Important Changes to Leveling a Warlock in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch
The Shadowlands Covenant system is not being released in pre-patch, so will not be covered here. Players will not have the opportunity to choose a Covenant until their first character reaches level 60 in Shadowlands.
There is a new tab on your spellbook between General and your talent specialization, simply titled "Warlock". These are abilities that are now shared by all Warlocks, regardless of what specialization they are in.
New Warlocks will not begin in a default spec (Destruction). Until they are allowed to choose a spec at level 10, their abilities are drawn from the general Warlock abilities available to all specializations.
Experienced Warlocks will notice some talents have been reworked or rearranged, and may require re-acquiring some talents.
AoE (Area of Effect) caps are being introduced in the Shadowlands pre-patch, which places a limit on how many targets the ability can hit at once. This affects a couple of warlock abilities.
魔刃风暴
(Demonology, Felguard) - capped to 8 targets
Any AOE Abilities not listed above remain the same as they were cap-wise before the Shadowlands pre-patch.
Affliction Warlocks have received a slight rework that will be active in the Shadowlands pre-patch:
痛苦无常
no longer costs a Soul Shard and can only be applied once to one enemy at a time;
A new Soul Shard spender was added,
灾难狂欢
- Deals damage to all targets within line of sight, based on how many periodic effects they are afflicted with.
Best Warlock Leveling Spec in Shadowlands
For a total beginner to the class, although each specialization has strengths and weaknesses, we recommend Affliction as the best Warlock leveling spec. Affliction is able to damage multiple mobs at a time thanks to its potent dots and
灾难狂欢
and has the easiest time healing themselves with
吸取生命
.
Many players have chosen Destruction as their choice of best Warlock leveling spec. Destruction has an easier time killing a single mob thanks to its bursty abilities like
混乱之箭
, but does have a bit more downtime as you need to generate Soul Shard bits to consistently burst down mobs. If you want to burst mobs down with big numbers, Destruction is a good leveling option.
If you want to control many demons at a time, Demonology may be the specialization for you. Demonology can be considered a bit more complicated to play since you need to consistently weave spells to continue your demon onslaught and takes some time to unload its damage, but the visuals and feel of being a master of demons is really fun!
Choosing a Warlock Specialization
Before level 10 you are just a Warlock with a smattering of Warlock abilities. When you reach level 10 you get to pick a specialization, Affliction, Demonology or Destruction. All three Warlock specs are viable for leveling so if you are coming in with a preference that is just fine.
At level 10 you will select a specialization. You can swap between specializations by opening up the Specialization & Talents tab (or pressing N to open it quickly), choosing the specialization you like, and clicking the Activate button. There is no cost to swapping!
Affliction
: Use
痛楚
,
腐蚀术
and
痛苦无常
to deal periodic damage to targets. Spend Soul Shards on
灾难狂欢
to deal heavy damage to all targets afflicted with DOTs. Use
暗影箭
as a filler when you have no Soul Shards or your DOTs will last for a while. At higher levels, you can spend Soul Shards on abilities like
腐蚀之种
or
邪恶污染
to deal even more periodic damage on multiple targets, or increase the duration of your periodic effects with
召唤黑眼
.
Demonology
: Use
暗影箭
to generate Soul Shards and use them to summon demons to aid you with
古尔丹之手
and
召唤恐惧猎犬
. At higher levels, you can sacrifice Wild Imps summoned with Hand of Gul'dan to deal explosive AOE damage with
内爆
or temporarily empower all your active demons with
召唤恶魔暴君
.
Destruction
: Use
献祭
,
烧尽
and
燃烧
to generate Soul Shard Fragments, and spend them on
混乱之箭
. At higher levels, you can duplicate your spells onto a different target with
浩劫
or generate more Fragments while dealing AOE damage with
召唤地狱火
.
Choosing a Race for Your Warlock in Shadowlands
Choosing your race can be an arduous task, as it defines our character's appearance and is an expensive trait to change. Unlike in the past, Racial Traits don't give players many throughput benefits, most race perks are limited to utility or profession bonuses.
