Warlock specs and the Troll demon

Last checked: 2026-11-12

A Warlock is the cloth pet caster. The three trees on Mobalytics are Affliction, Demonology and Destruction. The Forever change that is not a Classic reprint is Troll Warlock, named on the product page among the six new combinations. Alliance options in the IGN article are Human and Gnome, with Gnome as the recommended Alliance race. Horde options are Orc, Undead and Troll, with Orc suggested when you care about damage and Troll when you care about cast speed.

“How to change your demon’s name” is the query that gave this class its page, about 320 searches in the research file. I looked for an official explanation and did not find a Blizzard help page that states the click path. I will not invent a menu. Demonology is the spec that centers the pet, and the pet’s name is a client option if your client exposes it. That is as far as I will go without a source.

Soul-shard rules and Affliction tuning numbers were not in the hotfix posts I read. The 10 and 11 Nov posts name Druid, Hunter, Paladin, Priest, Shaman and tailoring bags. Warlock is absent. I treat that as no Warlock line in those two posts, and I do not fill the gap with a damage ranking.
