% and it can also increase your crit hit ratings.
When you have maxed out this tree with various points, be sure to grab the last ability which will need 50 points in your tree. It’s the Chaos Bolt and you will need it against certain PvP players. See, it pierces through any absorbing shield and that in itself is worth having. Adding the 600-800 damage it usually hurls is essential for battlegrounds and arenas.
Mixing it Up
Since you’re going to be able to reach the end points of each tree with some talents left over, you need to figure out the best mix for you. For instance, those who max the Demonology tree will want to work on some Affliction areas as well. Getting your Shadow Bolt and Corruption times and totals to the best points will help during battle. There are many more scenarios, but you probably get the idea. Now it’s time to put them into action.

I’ve been tossing around a similar idea myself. I haven’t done a lot of research but from what I’ve seen from in-game chat a lot of the enchants and things low level PvPers were using have been removed from the game. I wonder how that’s affecting the scene.

Hopefully for the better. That will lessen the insane amount of health and burst damage that flooded the twink scene. I had a lvl 39 twink priest for the longest time. Healing in BG’s at that level was fun, until the new patch. Then damage just got out of hand, so I stopped pvping and just started lvling again.

You know, I have a level 24 warlock that I haven’t played, let alone logged into for almost 2 years. After reading this little breakdown of the trees, makes me want to play him again. maybe i’ll get him up to 29 and twink him.
