The ULTIMATE classic warlock leveling guide!!!

[@TheShalestorm]

PLEASE NOTE 6:37 This macro is completely useless. Your pet can still land the final blow, and improved drain soul will still proc

[@Stinkfist616]

useful stuff, when i was making this video I only had private servers to go by

[@TheShalestorm]

@@Stinkfist616 I absolutely loved the rest of the video.

[@killval849]

THANK YOU I always wondered why on earth people thought that the killing blow took away the ability to earn a shard or proc imp drain soul. It literally has never done that for me.

[@runemichaeljensen]

@@killval849 It does not proc on live classic WoW unless you get killing blow. You can get shards, sure. But not imp drain soul proc.

[@TheShalestorm]

@@runemichaeljensen false, beta tested it with a team. feel free to join the official warlock classic Discord server. Me as well as many others with Early access tested specifically things such as this to see how close everything was to private serverr :) i encourage you to try it yourself, take a video, and by some miracle proce me wrong. So long as YOU or YOUR PET get the killing blow Youre good and IDS will proc :D have a good one, and good luck discrediting me ^_^

[@swisschaesar2701]

Funny and insightful. First time playing wow is wow classic as undead warlock. Loving it

[@aotbeatz263]

voidwalker was good on private servers, on classic it looses aggro after 2-3 spells even with the improved skilling

[@MiguelMiranda-kx8so]

Honestly I like going succubus all the time, deals more damage and sometimes even holds aggro for a good amount of time if u let her open on the mob. Also very useful when you are on a pvp server, she can help you win skirmishes in the open world or allow you the oportunity to scape a gank, do not understimate seduction.

[@MP-yg5cd]

@@MiguelMiranda-kx8so Agreed, I think a lot of us researching our classes are unknowingly pulling a lot of information from private servers. VW was a blessing in very early levels, got dicey in late 20's early 30's, and after that it is effectively useless, can't even put a full dot rotation on without almost immediately pulling aggro and that was with improved VW. I also just started using Succ and letting her get the first whack, honestly holds aggro better than VW and has utility while dealing about the damage of another DoT. In hindsight I would highly recommend anyone leveling a lock to just completely ignore demonology and get the essentials from affliction first and then go straight to ruin and work towards DS or MS ruin, ruin is great once you hit the mid levels and the OPness of wands really starts to drop down to just being tickles so now you have a beefy SB

[@johnwayne8283]

I Start casting immolate as soon as the void walker gets close and cast its torment every time it refreshes while I either cast shadow bolt or use my wand usually if I do pull aggro it’s around the time the mob dies

[@alicestack1005]

Really really helpful. Started leveling just a tad faster once I watched how you were pulling, even at a really low level. Appreciate it! Might be rerolling from mage, which sucks considering I got to 42. Oh well, right?

[@Stinkfist616]

comments like this really make my day! also one thing you should consider: the warlock is much more engaging and fun to play when leveling compared to the mages monotonous one button spam and then drinking plight. but if you do roll mage, check out my mage guide so you dont lose your mind. :)

[@Wintergin]

This video deserves more views. Then again, I know dem warlock secrets now and not all the other filthy plebs :D

[@veganchris2923]

Yeah, this is maybe ok for private servers. But even then doesn’t go over drain tanking with a succubus. Which is what I’m doing. VW sucks on classic. I keep pulling aggro from it. I only pull it out for multiple mob tanking.

[@HB23000]

Dude....it was so easy for me to hit subscribe the second i heard Electric Wizard playing. cheers lol

[@relaist]

Dunno about this guide.. Drain tanking is clearly the most powerful build for leveling, especially with rank4+ drain life you become a machine

[@longhaul80]

Yep. And the VW is pointless. Use the imp.

[@lolynot2]

you only need 3/5 suppression for leveling, since it's not efficient to try and kill mobs that are more than 3 levels higher than you imp COA is wasted talent, since it doesn't do the higher damage until the last seconds. your mob dies before those higher damage ticks come in. 2/3 improved voidwalker won't do much. even at 3/3 your vw would still lose aggro, especially in classic since the threat is different vs private servers

[@Stinkfist616]

well I dont think I advise going supression all the way, I mentioned that the very core build is only getting 22 or so key talents in affliction. Still the way I pull at later levels my dots do run their full course. But I was trying to imply that every warlock will have his own way of doing things, and this is what I believe to be the most efficient

[@trickpa80]

Great guide Stinkfist

[@britneyspheres7yearsago11]

Honestly, it’s just worth to play a Warlock just for the improved drain soul mana regen mechanics

[@tommytatt]

Nice guide. I found something new and something interesting.

[@Stinkfist616]

thank you for this wholesome comment :D

[@mitchconner2021]

Teach me the tryhard ways master Chad.

[@Stinkfist616]

yesss

[@bvyner5727]

Good Vid...informative

[@Thusad]

Warlock seems like the underdog class this time around

[@olishonick]

Lock is one of the best pvp classes just because of spam fear. Also starting at phase 3 one of the top dps. Aswell as one of the best solo lvlers if not arguably THE best. What are you talking about.

I'm actually living in Staines... where Ali G is from :D

what addons do you use middle top so you can see dots time?

[@Stinkfist616]

this was filmed on a private server and i unfortunately dont have these installed anymore :(

[@OnlinePez]

Warlock is not your main is it?

[@Stinkfist616]

it used to be, and the video is date due to the various changes compared to private servers, still hope i shared something useful

[@TheBlaBlaThing]

You sound like Ali G

[@neilyoung4525]

Get to the chopper!

[@Jules72Bear]

i stopped watching when you suggest going 2/5 suppression and 3/5 imp. corruption. Nice meme post gj almost got me.

[@ChosseRogue]

what is bad on 2/5 suppression and 3/5 corruption ?

[@blenderforall9912]

@@ChosseRogue 5 on each or bust. Honestly, you're always going to need the PVP utility of the instant cast corruption. unless you roll on PVE like a scrub. PLUS suppresion helps you kick the shit out of dungeon mobs

[@ChosseRogue]

@@blenderforall9912 Yes I go 5/5 both, but first, i go 2/5 and 3/5 to get life tap and then back to supression and corruption

At 16:09 You are showing the face of a Japanese warrior. I must tell with sadness to all of you guys that, the Japanese warrior is currently crippled from the neck and down can't move anything only his face... He is a great man and a great fighting spirit...

I feel like this guide was made by somebody who's never levelled more than one char and they weren't a lock lol.
