Azeroth Survivors Warlock Builds

Choose a route and its core talents

Affliction links Shadow Bolt and Corruption, then spreads damage-over-time effects. Demonology is the separate summon-focused alternative with a demon army and Pit Lord. These plans use different enabling choices.

What to draft during a run

Keep Corruption and the Affliction talents together for the spreading-damage route. A Demonology plan should prioritize its summon package instead. No assumption about official DoT critical hits is needed to present either direction.

DoT behavior in the public rebuild does not prove the official client uses the same critical-hit rules. Keep that unresolved question separate from the practical decision between spreading effects and summons. This paragraph is editorial advice, not a measured result.

Race and equipment examples

The community guide suggests Gnome or Undead and names the Plagueheart set. These are examples from that source, not a mandatory item checklist or a claim that every piece drops in the first zone. Exact racial percentages, item drop chances and set damage coefficients are not independently established here.

A new character can use the route’s spell priorities while working toward equipment. Do not read a finished set example as a requirement to begin playing. For zone progression, use the zone directory; for backing up unlocked gear and talents, use save export.

Who this plan suits and what the evidence cannot show

SavageDecay’s recording concerns Demonology and new talents. It is an illustration of the summon alternative; it is not a demonstration of the Affliction allocation summarized here.

SavageDecay: Demonology Warlock recording is a public player-recording reference from the repository research. Its upload date was not re-established in this review, so it is not embedded as dated video metadata. A recording demonstrates one player’s choices, not an independently reproduced optimum.

Client and rebuild differences

The starter above follows the client-derived class catalog. The community rebuild is a separate project. Consecration versus Hammer of Wrath, Auto Shot versus Arcane Shot, and Fireball versus Frostbolt are dataset differences, not alternatives to average together. Source: those two catalogs · checked 2026-10-27.

This page does not provide a verified complete point-by-point allocation, a DPS result or a win rate. The class guide linked beside each plan contains its proposed detailed allocation. Read that as the source author’s plan and keep the version distinction when applying it.
