Warlock Pvp

So in the last part of my warlock pvp guide I went over the warlock spec called affliction. Today I wanted to go over the standard warlock pvp destruction build that I along with most other warlocks use in the arena. This spec can be used in battlegrounds, 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 but I prefer to use affliction in 2s. If you can find a good healer to pair up with battlegrounds are a ton of fun destro other wise affliction is a bit safer.

If you are going to play a destro lock in the arena you must know how to burst your enemies down and get out of LOS when necessary. If you try to stand in the open and just spam spells you WILL die. So, my warlock pvp destro build is as follows:

Affliction (3)

• Suppression 3/3

Demonology (17)

• Demonic Embrace 3/3
• Fel Synergy 2/2
• Improved Health Funnel 2/2
• Fel Vitality 3/3
• Soul Link 1/1
• Fel Domination 1/1
• Demonic Aegis 3/3
• Master Summoner 2/2

Destruction (51)

• Bane 5/5
• Aftermath 2/2
• Molten Skin 3/3
• Shadowburn 1/1
• Ruin 5/5
• Intensity 2/2
• Destructive Reach 2/2
• Backlash 3/3
• Improved Immolate 3/3
• Devastation 1/1
• Nether Protection 3/3
• Emberstorm 5/5
• Conflagrate 1/1
• Shadow and Flame 5/5
• Backdraft 3/3
• Shadowfury 1/1
• Fire and Brimstone 5/5
• Chaos Bolt 1/1

This is the basic warlock pvp build for destro locks.  You can play with a few of the talents just like in affliction.  For example, if you have plenty of hit already you might drop the 3 points in affliction and instead stick them in Soul Leech which gives a nice healing bones.  You can also place them in Improved Succubus if you like to use your Succy a lot but I prefer a fel hunter.  This build allowed me to break the 2200 mark in 3v3 and is the recommended build for 5s as well although I do not play 5s on a regular basis.

Warlock Glyphs

If you are going to play a warlock pvp build such as destro then you need to have the right glyphs.  For this warlock pvp spec to be most effective I recommend 3 Major Glyphs:

1. Glyph of Conflagrate
2. Glyph of Immolate
3. Glyph of Incinereate

Your minor glyphs really don’t matter so you can choose whatever you fancy.  I hope you found this section of my warlock pvp guide helpful but remember if you need more advanced tips and strategies I recommend Pvp Bible.  This is not actually a Warlock Pvp guide but instead its a full scale membership site with access to real Pros to answer your questions.