Warlocks can choose many races to be, separated in Default Races and Allied Races:
Default Races
are races that are immediately available to be played when you start your WoW account.
Allied Races
are races that are locked behind certain requirements that need to be met before you can create characters belonging to that race.
Each race has different racial abilities and spells, but no races offer an immediate advantage when compared to others, so you can create your Warlock to be whatever race suits your aesthetic best! Warlocks can choose from the following races (click on the race names to learn more about them!):
Alliance
Default Races:
人类
矮人
侏儒
狼人
Allied Races:
虚空精灵
黑铁矮人
机械侏儒
Horde
Defaults Races:
兽人
亡灵
巨魔
血精灵
地精
Allied Races:
夜之子
狐人
Best Warlock Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
In this section of the guide, we recommend talent selections for leveling in Shadowlands as a Warlock. Please keep in mind that the selections we list below are merely suggestions, and if you want, you can select different talents that can better suit your gameplay style.
Suggested Affliction Warlock Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below will focus on spell interactions with the new powerful spell Affliction Warlocks received in Shadowlands,
灾难狂欢
.
Level 15 Talents:
吸取灵魂
is by far your best talent option for leveling, as it allows you to generate more Soul Shards for more
灾难狂欢
casts.
大难临头
is only really viable when you build a lot of stacks of it, and still deals less damage overall than Drain Soul.
夜幕
can be a very fun talent if you're lucky and receive procs often, but it doesn't feel as great when you go without procs for some time.
Level 25 Talents:
绝对腐蚀
is taken here mostly for convenience, as this turns
腐蚀术
into a permanent spell, which allows you to simply use it once and forget about it until the target is dead.
翻腾痛楚
can be useful for leveling as it allows
痛楚
to start with more stacks, but targets usually don't last that long for Agony to fully ramp up anyway.
生命虹吸
can be taken to further increase the damage of
灾难狂欢
, but be mindful you will need an extra global cooldown to apply Siphon Life per target before you're able to take full advantage of it with Malefic Rapture.
Level 30 Talents:
恶魔皮肤
is the best overall option for this tier on a defensive standpoint, as it not only increases the limit for how much your
灵魂榨取
can absorb, it also allows your Soul Leech to generate itself passively, making you that much more of a tank.
爆燃冲刺
is a viable option if you feel like you need more movement speed, but Burning Rush can be dangerous to use thanks to its health drain.
黑暗契约
is an interesting oh-shit button that sacrifices a portion of your health to grant a shield. However, when it comes to general use, it is less useful than Demon Skin.
Level 35 Talents:
邪恶污染
is a very interesting talent option, as it applies an extra DOT and increases the damage of
灾难狂欢
. This is a strong AOE option, but be mindful, as it does cost a Soul Shard.
腐蚀播种
is not very interesting, as all it really does is increase the damage done by
腐蚀播种
by applying the spell to more targets.
诡异魅影
is an interesting counterpart to Vile Taint, as it has a longer cooldown and does not use a Soul Shard. However, Phantom Singularity only applies its DOT to one target, so it loses effectiveness against Vile Taint the more targets you have.
Level 40 Talents:
死亡缠绕
is a nice mix of defensive and control abilities - It disorients a target for 3 seconds and heals you in the process. It is the best all-around option talent for the tier.
黑暗之怒
is a good overall option if you like to use
暗影之怒
a lot, and best for AOE leveling or for use in dungeons.
恐惧嚎叫
is a rather dangerous option in this tier, as the targets wandering around from being feared can end up aggroing more mobs to attack you.
Level 45 Talents:
召唤黑眼
is the strongest option in the tier, as it allows you to use
召唤黑眼
more often in your leveling.
鬼影缠身
is an interesting ability to use, but it quickly loses effectiveness the quicker you're killing targets, as you spend more time having to cast it before starting to deal damage. It is good to use against Elites.
