Warlock PvE questions
What is the best weapon for a level 30 Warlock PvE in WoW Forever?
Fallen Dragon's Scepter for Alliance, from Alliance quest Stopping the Cycle, Wetlands, level 34 (Elite, from level 24: take a group). Swinetusk Shank for Horde, from Agathelos the Raging, Razorfen Kraul (33.54% in Classic).
Which stats matter most for a level 30 Warlock PvE?
Shadow damage and spell power above all, then critical strike: Suppression already caps hit. Fire damage counts a little, for Immolate.
What talents does a Warlock PvE use at level 30?
Affliction dungeon, 26/0/0 at level 30 with Talented: Suppression 5/5, Improved Corruption 5/5, Improved Drains 3/3, Improved Bane of Agony 2/2, Pandemic 3/3, Malevolence 5/5, Nightfall 2/2, Siphon Life 1/1.
How much health does a level 30 Warlock have in this gear?
A Gnome Warlock has 739 health and 377 armor with 1648 mana; a Undead Warlock has 859 health and 365 armor with 1363 mana. That is Classic's level 30 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Rankings within a slot are best first for level 30. 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.
