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 for Corruption, Curse of Agony and Shadow Bolt. Fire damage counts half, for Immolate. Intellect next, since a warlock out of mana has nothing left to cast.
What talents go with this Warlock PvE list?
Affliction for damage in dungeons, 11/0/0 at level 20: Improved Life Tap 1/2, Suppression 5/5, Improved Corruption 5/5.
How much health does a level 20 Warlock have in this gear?
A Gnome Warlock has 814 health and 313 armor with 1483 mana; a Undead Warlock has 814 health and 305 armor with 1423 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the first item in each slot, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Stats are read from the Forever client, including items the game server sends that the packaged client lacks. Rankings within a slot are best first for the level 20 cap. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