牺牲魔典
is the weaker talent in this tier - Although you do gain the sacrificed demon's Command Demon ability and a chance to deal extra damage, you do end up losing the demon to gain the benefits of this talent. The Voidwalker is a strong tank that doesn't have too much of a hard time keeping mobs off you, so this talent is not recommended to pick up.
Level 50 Talents:
死亡蔓延
is a good all-around option, although it does have the drawback of making your DOTs expire faster on the target.
灵魂导管
is an interesting talent that can have good benefits if it procs often, but the proc chance is too low for it to be worth over the two options of this tier.
黑暗灵魂:哀难
is a good option to take if you're dealing with strong mobs consistently, as it gives you some more burst to kill the target in time. It is especially strong when taken in conjunction with Dark Caller.
Suggested Demonology Warlock Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below will focus on giving you a lot of demons while maintaining your rotation with a relative low amount of buttons to push.
Level 15 Talents:
灾怨轰炸
is an incredibly strong AOE damage option at a relatively low cooldown, and the best talent to take for leveling this tier.
恐惧奇袭
is a little easier to use than Bilescourge Bombers, but does not deal nearly as much damage.
恶魔力量
is the most complicated out of the 3 talents to use, as you need to be aware of where your Felguard is at to get the most benefit out of this talent. This talent is also useless if you cannot use your Felguard for any reason.
Level 25 Talents:
魔性征召
is the best talent on this tier, as it smoothes out your Soul Shard generation and allows you to use more
古尔丹之手
s in the long run.
能量虹吸
can be a strong option if you're looking for more burst, but keeping Wild Imps alive is usually the better option.
末日降临
is by far the weakest option on this talent row for leveling, as mobs will often not last 20 seconds before dying.
Level 30 Talents:
恶魔皮肤
is the best overall option for this tier on a defensive standpoint, as it not only increases the limit for how much your
灵魂榨取
can absorb, it also allows your Soul Leech to generate itself passively, making you that much more of a tank.
爆燃冲刺
is a viable option if you feel like you need more movement speed, but Burning Rush can be dangerous to use thanks to its health drain.
黑暗契约
is an interesting oh-shit button that sacrifices a portion of your health to grant a shield. However, when it comes to general use, it is less useful than Demon Skin.
Level 35 Talents:
灵魂打击
is the strongest option in this tier, as it allows you to generate more Soul Shards to summon more demons. Be aware that this talent will not work if you don't have a Felguard.
驯犬大师的方略
is an interesting talent on paper, but the Shadowflame damage increase only applies to yourself, not your demons. As your demons deal a considerable amount of your overall damage, this talent isn't very strong in reality.
召唤邪犬
is not a very interesting option for a talent, as it has a cast time, costs a Soul Shard, and does not last for very long.
Level 40 Talents:
死亡缠绕
is a nice mix of defensive and control abilities - It disorients a target for 3 seconds and heals you in the process. It is the best all-around option talent for the tier.
黑暗之怒
is a good overall option if you like to use
暗影之怒
a lot, and best for AOE leveling or for use in dungeons.
恐惧嚎叫
is a rather dangerous option in this tier, as the targets wandering around from being feared can end up aggroing more mobs to attack you.
Level 45 Talents:
内心之魔
is the best all-around talent option for this row, as it simply summons more Imps to your side passively. Talent and forget!
灵魂导管
is an interesting talent that can have good benefits if it procs often, but the proc chance is low so it is usually not as strong as the other two talents in this tier.
魔典:恶魔卫士
is a good option if you're looking for more burst damage against elite mobs, but the cooldown does not make it as useful when you're leveling, as you won't have the spell available super often.
Level 50 Talents:
献祭之魂
is the best option for this talent tier, as it is simply a damage increase to your
暗影箭
and
恶魔之箭
spells the more demons you have up.
恶魔吞噬
is a good talent option when you need more burst against elite mobs, as it further empowers your
召唤恶魔暴君
.
虚空传送门
is a really fun talent option that allows you to summon more demons, but the long cooldown and possible RNG on what demons are summoned make this talent a bit lackluster when compared to the other talents in this tier row.
Suggested Destruction Warlock Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below focus on granting you additional burst, as well as more Haste for you to cast your spells faster.
