Most players level their Warlock either with the Affliction or the Demonology talent spec. But is there also a Warlock Destruction leveling spec? Let me show you a talent build that you can use to level up your Warlock in this guide.
But first of all one word of warning: Destruction is both mana-inefficient and gear-dependant. I recommend you to use the Warlock Destruction leveling spec once you’ve got to level 60 or even higher.
Once you get to the outland, the gear suddenly gets a lot more powerful as you probably already know. You will get more mana and – most importantly – a lot of spell damage on your equipment.
Level 1-60 with the traditional Affliction or Demonology build and then you can easily switch to the devastating Destruction leveling talent build.
Here’s how my guide suggest you to spend all your talent builds:
Destruction (55)
- Bane 5/5
- Molten Skin 3/3
- Cataclysm 3/3
- Shadowburn 1/1
- Ruin 5/5
- Intensity 2/2
- Destructive Reach 2/2
- Improved Immolate 3/3
- Devastation 1/1
- Emberstorm 5/5
- Conflagrate 1/1
- Soul Leech 3/3
- Pyroclasm 3/3
- Shadow and Flame 5/5
- Backdraft 3/3
- Shadowfury 1/1
- Empowered Imp 3/3
- Fire and Brimstone 5/5
- Chaos Bolt 1/1
Demonology (16)
- Improved Imp 3/3
- Demonic Embrace 3/3
- Demonic Brutality 3/3
- Fel Vitality 2/2
- Soul Link 1/1
- Fel Domination 1/1
- Demonic Aegis 3/3
When it comes to equipment there are only a few things you should look for: Spell damage, Critical Strike rating and Haste rating. You will waste your mana very fast and there is no need to hold back. You will make lots of breaks to recover your mana. But that’s okay since you can kill off many mobs in little time.
That’s why you shouldn’t try to stack Intellect on your gear when you can also choose an item that increases your spell damage or crit. chance.
With this Warlock Destruction leveling spec you can fly through the last remaining 20 levels and finally ding 80 in no time.
