About the Warlock TBC Talent Calculator

Warlocks are one of the most dominant DPS classes in The Burning Crusade, consistently topping damage meters from Karazhan through Sunwell Plateau. With three distinct talent trees โ€” Affliction for sustained DoT pressure and raid debuffs, Demonology for Soul Link PvP survivability and leveling efficiency, and Destruction for raw Shadow Bolt burst damage โ€” the Warlock offers builds for every situation in TBC. Destruction Warlocks using the DS/Ruin (Demonic Sacrifice + Ruin) build become the highest sustained single-target DPS in the game during T5 and T6 content, while Affliction Warlocks provide irreplaceable raid debuffs like Malediction and Shadow Embrace. In PvP, the SL/SL (Soul Link / Siphon Life) build makes Warlocks nearly unkillable in arena, dominating 2v2 and 3v3 brackets throughout all seasons. Use this calculator to plan your 61 talent points and find the perfect Warlock build for your playstyle.
