Warlock PvP Guides for Cataclysm Classic
Welcome to our PvP Warlock guide for Cataclysm. Here you will find
overviews of all viable PvP Warlock specs, learn about their strengths,
weaknesses and best professions, as well as macros and addons for Warlock.
You can also find links to the detailed specialization guides below.
Warlock PvP Overview
Warlocks are one of the best classes in Cataclysm PvP. The class has
an excellent toolkit with plenty of Crowd Control (CC), disruption, damage and are one of the
most durable classes in a PvP setting.
Affliction — Revolves around pressure through attrition in order to
overcome your opponents and win in a PvP setting. Affliction Warlocks deal great amounts
of spread pressure while being able to crowd control the enemy team.
Unfortunately, neither Demonology or
Destruction are viable
PvP options in Cataclysm. Thus, we will not cover them at any length with written guides.
Warlock Arena Compositions
If you are interested in learning more about a variety of Arena compositions
featuring a Warlock and its relative strength
in PvP, please consult our guides on them below.
Macros and Addons
Macros and Addons are important for complementing your gameplay in PvP, where a fast-paced setting requires quick reactions. Macros serve as a source of convenience, allowing you to perform actions in a faster time. Addons help to increase awareness by showing more information that the default UI does not otherwise indicate. Below you will find the links for suggested Macros and Addons to use in Cataclysm PvP.