Level 15 Talents:
爆裂之炎
is the strongest talent option for this tier, especially at the usual low Haste %s you will have during leveling, as the extra
爆燃
will help smooth out the rotation and allows you to either generate shards or cast
混乱之箭
s faster.
灭杀
is a strong talent option at max level once you get more gear, but as you are likely not casting
混乱之箭
consistently, it will not be as strong for leveling.
灵魂之火
is not a good talent for leveling - The incredibly long cast time means you will likely only be using it to pull mobs.
Level 25 Talents:
熵能返转
is the best talent option this tier, as the chance to gain Haste is fairly high and reliable.
内燃
can be a strong option if you don't mind consistently having to recast
内燃
, but it is not really recommended for a leveling Warlock.
暗影灼烧
is an incredibly fun talent that can be very rewarding if you can consistently use it to execute targets.
Level 30 Talents:
恶魔皮肤
is the best overall option for this tier on a defensive standpoint, as it not only increases the limit for how much your
灵魂榨取
can absorb, it also allows your Soul Leech to generate itself passively, making you that much more of a tank.
爆燃冲刺
is a viable option if you feel like you need more movement speed, but Burning Rush can be dangerous to use thanks to its health drain.
黑暗契约
is an interesting oh-shit button that sacrifices a portion of your health to grant a shield. However, when it comes to general use, it is less useful than Demon Skin.
Level 35 Talents:
大灾变
is far and away the most recommended talent in this row. It deals high damage, has a moderately low cooldown and applies
献祭
to all targets hit by it.
地狱烈火
is not that interesting unless you are consistently pulling many mobs at a time. The damage bonus to
火焰之雨
isn't that significant and you will likely not gain enough Soul Shards to cast it again just with this talent.
硫磺烈火
is interesting on paper, but
烧尽
s only dealing 40% to secondary targets makes this talent a tad weak.
Level 40 Talents:
死亡缠绕
is a nice mix of defensive and control abilities - It disorients a target for 3 seconds and heals you in the process. It is the best all-around option talent for the tier.
黑暗之怒
is a good overall option if you like to use
暗影之怒
a lot, and best for AOE leveling or for use in dungeons.
恐惧嚎叫
is a rather dangerous option in this tier, as the targets wandering around from being feared can end up aggroing more mobs to attack you.
Level 45 Talents:
咆哮烈焰
is the most recommended talent in this row, as
燃烧
is cast often enough to make the Fire damage bonus from this talent be active almost all the time. Just be mindful that this bonus does not apply to
混乱之箭
.
混乱之雨
is a weak talent choice, as not only it is only a chance to cast an extra Infernal, but it will be cast where your original one landed, which means this talent will become useless as soon as the mobs move from the original Infernal spawn point.
牺牲魔典
is the weaker talent in this tier - Although you do gain the sacrificed demon's Command Demon ability and a chance to deal extra damage, you do end up losing the demon to gain the benefits of this talent. The Voidwalker is a strong tank that doesn't have too much of a hard time keeping mobs off you, so this talent is not recommended to pick up.
Level 50 Talents:
黑暗灵魂:动荡
is a very strong burst talent, as the critical strike chance means a direct damage increase to your
混乱之箭
.
灵魂导管
is an interesting talent that can have good benefits if it procs often, but the proc chance is too low for it to be worth over the two options of this tier.
引导恶魔之火
is an interesting option that is available often, and a good all-around talent.
Best Warlock Leveling Rotation in Shadowlands
Although all three of the Warlock specializations focus on dealing damage in Shadowlands, they all have different playstyles. In this section of the guide, we go over basic rotations for all three Warlock specializations.
Optimal Affliction Warlock Ability Use While Leveling
You will want to start fights by applying your main dots - At least
痛楚
,
腐蚀术
, with
痛苦无常
being applied on your main target. Whenever you have Soul Shards and at least two dots on your targets, use
灾难狂欢
. When you have your DOTs going and no DOTs are falling off for a couple seconds, you can use
暗影箭
as a filler. You will want to use the
召唤虚空行者
as your active demon, as they can keep mobs away from you while dealing considerable damage to your enemies.
