Troll Warlock in WoW Forever

Trolls can be Warlocks in Forever, which puts them on seven of the nine classes. A Troll Warlock gets Berserking, now a flat 10% casting speed, and Rapid Regeneration, a heal for half your Health that wins back what Life Tap spends.

Racial effects are Blizzard’s, from its September 23 race article; talents come from the same beta talent data as our calculator (where it comes from); hands-on reports are named where we use them. Last reviewed: .

Troll racials for a Warlock

Every Troll racial, what it does in Forever and how much it does for a Warlock, with the Warlock talents it works with. Hover or tap an icon for the full text.

  • BerserkingCore for a Warlock

    +10% attack and casting speed for 15 sec; 3 min cooldown

    Ten seconds of faster casts at any Health; the Classic version scaled from 10% to 30% as your Health dropped. Line it up with your longest casts.

  • Rapid RegenerationCore for a Warlock

    Restore 50% of your maximum Health over 6 sec; moving, acting or taking damage cancels it; 3 min cooldown

    Half your Health back, which a Warlock turns into Mana with Life Tap: more Mana per tap with Improved Life Tap, and Demonic Energies passes the same Mana to your demon. The beta client spreads it over 6 seconds, and any movement, action or damage interrupts it, so use it between fights; 3-minute cooldown.

    Works with Improved Life Tap Demonic Energies

  • Beast SlayingSituational

    +5% damage against Beasts

    5% more damage to Beasts. Useful while leveling through zones full of them; nothing else.

  • RegenerationMinor

    +20% Health regeneration; 20% of it continues in combat

    20% more Health regeneration, and 20% of it keeps going in combat (10% until the October 15 build). Small, but it refills Health spent on Life Tap a little faster.

Community Warlock builds

Builds players posted for the Forever beta, checked point by point against our talent data. None of them depends on race, so each works for a Troll Warlock.

Demonology

Affliction 3Demonology 18level 30

Three points in Affliction (Improved Corruption and Improved Life Tap) and 18 in Demonology. Unholy Power adds 10% to your demon’s damage, three points of Demonic Embrace add Stamina, and Improved Sayaad and Master Summoner serve the Succubus or Incubus and quicker, cheaper summons. Two talents are new in Forever: Demonic Energies heals your demon with your spell damage and shares the Mana of Life Tap with it, and Demonic Brand makes Searing Pain brand the target, so your demon’s next attacks on it deal extra damage and high threat.

Built around ( new in Forever):

  • Improved Life Tap 1/2
  • Improved Corruption 2/5
  • Demonic Energies 2/2
  • Demonic Brand 3/3
