WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER · TALENT TREES
Warlock Talents
Every talent compared with Classic: gold border = new, blue = changed, purple = moved, grey = unchanged. Click a talent for rank-by-rank tooltips and the Classic text.
Warlocks have the most new talents of any class — 19 — and every tree ends somewhere new: Drain Hope (Affliction), Demonic Pact (Demonology), Incinerate (Destruction). Affliction's Pandemic, Malevolence and Soul Siphon build a DoT tree around drains; Demonology's Decimation and Demonic Knowledge lean into the pet; Destruction's Fire and Brimstone and Shadow and Flame set up the Incinerate capstone.
Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom are Banes now (Bane of Agony, Bane of Doom), Enslave Demon is Subjugate Demon, and the Incubus is its own summon alongside the Succubus. One Tier 1 set, Demonheart Raiment, for all specs; its 5-piece makes Life Tap return 20% more mana. Troll Warlocks are new on the beta roster.

Tears the target apart from within, dealing 36 Shadow damage every 1 sec and increasing the damage they take from your other Shadow damage over time effects by 10%. Lasts 6 sec.
Demonology 7
Increases the effectiveness of your Demon Skin and Demon Armor spells by 15%.
You heal your pet for 8% of all spell damage you deal. When you gain Mana from Life Tap, your summoned demon gains 50% of the Mana you gain.
Reduces the cooldown of your Soul Fire spell by 45%. When you cast Shadow Bolt or Searing Pain on an enemy below 35% health, they deal 3% increased damage, and for the next 10 sec your Soul Fire spell has its cast time reduced by 20% and costs no Soul Shards.
Your Searing Pain generates 17% less threat and brands the target for 10 sec. Your pet's next 2 attacks against the target generate high threat and deal 65 to 68 Fire or Shadow damage based on the pet.
Increases the Attack Power reduction of your Felhunter's Tainted Blood, the healing of its Devour Magic, and the detection level of its Paranoia by 10%, and reduces the cooldown of its Spell Lock by 2 sec.
Increases your spell damage and your Demon pet's spell damage by up to 33% of your level while you have a summoned Demon pet active.
Your Demonic Sacrifice effect is no longer cancelled by summoning a different Demon pet. Resummoning the sacrificed pet will still cancel the effect.
Destruction 5
Reduces all damage taken by 2%.
Afflicts the target for 5 min, causing 15% of all damage done by the Warlock to other targets to also be dealt to the cursed target. Bane of Havoc is limited to 1 target, and only one Bane per Warlock can be active on any one target.
Increases the critical strike chance of your Conflagrate spell by 8%.
Hitting an enemy with Conflagrate increases all Shadow damage you deal by 2% for 20 sec, and hitting an enemy with Shadowburn increases all Fire damage you deal by 2% for 20 sec. In addition, Conflagrate has a 20% chance not to consume Immolate, and Shadowburn has a 20% chance to instantly refund a Soul Shard.
