Welcome to Wowhead's Leveling 1-80 Guide for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. This guide will cover leveling viability, tips and tricks, best leveling builds, leveling rotation, cooldowns, new abilities to train, best leveling gear, best leveling professions, and best consumables for leveling.
Leveling Overview for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Affliction is the recommended talent specialization for leveling in the Wrath of the Lich King. It offers strong overall damage output, and great sustain through
生命虹吸
. This is the go-to spec because it is a very well-rounded spec while also being very powerful.
恐惧嚎叫
will enable you to kill multiple enemies at once, and
恐惧
will even take out elite enemies that other classes may struggle with.
You will use
腐蚀术
and
痛苦诅咒
as your main damage abilities. Early on when you do not kill mobs with just these two periodic damage spells you can throw in
痛苦无常
and
鬼影缠身
as well into the mix. Due to the fact that damage over time abilities provide a lot of damage for their mana cost,
生命分流
combined with the self-healing from
生命虹吸
you have an incredible amount of sustain as well, bordering ridiculous.
Leveling Viability for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Affliction is the king of solo questing and grinding. We have as good as no downtime thanks to our passive healing along with
生命分流
. On top of that if we are geared significantly we can keep on chain pulling and running around with
腐蚀术
and
痛苦诅咒
. All this together makes it so that we are incredibly fast and efficient at questing and grinding.
Thanks to our many forms of crowd control via
恐惧
,
恐惧嚎叫
,
放逐术
,
疲劳诅咒
and the use of our demons we also have no issue at all tackling a lot of group quests which require the need to take down elites, this leaves us able to directly complete these instead of wasting time to form up a group.
Leveling Tips for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Be sure to level
急救
. This will provide excellent healing for yourself. Since warlocks have
生命分流
, having low health is the only thing that would slow them down and prevent a warlock from engaging another enemy right after killing the current enemy.
Be sure to use your defensive cooldowns like
邪能治疗石
when fighting multiple enemies.
恶魔灵魂石
should always be up in case you won't make it! Avoiding corpse running is very important while leveling, since dying wastes a lot of time to return to your corpse and resuming questing.
As you level up you will gain access to stronger gear and stronger quest rewards. Don't stick around running a low level dungeon hunting for a specific drop, just move on with the leveling process and you are likely to find something else along the way.
If you have
工程学
you can use
超级安全传送器:托什雷的基地
(gnomish) or
空间撕裂器 - 52区
(goblin) to quickly get to Shattrath City and from there go to your faction capital to train new spells, whilst keeping your
炉石
free to get back to Northrend.
Important New Skills:
At levels 4, 14, 24, 34, 44, 54, 60, 65, 71, and 77 you can train new ranks of
腐蚀术
, which makes a big impact on your character's damage output.
At levels 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58, 67, 73, and 79 you can train new ranks of
痛苦诅咒
, which makes a big impact on your character's damage output.
At levels 6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 68, and 80 you can train
生命分流
, a great ability to increase your sustain.
At levels 60, 70, 75, and 80 you can gain new ranks of
痛苦无常
.
At levels 70, 75, and 80 you can gain new ranks of
鬼影缠身
.
At level 30 you can begin the quest to gain the ability to summon your
地狱猎犬
. Different races have different quests to do this - be sure to visit a trainer.
Best Builds for Leveling as Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Affliction 60/0/0 Warlock DPS Talent Build
The Affliction Warlock specialization is incredibly flexible and you can not go wrong with most talents. Essentially you could give a monkey a couple of darts to throw at the Affliction tree and you would have a great leveling spec. All talents that increase the damage from our damage over time abilities are essential.
The only big difference compared to Affliction for endgame raiding is that instead of going into the Destruction talent tree to boost our
暗影箭
we instead go into the Demonology tree to pick up a little bit more survivability and self-healing through
强化治疗石
,
邪能共效
,
灵魂链接
and some quality of life through
恶魔支配
. However, you could as well just pick up your favorite Affliction talents instead to fill out the talent tree more, especially if you aren’t having any survivability issues.
If you are going to do a mix of open-world questing combined with dungeon farming, you could also opt to put your leftover talents into Destruction to boost your
暗影箭
. Note that this will be severely lacking throughput for dungeon farming and it would be suggested if you can to pick up duel talent specialization and use either Demonology or Destruction instead when doing dungeons.