Elite Mobs:
Make sure you have your Voidwalker up and fully healed! Apply all your DOTs and use
召唤黑眼
to deal that little bit of extra damage and extend their duration, and go to town with . Remember to keep your Voidwalker healthy as he tanks the elite for you with
生命通道
, and use your abilities like
恐惧
and
暗影之怒
to help him take damage.
Lots of small mobs:
Initially you won't be able to do much but throw DOTs to fuel your
灾难狂欢
, but at later levels, you will be able to distribute dots to multiple targets with ease with
腐蚀之种
and
邪恶污染
. Don't forget to keep at least
痛楚
up on all mobs to generate shards for Malefic Rapture!
Dungeons:
Make sure to help your team by stunning as many mobs as you can with
暗影之怒
and providing your team with
治疗石
. You will want to use either your
召唤小鬼
or
召唤地狱猎犬
as your active demon, depending on whether your group wants interrupts or not.
Optimal Demonology Warlock Ability Use While Leveling
You will want to use
召唤恶魔卫士
as your active demon for almost all situations. You will want to start fights by shooting a
暗影箭
to start generating Soul Shard. When you have enough Soul Shards, spend them on
召唤恐惧猎犬
on cooldown and if not available, use
古尔丹之手
. Whenever you get a
恶魔之核
proc, use
恶魔之箭
to deal damage and generate even more Soul Shards.
Elite Mobs:
For elite mobs, you might want to trade your Felguard for
召唤虚空行者
, as the Voidwalker can withstand more damage than the Felguard. Summon as many demons as you can, then empower them with your cooldown,
召唤恶魔暴君
. Remember to keep your Voidwalker healthy as he tanks the elite for you with
生命通道
, and use your abilities like
恐惧
and
暗影之怒
to help him take damage.
Lots of small mobs:
Initially, your only ability that will deal AOE damage is
古尔丹之手
, so focus on spending shards on Hand of Gul'dan. Once you learn
内爆
at level 27, AOEing small mobs becomes a lot easier - You will want to generate Shards to cast a Hand of Gul'dan, then prepare a second Hand of Gul'dan, use Implosion to damage mobs then immediately cast that prepared Hand of Gul'dan to summon more imps and repeat the process. In addition, the Felguard can help you quickly dispatch small mobs with his
魔刃风暴
ability.
Dungeons:
Make sure to help your team by stunning as many mobs as you can with
暗影之怒
and providing your team with
治疗石
. Your Felguard's
巨斧投掷
works as both a stun and an interrupt (if the target is immune to stuns like a boss), so use that to your advantage to help your group!
Optimal Destruction Warlock Ability Use While Leveling
You will want to start fights by throwing an
烧尽
followed by an
献祭
from a distance to start your Shard Fragment generation. Use
燃烧
on cooldown and whenever you have 2 full Soul Shards, cast
混乱之箭
. You will want to use the
召唤虚空行者
as your active demon, as they can keep mobs away from you while dealing considerable damage to your enemies.
Elite Mobs:
Make sure you have your Voidwalker up and fully healed! Start your rotation and use
召唤地狱火
to deal even more damage and generate Soul Shards faster for more Chaos Bolts. Remember to keep your Voidwalker healthy as he tanks the elite for you with
生命通道
, and use your abilities like
恐惧
and
暗影之怒
to help him take damage.
Lots of small mobs:
You won't have much in the way of dealing with lots of enemies at the same time until you learn
火焰之雨
at level 28. Until then, it's generally recommended to avoid dealing with multiple mobs.
Dungeons:
Make sure to help your team by stunning as many mobs as you can with
暗影之怒
and providing your team with
治疗石
. You will want to use either your
召唤小鬼
or
召唤地狱猎犬
as your active demon, depending on whether your group wants interrupts or not.
