WoW Forever Affliction Warlock Enchants and Consumables
Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).
Wowhead wrote this while the beta was capped at 30, so it covers levelling. Level 60 picks are their projection [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Warlocks get an extra layer in Forever: Spellstones and Firestones are now weapon imbues (like Rogue poisons) and stack with a wizard oil. Life Tap covers most leveling mana, so mana potions are for long fights. Use a Spellstone from 36. Affliction's damage is almost all Shadow.

Enchants
| Slot | Pick | Needs | Gives |
|---|---|---|---|

- Revelation fits any melee weapon, staves included. DoT ticks can't trigger it, and the proc chance falls as your crit rises.
- For Affliction Warlock, an armor kit on the chest beats every chest Intellect enchant for damage.
- The bracer Healing Power enchants and the Spell Power necklace enchant are new in Forever.

Potions
| Kind | Best by level (5 → 55) |
|---|---|
| Spellblasting (combat) | Minor 5 (+6 SP) · Lesser 15 (+9) · Spellblasting 25 (+14) · Greater 35 (+20) · Superior 45 (+28) · Major 55 (+40) |
| Mana | Minor 5 (160) · Lesser 14 (320) · Mana 22 (520) · Greater 31 (800) · Superior 41 (1200) · Major 49 (1800) |
| Healing | Minor 1 (80) · Lesser 3 (160) · Healing 12 (320) · Greater 21 (520) · Superior 35 (800) · Major 45 (1400) |
All potions share one cooldown.
Healthstones (Minor 10: 120 · Lesser 22: 300 · Healthstone 34: 600 · Greater 46: 960 · Major 58: 1440) are on their own cooldown. The level shown is when you learn to conjure them.
Elixirs
| Kind | Ranks (level: effect) |
|---|---|
| Spell Power | Minor Arcane 1: +5 · Lesser Arcane 25: +15 · Arcane 37: +20 · Greater Arcane 47: +35 |
| Mana regen | Minor Mageblood 5: +3 mp5 · Lesser 25: +6 · Mageblood 40: +12 · Greater 55: +20 · Wicked Regeneration 55: +10 mp5 and +9 hp5 |
| Intellect | Lesser Intellect 25: +6 · Greater Intellect 37: +25 · Intellect 45: +10 |
| Max health | Minor Fortitude 2: +27 · Lesser 25: +120 · Fortitude 45: +200 · Greater 55: +400 |
Forever has no Stamina elixir; the Fortitude line raises max health directly. Spell Power elixirs give the most damage, Intellect mostly adds mana, Mageblood cuts drinking.
Warlock extras: Elixir of Shadow Power (level 40, +40 Shadow) stacks with Greater Arcane Elixir; use both from 47. Fortitude elixirs also mean more health to spend on Life Tap.
Weapon buffs and stones
| Line | Ranks (level: effect) |
|---|---|
| Wizard oil | Minor 5: +15 SP · Lesser 30: +25 · Wizard Oil 40: +30 · Brilliant 45: +36 SP and 1% crit |
| Spellstone | Spellstone 36: +14 Shadow, 1% haste · Greater 48: +17, 2% · Major 60: +21, 2% |
Food
| Level | Spell Power food | Intellect backup |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Smoked Sagefish (+4) | Twice-Spiced Raptor Slice (+3, level 5) |
| 25 | Briny Seafood Stew (+14) | Raging Raptor Ribs (+10) |
| 35 | Nightfin Soup or Spotted Yellowtail (+22) | Raptor Rouladen (+15) |
| 45 | Baked Salmon or Lobster Stew (+28) | Soaring Pamplona or Bat Hachee (+20) |
Every buff food also gives +5% kill XP while Well Fed, and only one Well Fed buff is active. Westfall Stew (Westfall) and Sweetpaw Jam (Hyjal) give +15% run speed in their zone only.
Intellect food is a fallback only; Life Tap already covers your mana.
Situational potions

| Bad pull, need to run | Swiftness Potion (level 5, +50% run speed) |
| Stuns, roots, slows | Free Action Potion (20, 30 s immunity, doesn't clear existing) · Living Action Potion (47, 5 s, clears existing) |
| Sneak past a pack | Lesser Invisibility Potion (23, 15 s) · Invisibility Potion (37, 18 s) |
