Warlock leveling

[Deleted]

Hey,

I'm looking for opinions on what you all think is the best spec and race to go about leveling a warlock (full heirlooms, alliance).

Thanks

Anything you'll have fun with tbh. Leveling itself is pretty easy all around.

I think, gnome warlocks are the best for the alliane. Spect..don`t know..

Worgen locks are pretty scary lookin. Also I'd say demon if you want easy mode leveling.

I recently leveled my lock to 65 and found affliction was super easy, i could pull around 10 mobs and dot them all up and they would die while corruption was healing me

Orc for bloodfury and 5% pet damage, or troll for 20% haste CD, last I checked troll was the best race for affy and destro.

EDIT: Didn't see alliance only, and having just glanced at the alliance racials, the only good one for locks in pve is worgen's 1% crit. The only other one that even approaches beneficial is gnomes 5% mana. Alliance really has terribad racials for lock pve xD

I pretty much destroy everyhitn pretty fast as destro...
Affl-Tab and dot and ur done
Demon-same thing cept ur demon helps aoe them down same damage over all
Destro-immolate corruption conflag tab spam soulfire works as well once you can spec into it (with soulburn and shadowburn)

A few quick suggestions:
- Affly tends to be too slow for leveling, simply cause by the time you place DoTs - Destro or Demo would take the mob down to 10% HP.
- Affly NO LONGER has the self healing it had before - in fact, it seems to be the lowest of 3 specs right now (after the Drain Life nerf).
- Demo has awesome survival and epic AoE, which tends to be incredibly useful in 60-80 when you severely overpower the mobs your level.
- Destruction has some really good nuking and CC capabilities, 99% of the time the mobs will NEVER come near you.
- Get Glyph of Fear and use Fear whenever you face more than 1 Mob - it is always faster to play safe, instead of corpse running or eating.
- Demo can easily solo 5man quests - there will be almost no quest that your VW or FG can not tank, especially when u get Doomguard/Infernal.
- Dest has access to Shadowburn, which is awesome for cheap mob killing (especially when glyphed), and it gives you 3 shards back (instant soulfire ftw).
- Warlocks get almost NO use from spirit - only out of combat MANA regeneration. Better go for Intellect and Stamina and use Life Tap and Soul Harvest.
- Intellect is by far your best friend. If u have a choice - always take one with more Intellect (as far as leveling goes).