Warlock Dungeon Leveling in Shadowlands
Currently, speed leveling through dungeon boosting is working on the Shadowlands pre-patch PTR. Dungeon boosting is having a max-level character pulling a low-level character through dungeons. This allows people to level a character from 10-50 in about 3 hours.
This may be nerfed prior to release, so do not count on this technique being available unless it is still in place when the pre-patch goes live.
In case this isn't available, or you don't have a max level character to do this for you, here are some general tips about dungeon leveling for Warlocks.
Because all three Warlock specializations are DPS specializations, be mindful that you will not be able to get into dungeons super fast. You will want to quest while waiting for dungeon queues to maximize your leveling time.
In a dungeon, be careful to not pull threat over the tank or pull more mobs than them.
Best Weapons and Gear For Leveling a Warlock in WoW Shadowlands
Warlock Heirlooms in Shadowlands
Heirloom gear is a special gear category that scales with your current level, can be created on the fly with the Heirloom menu, and offers set bonuses when multiple heirloom pieces are worn. The heirloom set bonuses are listed below:
2 Pieces:
Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.
3 Pieces
: Increases your out-of-combat regeneration in the outdoors, normal dungeons and battlegrounds.
5 Pieces
: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing 6546 Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% $pri for 2 min. Defeating enemies extends this effect, up to an additional 2 min.
6 Pieces
: Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.
As of Shadowlands, Heirlooms no longer grant increased experience gains when worn, and the only benefit from wearing them now comes from the fact that they scale with you and the set bonuses, so they are no longer considered that strong or necessary to wear.
For more information on the state of heirlooms in Shadowlands, check our heirloom changes guide.
Heirloom Changes in Shadowlands
Here is a list of recommended heirlooms for Warlock players to level with:
Helm:
破烂的鬼雾面罩
Necklace:
永恒救赎护符
or
堕落者的训练护符
Shoulder:
褴褛的鬼雾衬肩
or
精致的碎裂先知衬肩
Cloak:
上古血月披风
or
石头守卫的刃缘披风
/
吉尔尼斯条纹披风
Chest:
破烂的鬼雾长袍
Legs:
破烂的鬼雾护腿
Rings:
第三舰队玺戒
and
海狼之戒
Trinkets:
敏锐的比斯巨兽之眼
and
虚空之触
Weapon:
高贵的院长之杖
Although Heirlooms themselves are not as valuable as they once were, the Heirloom mount,
代驾型摩托
, is still very valuable, as it is the only mount you can use until you can actually learn to mount at level 10. You can obtain this mount by completing the achievement
传家宝收藏家
.
Relics of the Past
Relics of the past are a new profession reagent added in Shadowlands. When crafting profession items and adding them to the craft, these items will have their item level and required level changed. All crafting professions can craft Relics of the Past, and these are the Relics of the Past that can be crafted:
故往神器 I
: Set the Item Level to 23 and the Required Level to 15.
故往神器 II
: Set the Item Level to 33 and the Required Level to 25.
故往神器 III
: Set the Item Level to 43 and the Required Level to 35.
故往神器 IV
: Set the Item Level to 56 and the Required Level to 45.
故往神器 V
: Set the Item Level to 100 and the Required Level to 50.
These are not very useful for leveling, as you should be outleveling items fairly quickly through your leveling experience in Shadowlands, but it can be a fun experience to level using items from the past.
Stat Weights while Leveling in Shadowlands
Stat Weights are usually not that important while leveling, as considering the nature of quest rewards, you will almost never be able to gather enough for a specific stat or keep a piece of gear for long enough for looking for stats to be a worthy endeavor.
In the case of leveling, a piece with higher item level than the one you have equipped will almost always be better, as pieces with higher item levels will always have more Intellect and Stamina.
Best Warlock Leveling Professions in Shadowlands
Although there are many professions to choose from, some can give a Warlock a bit of an edge. A good profession combo as a Warlock is
裁缝
and
附魔
- Tailoring allows you to sew clothes you loot from mobs into equippable pieces of Cloth Armor, while Enchanting allows you to disenchant unwanted items - Including those made from Tailoring - into reagents used to enchant your armor pieces.
