WoW Forever Warlock abilities: what changed outside the talents
Some of the biggest Warlock changes are trained spells rather than talents. These 3 notes come from the level 60 Beta spellbook; each one links to the talents that reference it. Ranks and levels can still change before launch.
Subjugate DemonRenamed
Enslave Demon under a new name; three ranks, first trained at 30.
Bane of AgonyRenamed
Curse of Agony renamed to a Bane, as is Bane of Doom. Banes and Curses are separate categories, so one of each can be active on a target.
IncubusNew
Summon Incubus is in the Demonology book at level 20: a 10 sec cast that costs a Soul Shard.
Racial abilities are listed separately on the WoW Forever racials page; they cost no talent points. Every class’s changes are collected on the WoW Forever abilities page.
How to plan WoW Forever Warlock talents
Plan WoW Forever Warlock talents around the demon you keep out. Demonic Knowledge, Demonic Energies and Master Demonologist only work with a summoned demon, while Demonic Sacrifice trades the pet for a two-hour buff and Demonic Pact lets you resummon a different one without losing it. Decide that first, then trace the tree's prerequisites backwards.
Set your level and budget
Level sets the budget for WoW Forever Warlock talents: 21 points at level 30, 51 at level 60, and the three trees draw from the same total. Wrack, Demonic Pact and Incinerate each need 30 points in earlier rows of their tree, so a 51-point plan reaches one of them with 20 points to spare; a 21-point plan reaches none.
Learn and refund ranks
Inspect (default): tap to read; use + / − in the details to edit points. Quick points: tap to add a point; tap the name for details. Locked WoW Forever Warlock talents show what they wait for: Siphon Life needs 20 Affliction points, Demonic Sacrifice 10 in Demonology, and Conflagrate 15 in Destruction.
Reach the later rows
Rows unlock in order: 5 points in earlier rows of the same tree for row two, 10 for row three, so later WoW Forever Warlock talents are gated by their own tree. Destruction stacks its new talents late: Bane of Havoc and Fire and Brimstone in row five, Shadow and Flame in row six. Refund dependants ahead of their prerequisite, or reset the tree.
Save and share WoW Forever Warlock talents
A Warlock keeps more than one plan: an Affliction drain spread, a Demonology pet layout, a Destruction build around Conflagrate and Incinerate. Your current allocation of WoW Forever Warlock talents saves as one draft; open My builds, name a setup such as Demo 31/20 and choose Save build to keep several. Names stay on this device.

If automatic copying fails, select the link in the field; Share shows up on devices that offer it. Local saves do not sync, so keep a link before clearing browser data.