Suggested talent progression:

Leveling Rotation for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Affliction Warlock DPS Leveling Single Target Rotation
While leveling you will primarily just worry about getting
腐蚀术
and
痛苦诅咒
up on the targets. At lower levels (or with poor gear) you can also add in
痛苦无常
to the mix or
鬼影缠身
, this should more than cover the required damage. You do not want to overkill the mobs by too much either as this would be a waste of mana and in turn efficiency.
地狱猎犬
vs
虚空行者
The go-to leveling demon is
地狱猎犬
for Affliction Warlocks. The
地狱猎犬
has high DPS and provides
邪能智力
both of which get buffed by
强化地狱猎犬
. Along with that the benefit of having
法术封锁
and
吞噬魔法
being at our fingertips.
虚空行者
still has a use as well, not so much for holding threat but rather thanks too
牺牲
. This comes in handy when dealing with really big enemy packs and or opponents that or not affected by
恐惧
.
小鬼
and
魅魔
generally have no use whilst leveling as an Affliction Warlocks.
生命分流
We can use rank 1
生命分流
or
黑暗契约
before combat to proc
生命分流雕文
, once you get the glyph. This provides us with a significant amount of spell power (depending on the amount of spirit that you have) for the next 40 seconds. Whenever we lose this buff or risk running out of mana we want to refresh it. In an ideal world, we never do this without the
生命分流雕文
buff active.
腐蚀术
腐蚀术
is our end all be all damage over time ability. A lot of our talents and set bonuses directly boost the damage from
腐蚀术
, things like
夜幕
and
根除
. If there ever are targets that live substantially longer we can use
鬼影缠身
,
吸取生命
, or
吸取灵魂
to refresh
腐蚀术
through
持久痛苦
.
生命虹吸
also causes a significant amount of self-healing through
腐蚀术
which increases our sustain in combination with
生命分流
.
痛苦诅咒
痛苦诅咒
is our second most important damage over time ability right after
腐蚀术
. Both of these spells are instant cast promoting a lot of mobility, in an ideal situation those two damage over time abilities are more than enough to fully kill a mob, meaning we can spam them all over moving from one mob to the next.
强化痛苦诅咒
also increases our total damage now in Wrath of the Lich King compared to only the base damage before.
诅咒增幅
reduces the global cooldown of curses to the minimum, increasing the number of mobs we can fully DoT up in the same time frame.
痛苦无常
痛苦无常
is an Affliction only ability. This spell deals periodic damage and should be used when we cannot kill the target with only
痛苦诅咒
and
腐蚀术
.
鬼影缠身
This debuff boosts the periodic damage caused by our
痛苦诅咒
,
腐蚀术
, and
痛苦无常
. It also deals a slight amount of direct damage, overall this isn’t too impactful or important, the biggest chunk of damage is from the 20% (23% with
鬼影缠身雕文
) boost to periodic damage.
鬼影缠身
can only be reliable up on a single target at once since it has a 12-second duration with an 8-second cooldown. Along with some travel time till application once cast it means you won’t be able to reliable multi dot this spell. It does provide another source of self-healing.
Affliction Warlock DPS Leveling AOE Rotation
Ideally, we are never dealing with single target focussed DPS whilst questing and doing solo content, we would always be doing a form of multi dotting as lined up in the above section about “single” target DPS. However, when we are doing group content like dungeons the choices open up, seeing as targets overall live longer and we aren’t the ones dealing with incoming damage.
What we do during AOE depends on the scenario we are faced with. There are three important variables when it comes to this: enemy density (stacked or spread) and enemy count (less than 4 or more) the last variable is how sturdy the enemies are (one-shot vs sustained AOE damage). These variables will determine whether (and how) we multi-dot/cleave or spam
腐蚀之种
. See the following table for a quick overview.
Legend:
– Spam
腐蚀术
.
– Normal rotation on primary target.
– Add
痛苦无常
if the mobs live long enough.
– Add
腐蚀术

根除
on some adds if the mobs live long enough.