Another interesting profession set for Warlocks is
草药学
and
炼金术
, where you use the herbs collected from Herbalism and convert them into potions with Alchemy. As Warlocks have a lot of skills that exchange health, having a handful of healing potions is not a bad idea for any Warlocks out there.
If you're looking just to make money, you can pair Herbalism with one of the other gathering professions,
采矿
or
剥皮
. The previously mentioned Enchanting profession is also not bad to make money with, but you will not be able to generate as many reagents without a crafting profession.
Best Warlock Questing Path in Shadowlands
In Shadowlands, players will go through a massive level squish, and with it, leveling paths are severely changed. The current level path for Shadowlands goes as follows:
Levels 1-10:
Your race's Starting Area or Exile's Reach
Levels 10-50:
Battle for Azeroth zones or other expansion zones via Chromie Time
Levels 50-60:
Shadowlands Storyline or Threads of Fates
Brand new characters are required to do Exile's Reach for levels 1-10 and Battle for Azeroth for levels 1-50.
There is no innate advantage to level in whatever zones you'd like at levels 1 through 50, the only advantage being you will leave Exile's Reach with a close to full set of Uncommon-quality armor. There are innate advantages to leveling in each expansion - Vanilla is more friendly for those who can't fly, Wrath of the Lich King is very linear, Warlords of Draenor has a lot of treasures and bonus objectives, Legion has access to powerful Artifact weapons, etc.
For levels 50-60, for your first time going through Shadowlands, you are forced to follow the order Bastion > Maldraxxus > Ardenweald > Revendreth, but for subsequent characters, you will be able to choose what zone order you want to go through.
For more information about the Shadowlands leveling changes and level squish, check our guide:
Shadowlands Leveling Changes & Level Squish
Threads of Fate Leveling
Threads of Fate is a new system added in the Shadowlands expansion. The Threads of Fate system allows you to level alts through completion of World Quests, Bonus Objectives, exploring the Shadowlands zones in a non-linear way. This system grants you an early start on Covenant progress and early access to bonuses such as Shadowlands reputations. For more information on the Threads of Fate system, check our guide!

Warlocks are an intellect based, cloth-wearing, ranged class, using many spellcasts to slowly drain enemies to death. They are masters of self-sufficiency, being able to heal themselves in a myriad of ways while ensuring enemies die.
Warlocks use two resources, Mana and Soul Shards. Mana is a slowly regenerating resource that fuels the Warlock's most basic attacks. Soul Shards are built up by using abilities and can be expended for the Warlock's more devastating abilities.
Using Mana and Soul Shards on your Warlock
法力值
is the universal resource for Warlocks, and is shared among most classes in the game. Most Warlock spells use mana, ranging from utility spells like
不灭决心
and
制造治疗石
, to lesser offensive abilities that build Soul Shards, like
痛楚
,
暗影箭
and
烧尽
.
灵魂碎片
is a Warlock-exclusive resource. Soul Shards are created by lesser spells and used on more powerful spells like
痛苦无常
,
古尔丹之手
and
混乱之箭
. Soul Shards are also used to summon forth new demons and guardians. Spells that use Soul Shards do not have a mana cost. While not in combat, you will maintain a steady 3 Soul Shards, and you can accumulate up to 5 Soul Shards at a time. On the default UI, Soul Shards are displayed right below your mana bar, with 5 crystals. Crystals shining with a bright purple hue are shards available to be used.
Health Bar in Green, Mana Bar in Blue, and 3 Soul Shards available to use.
Warlock Demons
Warlocks can summon a variety of demons, available to specializations. Each Demon has different abilities and can be used in a variety of situations. Each demon costs 1 Soul Shard to be summoned, and the Warlock can only have 1 Demon active at a time.
召唤小鬼
summons a small
小鬼
that throws
火焰箭
s at the target, and at higher levels, can dispell allies with
烧灼驱魔
.
召唤虚空行者
summons a
虚空行者
that withstands heavy punishment, and can be used to tank mobs for you.
