Warlock Spellbook
Fear
''Fear Rank 1 15% of base mana 20 yd range 1.5 sec cast Strikes fear in the enemy, causing it to run in fear for up to 10 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Only 1 target can be feared at a time.'' -Warlocks CC, that allows them to be a powerhouse if used correctly on Offense. Most of the time you will want to find yourself fearing the EFC while trying to kill the healer/support with your team. Then turn your attention to the EFC. -In team fights you will want too fear the healers, Shamans>Priest>Mage/Pally. Shamans because of Tremor Totem and because Priests should be Sheep’ed by your team’s Mage or killed. (Also quick for getting rid of Rogues) |
Corruption
"Corruption Rank 2 55 mana 30 yd range 2 sec cast. Corrupts the target, causing 90 Shadow damage over 15 sec.”
-Corruption will be the spell Locks will be casting the most, as a warlock this is going to be your main source of damage, a small tip would be to spam your Tab Button (Tar Nearest Enemy) and keeping this up on them. (VS Warlocks try your best and dispel there Corruption/Curse of Agony and other DoTs quickly as this will save you mana from having too heal bigger amounts)
-This will be an instant cast spell with 5/5 in “Improved Corruption” in the Affliction tree which is HIGHLY recommended to pick up.
Curse of Agony
Curse of Agony Rank 2 50 Mana 30yd range Instant Cast. Curses the target with agony, causing 180 Shadow damage over 24 sec. This damage is dealt slowly at first, and builds up as the Curse reaches its full duration. Only one Curse per Warlock can be active on any one target.
-Curse of Agony should be the first spell you get on people as the damage is “back loaded” meaning it does more damage at the end. Unlike other DoT’s, this spell ticks every 2 seconds for a total of 12 ticks. The last 4 having the most damage per tick. Getting this on early means you will get the most value out of it.
-DO NOT reapply the DoT before it is completely up. You will lose a majority of your damage if you do this.
Life Tap
Life Tap Rank 2 65 Health Instant Cast. Converts 65 health into 65 mana.
-Life Tap is going to keep your dps going. This spell alone is the main reason you stack stamina on a Warlock. You will be using this spell to keep your mana up while using heals or bandages to keep your uptime in combat to a maximum. Do not underestimate how integral this spell is to your success.
Shadow Bolt
Shadow Bolt Rank 3 70 Mana 30yd range 2.8 sec cast. Sends a shadowy bolt at the enemy, causing 48 to 56 Shadow damage.
-As a Warlock, you should not be casting this spell in most cases.
-In a Survival Build, the dps from your Gravestone Scepter wand will do quicker mana free dps and should always be used over Shadow Bolt. In a Shadow Rot Build, you will only be getting 56% of your shadow spell power added to your dps. The 70 mana cost, casting time and lack of mobility while casting will cause most Warlocks to not utilize the extra shadow power for this spell.
