Best In Slot Hexenmeister Gebrechen

Dec 04, 2020 With many different sources of gearing and loot scarcity in Shadowlands, targeting your absolute Best in Slot gear isn't entirely realistic; instead, we've created a Best in Slot list from the ideal Affliction Warlock raid drops found in Shadowlands, from Mythic Dungeons, to help you decide what to prioritize. BiS Gear - Warlock Guide: A list of the latest Best-in-Slot (BiS) gear for a Affliction Warlock in WoW Shadowlands. World of Warcraft (9.0.2).

Welcome to our Warlock Soulweaver Guide, updated for mod 17: Undermountain / Uprising and mod 18 Infernal Descent. To learn more about the new mod, check out our mod 18 Infernal Descent guide.

For the latest Neverwinter news and events, go to the MMOCULT Neverwinter Hub.

The Warlock class was introduced in Tyranny of Dragons. They are a spellcasting class that uses their dark powers to damage their foes and can also heal themselves and their allies. We recommend that you have a separate DPS Hellbringer DPS loadout. See our Warlock Hellbringer DPS build here.

The purpose of our class guides is not just to show you a build that you can copy and use on your character, but to show you a base build and teach you the mechanics and stats of the game, so you can understand and play your class to its fullest capabilities.

Try different gear, feats, and powers and learn to tailor your own build for your playstyle. See our guide to making your own build for more info.
