Re: Newbie Warlock Looking For Advice

In general, I open with Curse of Agony, followed by Corruption, since
they're quick to cast. Immolate is next, after the VW has engaged so I can
cast without interruption. Plus, it's just fun to set things on fire. I've

I've been using a similar strategy to level my lock, and I'm currently up to
level 53 now. The biggest difference between us is that I'm demonology spec,
whereas it sounds like you've mixed the talents around a bit. Re-speccing
might help you a bit (it's cheap the first time you do it). For example,
you've got two points in improved imp, but you use your voidwalker. You use
your wand, but you have points in improved shadowbolt. Getting all those
points in one spec will help a lot.

I never user healthstones that much, and rarely did I have to heal my
voidwalker until I started getting into the harder battles. My usual strategy
was to pull the mob using CoA and then send in the void when the mob was
about to hit me. Shadowbolts would occasionally draw aggro off the void, so
like you I stuck to using my wand most of the time. Occasionally when grouped
in a dungeon I'll toss out the big shadowbolts, but when soloing it's always
the same:
CoA
send void
Immolate
Corruption
Wand until dead (re-applying DoTs as necessary)

IMO, a demonology-spec warlock is one of the easier characters to level. I've
tried several so far (warrior, rogue, mage, ...) and you can't beat the
warlock who comes equipped with her own personal tank!

You also have to pay attention to your gear -- when I first started playing,
up until about level 20, most of my gear was +spirit, because +spirit gear
seems extremely plentiful. Paying closer attention and getting +stam gear
instead made a big difference.

Finally, you didn't say what your profession is. I'm an engineer, which has
given me some useful stuff including my mechanical dragonlings which,
although they have a big cooldown, have saved me lots of times when I needed
a bit more firepower. tailor/enchanter are also recommended professions
because you can make your own cloth armor. Finally, pay attention and get the
right enchants put on your armor -- for example, +stam enchants when
possible.