– Spam

Cooldowns for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Warlocks overall don’t have a lot of cooldown abilities that can be used to temporarily enhance their damage output. Making it even more important to use the few that we have at the appropriate times.
The first rule of cooldown usage is to use them often. The more often you use them, the more activations you get and the more total damage you deal. The second rule of cooldown usage is to use multiple cooldowns at the same time. Most cooldown effects will generate more total damage if they are used at the same time as other cooldowns.
恶魔法阵:传送
闪电之纹
超级加速器
Racial abilities like
奥术洪流
and
血性狂怒
.
Activated trinkets like
永冻冰晶
,
玛格娅的谬论之笔
, or
水晶之心碎片
.
Triggered buffs like
焦黑暮光龙鳞
,
龙魂图典
, or
消逝的诅咒
.
Using multiple cooldown abilities at the same time will result in more total damage compared to using them one at a time. This is because the total damage gain from each cooldown will be increased by the effects of the other cooldowns.
超级加速器
makes you hit more often and
闪电之纹
makes each hit deal more damage, so using them together means you receive that bonus damage per hit on
more
hits.
New Abilities 71-80 to Train for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Level 71 -
腐蚀术
,
虚弱诅咒
腐蚀术
is our dominant damage over time ability, the more damage we deal the faster mobs die. The more mob die the faster we level.
虚弱诅咒
is the newly reworked combination of Weakness and Recklessness, whilst a potential valuable raid buff (although most often provided by other classes) it has no leveling utility.
Level 72 -
暗影防护结界
,
征服恶魔
,
火焰之雨
,
制造法术石
Most updates at this level have little influence on our leveling efficiency, overall you could easily skip going back to the trainers at this level.
制造法术石
arguably has the biggest impact, though it is only a difference of 10 spell haste. All the rest;
暗影防护结界
,
征服恶魔
, and
火焰之雨
, do not get used often during leveling aside from niche situations in which case the previous rank would do the job just fine.
Level 73 -
制造治疗石
,
痛苦诅咒
,
死亡缠绕
This level we gain some efficiency when it comes to our levelling speed.
制造治疗石
provides us with stronger self-healing, increasing our survivability.
死亡缠绕
plays a similar role and gives a tiny bit more healing and damage when we need to use it to get out of tricky situations. Whilst
痛苦诅咒
is our of our core damage dealing abilities for levelling, higher ranks of this will always be welcome.
Level 74 -
烧尽
,
制造火焰石
,
灼热之痛
,
邪甲术
,
暗影箭
Most of the spells this level won’t help us level up any faster.
烧尽
,
灼热之痛
, and
暗影箭
are all filler spells used during pure single target DPS, not something we do when we are in the open world questing.
制造火焰石
whilst helpful for Destruction Warlocks, is not something we use as Affliction.
邪甲术
is the only really worthwhile upgrade this level (from a levelling point of view).
Level 75 -
献祭
,
腐蚀之种
,
暗影烈焰
This is another level that you can safely skip going to the trainer. We do get access to
暗影烈焰
finally a complete new ability. It has a lot of use as it can easily be used on the move or as a finisher. You get use out of it, but you most likely should not go out of your way to get it at level 75. Whilst levelling we are multidotting primarily and rarely use
腐蚀之种
.
献祭
doesn’t get used all together by Affliction Warlocks as they use
痛苦无常
instead and you can only have one of either active at the same time.
Level 76 -
生命通道
,
魔甲术
,
制造灵魂石
A new rank of
制造灵魂石
, whilst this is an important ability, we don’t need the max rank of this ability to get a lot of use out of it. The most important aspect is coming back to life, independent of the amount of mana or health.
生命通道
can be useful situationally but most often
邪能共效
will be more than enough to keep our pets topped off.
魔甲术
does not get utilized in a PVE or levelling scenario unless you plan on facetanking a lot of things, overall
邪甲术
is the better option due to the increased self-healing and increased spell power. In short this is another level you can skip going to the trainer.
Level 77 -
腐蚀术
,
吸取灵魂
Whilst this level only provides us with two new abilities (and all the ones we previously skipped) it is worthwhile to get.
腐蚀术
is one of our core damage abilities whilst levelling up.
