Quick answer: Demon Skin, Immolate, Shadow Bolt, and Summon Imp become available at level 1. Across levels 1 through 60, World of Warcraft: Forever Warlocks can train 44 class abilities.

Every one of these abilities comes from a Warlock trainer. When you reach a level where something new opens, visit the trainer to learn it. Higher ranks of abilities you already know also open at set levels, and you learn those from the same trainer. Abilities granted by talents are not part of the trainer list. Those come from the talent trees, which are covered in the WoW Forever Warlock talents breakdown.


Warlock abilities from level 1 to 19

This range holds 19 abilities, the most of any bracket. Corruption joins at level 4, Fear at level 8, and Summon Voidwalker at level 10, the same level that brings Drain Soul and Create Healthstone.

New and changed Warlock abilities in WoW Forever

Blizzard’s class changes rename two damage spells, rework the Warlock’s stones and adjust how shards and pets work. If you know older versions of the class, these are the differences that change what shows up at the trainer and on your action bars.

  • Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom are now Bane of Agony and Bane of Doom. Each Warlock can keep only one Bane on a target.
  • Firestone and Spellstone imbue weapons and can be used alongside Wizard Oil. Firestone provides Fire damage and crit, while Spellstone provides Shadow damage and spell haste.
  • Curse of the Elements affects magic damage of every type; Curse of Shadows has been removed.
  • Drain Soul’s chance to give a Soul Shard keeps rising until it is guaranteed.
  • Demon pets scale from your own stats.
