Warlock in WoW Forever
No class deep dive yet. Beta notes so far: Hellfire can crit, Life Tap scales with Spirit, and pet Aggressive mode is back.
No class deep dive yet
Blizzard has published full class overviews for Priest, Warrior, Hunter, Druid, Paladin. Warlock has not had one, and Blizzard says every class will be covered. Until then, the only official Warlock changes are the tuning lines in the beta development notes — listed below with their dates. They show what exists in the beta client, not the whole class.
What applies to every class: talent trees keep their rows, with milestone talents at 11, 16 (new), 21 and 31 points; key buff talents become baseline; hit and crit are merged across spell, melee and ranged.

Levelling a Warlock to 60
About 150 hours of play for a first character by community estimates, and Blizzard has announced no WoW Token or paid boost for Forever. If the Warlock changes above are why you are rolling one, this is what skipping the climb costs on the pre-order market.
Market prices: pre-order listings on lfcarry.com, wowvendor.com, skycoach.gg, kingboost.net and others, checked 2 October 2026. Our own rates go up when realms open — no one can deliver Forever gold before 4 November.
