Learn about World of Warcraft Warlock damage over time (DoT) spells and Fear abilities, and how Life Tap affects stat specialization.

Warlocks in World of Warcraft are mostly damage over time (DoT) DPS, with special attention paid to their Fear abilities. Damage over time means you will cast a spell and the affliction will do the damage to the target. With your DoT spells on the target, you can then use Fear to chase them away from you, or against the environment, you can use other spells for more damage.

You can also specialize in your minion or your pure casting spells. Through your Life Tap, you can convert health into mana, so rather than go all in for intellect, you can just get stamina.

Tips
  • Use DoT spells on a target, then employ Fear to make them flee.
  • Consider specializing in your minion or pure casting spells.
  • Life Tap allows you to convert health into mana, making stamina a viable alternative to focusing solely on intellect.