吸取灵魂
is the same but used as a finisher when we got to deal with single target mobs. Though overall you will be mostly dotting up different targets, chain pulling without time to stand still to cast
吸取灵魂
.
Level 78 -
暗影防护结界
,
地狱烈焰
,
制造法术石
,
死亡缠绕
,
吸取生命
,
疲劳诅咒
The closer we get to level 80 the more abilities we get, most likely to make up for the previous level only having two. That being said there isn’t a whole lot of important useful stuff (from a levelling point of view) this level.
暗影防护结界
and
死亡缠绕
provide us with upgrades for defensive cooldowns, but they aren’t game changers.
地狱烈焰
and
疲劳诅咒
will rarely be used during solo levelling, aside from maybe when we occasionally group up with others.
吸取生命
doesn’t get used a lot either for the same reason as
吸取灵魂
, and we should be getting most of our health back via
生命虹吸
.
完美法术石
we want to have up on our weapon at all times, but a previous rank of this will suffice, the only benefit of higher ranks is a tiny amount of spell haste.
Level 79 -
痛苦诅咒
,
灼热之痛
,
火焰之雨
,
暗影箭
,
制造治疗石
,
邪甲术
Most of the spells we gain this level have already been covered in previous sections, I won’t be covering them here again in general it is a worthwhile level to get upgrades.
火焰之雨
is the only one that has not been covered; but just as with
地狱烈焰
or
腐蚀之种
pure AOE spells aren’t important (from a levelling point of view).
Level 80 -
生命分流
,
厄运诅咒
,
献祭
,
灵魂仪式
,
烧尽
,
腐蚀之种
,
制造火焰石
,
暗影烈焰
,
恶魔法阵:召唤
,
灵魂之火
,
魔甲术
,
恶魔法阵:传送
The last but most important level! The relevancy of levelling efficiency is gone, be sure to respec to your preferred talent build and get every rank of your new abilities. The abilities most important this level are the new
恶魔法阵:召唤
and
恶魔法阵:传送
. These “two” abilities provide warlocks finally with some essential and must have mobility. A well-positioned portal can be a game changer in both PVE and PVP content.
Best Leveling Weapons and Gear for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
If you have gear from Burning Crusade raids like
祖阿曼
and
太阳之井高地
you won’t be seeing upgrades to your gear until well into Wrath of the Lich King. Certain items will last you until you enter heroics whilst others will only be replaced with new raid items in
纳克萨玛斯
. That being said if you are a newly leveled warlock or not quite as geared out, a lot of the Wrath of the Lich King quest rewards and dungeon drops will be a significant step up compared to your currently available gear.
The better gear we are the more damage per mana spend our damage over time abilities such as
腐蚀术
,
痛苦诅咒
and
痛苦无常
deal. The faster mobs die the less damage we take and the less healing we need from
生命虹吸
. This in turn results in being able to
生命分流
more frequent, and with more mana, we can cast more damage over time abilities. So goes the cycle of Affliction leveling efficiency.

Best Leveling Professions for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
Tailoring
With Tailoring we are able to make a couple of our own pre-bis items if we need. The biggest benefit comes in the form of the cloak enchant
亮纹刺绣
. This has a chance to proc
闪电之纹
which increases our spell power by 295 for 15 seconds. This makes Tailoring one of the best possible damage increasing professions for warlocks.
Engineering
Engineering has always been the gadget profession, and in WotLK they added a scoop up on top of that.
超级加速器
is a glove enchant which can be activated when we please, for an additional 340 haste rating for 12 seconds. Other direct damage increases can be seen in the form of
通用热力工程炸药
and
萨隆邪铁炸弹
which can be used during the global cooldown triggered from
生命分流
. I mentioned earlier in the guide that Warlocks suffer from a lack of mobility but
硝化甘油推进器
takes care of a big part of that by providing a massive boost for a short duration. And it doesn't end here, there is a ton more of utility items that engineering provides.
I would recommend you not bother with these until you are already level 80. For the leveling process I recommend that you pick a gathering profession like
剥皮
,
采矿
, or
草药学
to earn some extra gold while leveling up. You'll certainly need plenty of gold at level 80 to buy gems, enchants, crafted armor, and many other powerful enhancements to your character.