召唤魅魔
summons a
魅魔
that can disorient targets with
诱惑
, and knock them back with
鞭打
.
召唤地狱猎犬
summons a
地狱猎犬
that can interrupt spells with
法术封锁
and purge benefical effects from your foes with
吞噬魔法
.
召唤恶魔卫士
summons a
恶魔卫士
that can deal area damage with
魔刃风暴
and stun enemies with
巨斧投掷
. Only Demonology Warlocks can summon a Felguard.
Warlocks can also summon stronger demons, known as Guardians. These demons only stay active for a short period of time but are stronger than your normal demons. They can provide you that needed boost of damage when in a bad situation. Guardians can also be active at the same time as your normal demon, and each specialization has access to a different Guardian.
Affliction
has access to
召唤黑眼
, which will extend all your periodic effects on your targets when summoned. The Darkglare will blast your enemies with Shadow damage while active, and its damage is increased for every periodic effect you have on the target.
Demonology
has access to
召唤恶魔暴君
, which will increase the damage of both you and your other active demons when summoned. The Demonic Tyrant will blast enemies with Shadow damage while active.
Destruction
has access to
召唤地狱火
, which will provide you with Soul Shard Fragments every half a second. While active, the Infernal will melee targets and blast them with area Fire damage.
Warlock Utility
At higher levels, Warlocks have access to various survivability spells:
不灭决心
at level 4 reduces all damage you take for a few seconds, and
灵魂榨取
at level 24 is a passive ability that grants you shields whenever you deal damage. Warlocks can also
制造治疗石
s that heal for a percentage of your life and resurrect people in combat with
灵魂石
.
Warlocks are also able to control enemies in many different ways: They can disorient foes with
恐惧
, render certain types of enemies unable to attack with
放逐术
, stun enemies in an area with
暗影之怒
and even submit a demon to do their own bidding for a few minutes with
征服恶魔
.
Warlocks also have the unique utility of being able to summon players from anywhere in the world: With
召唤仪式
and the assistance of 2 other players, you can create a Summoning Portal and invoke allies to the position of the portal.

The Conflagration link you are using refers to an ability used by one of Beastlord Darmac's animals in Blackrock Foundry. This is very different from the Conflagrate spell used by destruction warlocks. While leveling, you should use Conflagrate when it's available, especially if you have two charges, as it reduces the cast time for the next three Incinerates or the next Chaos Bolt you cast due to a passive ability called Backdraft. However, Backdraft is not available at low levels so would be beyond the scope of this guide. But at all levels Conflagrate is free instant damage that can be cast while moving.

The summon voidwalker link is broken, it's spell 697 not 69. The healthstone section implies that the item has one charge, not 3. Also it would be good to mention that while the voidwalker is a good tank for solo questing and leveling, it is NOT good for dungeons. The imp or felhunter is preferred while in groups. If your voidwalker tries to taunt a mob's attention off of your group's tank, at best you will have an annoyed tank, and at worst it could cause your group to die.

It would probably be a good idea too to explain that if they do join a dungeon they should not use the voiwalker, or at the least turn it's
taunt
off by right clicking it.

While this is generally a very nice guide, I’d avoid calling it 1-120 until you actually add the 110-120 section. I was brought here by a search for that specifically, and was this kind of disappointed.

Soul strike over summon vilefeind? It seems this guide is little old.

I found a mistake.
Warlocks are also able to control enemies in many different ways: They can disorient foes with Fear, render certain types of enemies unable to attack with Banish, stun enemies in an area with Shadowfury and even
submit
a demon to do their own bidding for a few minutes with Subjugate Demon.
Bold word should be "subjugate".

Affliction level 45 talents now are Shadow Embrace, Haunt, and Grimoire of Sacrifice. This description for level 45 states to take the Summon Darkglare talent, which is no longer a talent and is now learned at level 58.

In the Choosing a Warlock Specialization section it is suggested to use shadow bolt as filler in the affliction part - either i am blind or shadow bolt is not part of the affliction spec - i think its the latter.
