Warlock Leveling Method

McRibben's Warlock Leveling Method

Introduction
I have leveled two warlocks to 70 using this same method. I haven't used an imp for leveling since level 10 on both. It's voidwalker all the way. What this guide is intended to do is to maximize time spent killing rather than time spent drinking as I see many of the warlocks leveling today do.

Talent Build
To level efficiently, always spec affliction/demonology. Below is the build I use. Put all the points in affliction first.

Items required
The only thing that makes this method the best for leveling is keeping your wand up to date with your level. Make a bank toon and the next time you're near a mail box, send the money, buy the wand, send back. While leveling, picking up stamina and intellect gear is the only gear you should be getting.

Levels 1-10
Simply Immolate, corruption, wand until death. At level 10, be sure to get your voidwalker.

Levels 11-21
At this point, use your corruption, curse of agony, life tap, drain life, wand. This will keep you at 93%-100% mana. At level 21, you get siphon life, one of the best dots you get.

Levels 22-70
At this point you will follow the same dot rotation. Corruption, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life, Life Tap, Drain Life, and then wand.

Conclusion
Both of my locks hit level 70 in 10 days played time. Only time I had to drink was when I pulled 3+ mobs. Immolate is to never be used after you have learned drain life. Yes this might not kill them as fast, but constantly mowing through mobs is more efficient than kill three, drink, kill three, drink.

dont use wand as warlock Dx
Just specc some affli and press drain soul just before it dies, then you get 15% of your total mana

Using drain soul all the time fills up your bag space very quickly. When leveling you have a lot of things to be picking up.

Very good point. For the answer, and a leveling time of 3 day played time faster, go to http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...tml#post984218

PS. Sorry for the thread hijack, but it's solving your own problem. Good guide still and +Rep for the contribution.

Well, if you have the top warlock mod (necrosis), you can enable the setting that destroys excess soulshards
