Tailoring, a seemingly mediocre PvE profession, gives you access to a powerful Bind on Pickup Robe - Robe of the Void which is a pre-Raid BiS that is great during phase Phase 1 and stays competitive in Phase 2.

The fact that Engineering is also considered the best PvP profession is an added benefit to its power in PvE environment. Moreover, Engi gadgets come in handy in many back-to-the-wall situations. Engineering gives you access to powerful explosives that increase your AoE and Single-Target DPS. There are two professions that make a real impact in Raids and they are Engineering and Tailoring (Alchemy is also a decent option, but you can buy Flasks, Elixirs, and Potions from other players, which makes it much less impactful). Engineering Specialization is surprisingly valuable because Engi is a go-to PvE profession, and Escape Artist will allow you to escape death from AoE damage from time to time.īoth Horde Races that can choose the path of a Warlock are pretty much equally good for PvE, so the choice is purely up to one's preference. If you want to have some more utility in a form of Cannibalize and Will of the Forsaken, go for Undead. If you want to pursue DPS at all costs, Orc will be the best choice for you, thanks to his Pet Damage increasing Racial (this will not matter if you pick the DS/Ruin Build, however). This makes Gnome the best choice if you want to capitalize on every minor advantage available. His Intellect Racial is very strong as it provides additional Mana and Spell Critical Strike Chance. Human racials do not boost Warlock's PvE capabilities at all. If you'd like to know more about other race picks, please check our WoW Classic Beginners Guide, where we dive deep into all available Mage's race choices for both factions. Note: Here, we will point you only towards the best PvE DPS Warlock Race. Good survivability (that, however, is somewhat Build-dependant)Ĭompetition for Cloth Caster Gear tends to be very high Pets tend to die from AoE Damage during encounters (this will not matter if you pick a proper build, however) Managing Threat as a Warlock is challenging Soul Shard mechanic forces you to grind more than other Classes have to. Good Single-Target and AoE DPS (for a caster, at least) They also provide various powerful debuffs that come in handy in a multitude of situations. Moreover, they don't have any Sustain problems, thanks to their Life Tap ability which allows them to perform at the highest level even during long encounters. Contrary to what their lore background might suggest, Warlocks are best friends of any Player that likes to run through any kind of group content.


When in a Raid or a Dungeon group, Warlocks provide Soulstones that allow an in-Combat resurrection of a pre-designated party member, Healthstones that work like Health Potions, and the Ritual of Summoning that makes assembling a Raid much, much easier. Their second main limitation - the fact that pets take 100% damage from AoE abilities, is countered by the most popular Warlock DPS build, that sacrifices a pet in exchange for increased Shadow Damage. Despite that limitation, they are still very popular as a Class thanks to their grim flavor, great utility spells, and the ability to humiliate inexperienced enemies in PvP. In WoW Classic, they are versatile Damage Dealers who suffer a bit from limited debuff slots. They are masters of the Shadow and Destructive magic and can bind powerful demons to their will. In WoW lore, Warlocks derive pleasure from cursing and hurting their enemies.
