Warlock Guide - Best Warlock Spec for PvP

Since a Warlock can only be a damage dealer, basically any Warlock spec can be used in PvP. But if you specialize on Demonology, you gain a pretty much awesome ability, Metamorphosis, which can be considered a very nice I WIN button for a Warlock. However, not all the talents on the Demonology spec are very useful for PvP. Therefore, in this short Warlock guide, I'm going to tell you exactly what talents to keep and to exclude from the Demonology spec, and also what talents to train from the other specs.

Talents to Leave Out from your Demonology Spec

Fel Synergy. If you train two points in this talent, your gain 100% chances to heal your pet by 15% of the spell damage you deal. This may be useful in PvE, especially when you're leveling up, but it's a totally useless talent for PvP. Not very many players will ever attack your pet. And even if they do, you'll re-summon it right away.

Master Summoner. This talent reduces the cast time of the demon summoning spells by 1 second. Another useless talent. In case your pet is dead, you'll just use a Soul Shard to instantly summon your pet.

Improved Health Funnel. This talent improves your Health Funnel spell. However, in arena and PvP you won't be using it very much. Or you can always pop a bandage to heal the pet. So, it's best to save these 2 points.

Talents to Train from the Affliction and Destruction Specs

The second part of this short Warlock guide refers to the 10 remaining talent points. It you have trained everything except the talents I have mentioned, from the Demonology Warlock spec, here are the talents to train from Affliction and Destruction.

Affliction:

Doom and Gloom. This talent will boost the critical chance of your Bane of Agony and Bane of Doom by 8%.

Improved Corruption. This talent will increase the damage of your Corruption spell by 12%.

Destruction:

Shadow and Flame. This talent not only that improves the damage of your Shadow Bolt and Incinerate. It will also apply an effect on your target that will increase your spell critical chance against that target by 5%.

Improved Immolate. This talent grants 20% damage boost to your Immolate spell.

All in all, your Demonology Warlock spec for PvP should be 5/31/5. This talent tree grants you quite a few excellent PvP-oriented talents, like Inferno, Demonic Embrace and Metamorphosis, and you also get 10 points to boost your damage and critical chance by training 4 other talents.

I hope this post helps. Also, you can find here a great Warlock spec for leveling.
