Check out our warlock leveling guide 1-60 for Vanilla / Classic WoW to help you leveling faster. You'll find the best spec, best gear, addons, to be the first warlock to reach lvl 60!
The only significant drawback from a leveling perspective is their low mobility possessing neither movement boosting abilities or talents. However, this lack of speed is made up for by Warlocks’ unparalleled ability to sustain combat against multiple enemies at once with virtually 0 downtime.
This is achieved in part through their tanky voidwalker and imp drain soul, by mainly because warlocks are the only class in the game that are able to utilize health and mana as interchangeable resources through life tap and drain life.
Their ability to turn a couple global cooldowns into hyper efficient damage over time spells that will have impact for 20+ seconds allows them to utilize natural mana regeneration per the 5 second rule earlier than almost every other class.
My favorite aspect of Warlock leveling, and this is a sentiment echoed by every Warlock I spoke with is that class is highly flexible and lends itself to your playstyle. There is no cookie cutter build you have to follow and there are many viable ways to level a Warlock efficiently.
With that said, take everything in this guide with a grain of salt and let’s begin!
Here is our selection of the best warlock race in wow classic for PVE or PVP.
Gnome is the race with the highest base intellect of the game.
Racial passif : +5% intellect, best stat for you.
Skill : Very powerful in PvP to avoid getting kited.
Hardiness - One of the best PvP racial skills, one resist can change a fight!
Volonté des reprouvés : One of the best PvP Racials, you'll be the nightmare of warlock / priest.
Canibal : Free food! Serve yourself.
Here are some tips to progress quickly during your leveling as a warlock in classic wow.
Here are some tips to help you leveling faster:
Tips 1:
Lifetap does not prevent natural mana regeneration per the 5 second rule since you are using health as the resource to fund it not mana. This means you don’t need to front load lifetaps into your rotation cycle like many guides suggest.
Tips 2:
Immolate is your least damage to mana efficient spell until siphon life. If you are having mana issues you can always remove this from your rotation and rely more on your wand, although if this is the case you are likely mismanaging your hp / mana.
Tips 3:
Consider leveling First Aid so you can bandage both yourself and your pet. Health funnel is kinda trash.
Tips 4:
At stages of the game your wand will potentially do more damage than your abilities. Sometimes it is appropriate to prioritize wand damage over dots, especially because you don’t have to wait for a GCD to finish when using instants before starting to wand.
Tips 5 :
It's important to save your money as you are leveling; Warlocks don't need to purchase a mount, but we can spend our money on gear, so it's a very good idea to start saving now.
Additionally, only purchase the Voidwalker books. You can buy the upgrades to the other demons later when you turn level 60. It's also cheaper to do it this way too, as buying a level 6 skill book will automatically learn levels 1-5.

Here is the best order for choosing your talents from lvl 10 to lvl 60 (from left to right)
Once you get your Imp, start Triangle Trapping your mobs:
Here is the cycle of dps to respect for these levels.
Dots are situationally useful in this bracket but I don’t usually bother applying them as Shadowbolt is more efficient at dealing on damage and threat.
Get your Voidwalker ASAP so you can start Fear Juggling. If you have instant cast Corruption engage mobs with the following rotation if you are doing multi target sustained grinding:
Send Voidwalker in while casting Immolate -> CoA -> Corruption -> Wand -> Drain Soul (Rank 1) right before death
With NO instant corruption: Send Voidwalker while casting Corruption -> CoA -> Wand -> Drain Soul right before death
Send Voidwalker at Target 1 and dot it, Fear Target 2 then apply dots, send your voidwalker at Target 3 and dot it. Rinse and repeat, there should be no downtime if you manage resources well. Life tap if you have excess health, Drain Soul when a mob is about to die.
Here is the cycle of dps to respect for these levels.

For leveling, do not focus on gear with + spell power, it’s not efficient.
You need a LOT of SpellPower stat to actually make a difference., I'm talking about having a full set of SP gear.
To get this gear you'll need to waste both time and money by leveling up Tailoring, buying the recipes (one of them is in a house in the middle of nowhere in the Wetlands) and farm the resources to craft this gear.
The rest comes from blue BoE World drops, which you'll either need luck to get or you're gonna end up wasting money by buying them from the AH (thus wasting your time as well as you'll have to travel to town, then back to your questing zone).
The other stats are just better to stack and much easier to get without having to go out of your way.
Of course, if you get gear with spell damage, do not hesitate. But do not sacrifice [x] spirit or intellect only for that.
A quick glance at stats for PVE HL :
This trick is very important during leveling because the natural regeneration of mana (based on your total spirit) begins 5 seconds after your last spell.
Because of that mechanic, it is better to tank some hits with your HP to finish the mob with a wand (0 mana) and be able to get 2-3 ticks of natural mana regen before attacking the next opponent.
Here is the list of the best wand to get during your leveling.
Baguette magique inférieure : Lvl 5 : Lesser Magic Wand - Crafted Green from Enchanting
Baguette magique supérieure : Lvl 13 : Greater Magic Wand - Enchanting
Sceptre du tombeau : Lvl 27 : Quest Reward “Blackfathom Villainy” Blackfathom Deeps :
Bâtonnet d'excavation : Lvl 29 : Quest Reward “Ormer’s Revenge” Wetlands :
Baguette gnome : Lvl 35 : Quest Reward “Sunken Treasure” Arathi Highlands :
Baguette de Blackbone : Lvl 41 : Wand Vendor sells this white wand in all capital cities
Bâton de flamboyance : Lvl 45 : Quest Reward “The Morrow Stone” Feralas :
Fusil nuisible : Lvl 46 : Drops from Noxxion in Maraudon at 20%
Baguette de canalisation de mana : Lvl 56 : Drops from Cho’Rush the Observer in Dire Maul 25%
