Warlock PvE best in slot at level 20
Level 20 archive. Shadow damage and spell power lead, since Corruption, Curse of Agony and every Shadow Bolt run on them. Fire damage counts half, for Immolate alone. Then Intellect, since a warlock out of mana has nothing left to do. Stamina weighs almost nothing here, healing nothing.

Warlock PvE questions
What is the best weapon for a level 20 Warlock PvE in WoW Forever?
Staff of Soran'ruk. The top pick comes from The Orb of Soran'ruk (level 25 in Classic, from level 20).
Which stats matter most for a level 20 Warlock PvE?
Shadow damage and spell power lead, since Corruption, Curse of Agony and every Shadow Bolt run on them. Fire damage counts half, for Immolate alone. Then Intellect, since a warlock out of mana has nothing left to do. Stamina weighs almost nothing here, healing nothing.
What talents does a Warlock PvE use at level 20?
Affliction dungeon, 11/0/0 at level 20: Suppression 5/5, Improved Corruption 5/5, Improved Bane of Agony 1/2.
How much health does a level 20 Warlock have in this gear?
A Gnome Warlock has 784 health and 343 armor with 1468 mana; a Undead Warlock has 814 health and 305 armor with 1408 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Rankings within a slot are best first for level 20. Random-suffix items use the named variant's stats and link to the underlying item; check the full name when buying. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