Best Leveling Consumables for Affliction Warlock DPS in Wrath of the Lich King
The most important consumable to have while leveling is a
超级治疗药水
. Every once in a while you will find yourself in a bad or unlucky situation while questing, and the healing potion will save your life. The potion will pay for itself just in saved repair costs, and save you a bunch of time since you won't be a ghost running back to your corpse.
Similar to the
超级治疗药水
but not exactly an emergency button, it is good to have a supply of bandages ready so you can quickly heal between combat.
厚灵纹布绷带
from the Burning Crusade] are good to start, but the new and improved
霜纹布绷带
and
厚霜纹布绷带
are better.
If you want to do even more than that, you can bring damage consumables like
超级能量合剂
is a fine boost to your damage, or you can opt for the very slightly better
纯粹死亡合剂
.

Hello, this guide is currently missing the recommended Demo talents. Is that intended? Any chance you could put them in? Thanks

Why is the talent tree only into level 69?
Can we also have the level by level attribution for 71 to 80?
评论来自
Tortureguru
I'd use something along the lines of this for a leveling build(check the talent order!).
WARNING this is a LEVELING BUILD! Not an Endgame Build!
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent-calc/warlock/2350022231213510253500331151-2-50003_001pwt11pxg31rpp41rpz/0BAFGcHkjjMjccrQVZTIouL444464ccPW2AE1A0n
This build is assuming you will play a drain tank style of Affliction while leveling up and takes Fel Concentration(If you aren't drain tanking or planning on leveling via dungeons, put the points elsewhere)!
I find Imp. Curse of Agony over Imp. Corruption at lower levels to be more efficient as stuff is lasting longer than 12 seconds and i was having to recast Corruption before mobs would die, whereas with Imp. Agony, stuff would be dead even with out recasting Corruption on mobs.
Imp. Drain Soul just isn't worth it if you are using a pet to deal any damage or if you group up at all as it just won't trigger if ANYTHING other than Drain Soul gets the killing blow.
Improved Fear really helps with juggling mobs via fear, especially at low levels! The mana return from Imp.
I skip Empowered Corruption (until later)mostly because we don't really see much spell dmg gear until after we head through the Dark Portal to Outlands. Take it soon as you do start getting some good SP gear though(just be sure to take Haunt asap)!
Everything else in the tree is fairly straight forward!
While testing on my new lock, I found the Glyph of Fear just wasn't doing as much as i hoped it would and swapped to Glyph of Corruption as the instant shadow bolt can come in handy. Can also go for Glyph of Shadow Bolt first if you prefer to hard cast it early on over dotting and fearing(or even even if you do, 10% reduced mana cost is a decent chunk early on). Amplify Curse is only really noticeable when you start to dot and fear juggle several mobs at a time which you can do at level 22 when you get Rank 2 of Drain Life which heals for a good bit more than Rank 1 at low levels, even with Soul Siphon talented as we only have 2 Affliction DoT's for a 12% Drain Life increase. As far as Minors go, Unending Breath is most useful as there are some quests that take you swimming while leveling up. Drain Soul could be nicer later on however the new Drain Soul has a chance to generate shards while channeling by default. More shards is never a bad thing, but watch out for when loot goes to get distributed and you don't receive your item due to your bags being full of shards!
EDIT: This post was for PREPATCH ONLY and MY experience with it. It is now mostly irrelevant, however will leave the post with my opinions as is.
As Lorilthiir posted, SP is king if you can find gear with it, especially for drain tanking. Other stats usually will work themselves out. That being said, unless you are running dungeons and crafting gear or able to buy it, it may be difficult to hit his 300SP before outlands though as they said, it's MUCH easier to find now in Wrath at lower levels than previously.
My lock at level 40 is sitting on 71 SP with mostly tailor crafted items and the occasional dungeon item such as
催眠之刃
. Questing and such I haven't seen nearly as much SP gear so perhaps I am just leveling in the wrong places or not going out of my way to find those niche SP quest item rewards or perhaps there's more of it between 40-58. Not to big a deal as I haven't been having all that many issues with my fearing one mob and drain tanking another.
