WoW Forever Warlock leveling build: talents 10–20

Warlock — Affliction

Make Corruption instant first. Life Tap and Soul Harvesting then support Mana recovery, while Suppression reduces missed spells. Let damage-over-time effects finish a doomed target; another cast can simply buy you another drinking break.

Allocation

Affliction 11

Where to spend every point from level 10 to 20

The table allocates all 11 points from levels 10 to 20, without the Legacy Talented bonus. Talent names match the English calculator entries.

What these talents change while leveling

Improved Corruption 5/5 cuts the cast by 2 seconds and raises its damage by 10%. Improved Life Tap 2/2 then increases the mana returned by that spell by 20%.

Suppression 3/5 adds 3 percentage points of hit chance and reduces generated threat by 12%. These points improve reliability; they do not mean every spell will land.

Soul Harvesting 1/2 requires the target to die while affected by your Drain Soul. Its benefit lasts 10 seconds: 50% increased mana regeneration, with regeneration allowed at 50% of normal speed while casting.

The tradeoff to know

The final talent does not trigger from just any kill: watch for Drain Soul at the moment of death. Avoid spending another cast on a target your periodic damage will finish anyway. Saving mana for the next enemy is part of the plan.
