12/7/2023 4:18:45 PM

We're going to show you how we top DPS for these groups as meta tank and even soloed the stockades dungeon at level 25, welcome to the Warlock meta guide in WoW Season of Discovery.

 

Talents

You'll be using the same talents as the Affliction spec except you'll drop the one point in Nightfall and put this point in suppression, if you do this right you should have five in corruption, four in suppression.

 

Runes

Master Channeler on the chest to make your life drains instant demonic Grace to empower Your Shadow Cleaves and Seering pains and meta.

 

Gear

We're primarily stacking spell power because it will enhance your drain life, and you'll be stealing all the damage that you take back to you, stat priority is spell power, Shadow power, Fire power, stamina for survival, intellect for crit.

 

Rotation

for single Target, you'll Immolate at the start of the pool, then use Corruption and Drain Life, the curse of Agony if you think this mob will live longer than 10 seconds, COA, then Demonic Grace and Seering Pain, Life Tap when you need Mana always maintain 100% uptime on drain life and try to tap life before your health bar gets to 100%.

 

Multi-Target

  • 1. Seering Pain

  • 2. Life Drain

  • 3. Demonic Grace

  • 4. Shadow Cleave

  • 5. Seering Pain

  • 6. Corruption

  • 7. Life Tap

  • 8. Taunt

 

Macros

For starters, you can macro a pet attack and a start attack into all of your abilities, if you don't want to micromanage your pet.

 

Addons

We highly recommend the threat plates or plater add-on, so you can tell if you have aggro on the mobs, just remember you'll have to manually tell the add-on that you're a tank as it doesn't currently register warlocks as tanks, details is also good because tanking in classic is is traditionally done by doing the most damage, so always try to improve your DPS.

 

Pets

Succubus for damage imps for bosses with high armor like gura and void Walker sacrifice if you want more survivability.

 

PVP

We don't actually recommend the meta build for PVP as it currently has no way to Gap closeing combat, you can get infinitely cided by range DPS especially Hunters, so instead, we would recommend you go with the haunt or chaos bolt build.
