Board breakdown

What is the best race for a Warlock in WoW Forever?

Undead ranks first, and its Will of the Forsaken shrugs off Fear, Charm and Sleep. Pick Troll instead for Berserking, which speeds up spellcasting, or Orc for Command, which adds 5 percent to your demon's damage.

Each tile, Undead first, opens its Warlock race card.

How good is the new Troll Warlock in WoW Forever?

Troll Warlock is very good, landing at S. Berserking speeds your casting by 10 percent for 15 seconds, and Regeneration keeps 20 percent of your Health regeneration running in combat, which offsets part of what Life Tap spends.

Which Warlock race should each faction pick in WoW Forever?

Any Horde race keeps you on the top grade, so choose Undead, Troll or Orc freely. Alliance players should lean Human, whose Spirit bonus makes every Life Tap convert more Health into Mana. Gnome shares Human's grade and breaks snares with Escape Artist.