As for "There is absolutely no reason to ever use fear or howl of terror when soloing as an affliction lock in general leveling (possibly when trying to solo an elite but even that is usually not needed). If you need to 'juggle fear' you are doing something seriously wrong (it's probably not having enough spellpower to drain tank properly)." As you said, not having enough SP is an issue. Which i clearly have run into. Again, I don't have every tailoring recipe on my lock let alone ever material required to craft said items, let alone been able to find grps for the dungeons with said SP gear such as RFD and am just working with the gear that I have been able to find/craft/win. So i fear juggle. It's viable and works for me. Only mention it as it may work for others who have also run into the 'low SP' bracket like i have.
Clearly I don't have the needed/required SP to be able to drain tank multiple mobs at a time so I will continue my fear juggling ways as needed until i either do have such or decide to go Demo when I am high enough to spec into the Felguard.
All that being said, play whatever feels good to play and works for you!

I'm sorry but this guide is just not up to the standards I expect from Wowhead. So many inconsistences. Not recommending Improved Drain Soul, when it's mentioned specifically in your rotation. Mentioning level 1 Life Tap before pull to trigger spell power buff, but not recommending the Glyph that enables it. It is just a hodgepodge of ideas that do not actually work together. You need to take an hour and fix it. Sorry, truth to power.

There is some incredible nonsense being posted in this guide and the comments.
1. In response to Torture guru: The idea that there isn't much spellpower on gear before outlander is insane, you very clearly aren't looking hard enough. I had 300 spellpower before I hit outlands and I wasn't doing dungeons. If you aren't close to 150 by the time you get siphon life you aren't even trying. Wotlk made a number of changes to lower level gear that makes it easier than ever to get large amounts of spellpower. Spellpower is by far the most important stat when levelling a warlock because it directly affects how much health you are able to gain back via siphon life and drain life. Every gear decision you make below the level cap should be based on what gives you the most spellpower, everything else will sort itself out.
2. In response to both the guide and Torture guru: There is absolutely no reason to ever use fear or howl of terror when soloing as an affliction lock in general leveling (possibly when trying to solo an elite but even that is usually not needed). If you need to 'juggle fear' you are doing something seriously wrong (it's probably not having enough spellpower to drain tank properly). once you get drain life you should be able to comfortably tank several or even 4-5 mobs with your face + the help of your void walker. Once you have siphon life, as long as there aren't a large number of non shadow based casters the only limit on the number of mobs you can pull is how far you can walk before you drop threat and some run way, you should not be dying, drain life and siphon life comfortably returns more health than your incoming damage even with 10-15 mobs on you, provided you have adequate spellpower. Improved howl of terror is a waste of 2 talent points
3. Drain soul is not useful in solo content - you do need to use it occasionally to maintain a few soul stones in your inventory, and sometimes you use it to speed things up when killing the occasional isolated single mob, but other than that you should be drain tanking, which means you should be using drain life when you've dotted everything and cast haunt. VS elite mobs you'll also need the extra healing of drain life. You definitely shouldn't be wasting talent points on improved drain soul - you get mana from life tap and dark pact, and you shouldn't be glyphing it - there are precious few uses for soul stones as it is, the last thing you want is even more of them in your inventory.
4. The talent section is a mess. First you talk about going down demo to get soul link, then in your description below for levelling beyond 70 you talk about getting nightfall, which doesn't leave you with enough talent points to take soul link. I'm not convinced nightfall is hugely useful when leveling, you generally don't want to stop using drain life to throw out a shadow bolt when drain tanking a bunch of mobs, and I don't think it's the most efficient use of mana especially if you aren't also doing the more dungeon oriented build - I would only take nightfall if I was doing the dungeon levelling version of the build and going down destro. I would also probably start taking some demo talents as soon as I got haunt then go back and fill in afflic - fel synergy at a minimum.
5. Now that we've established you don't need to waste points in improved howl, put one of those points in dark pact. Being able to gain mana without losing health is incredibly useful when you're drain tanking 15 mobs.
6. suggesting people take glyph of dark decay is absolutely insane. Dark decay is an endgame raiding glyph. Someone who is leveling a toon from scratch is not going to have haste on their gear until they start endgame gearing, other the trivial amount your spellstone grants, and a piddling increase in tick speed for ONE DOT is nowhere close to the damage gained from glyphing life tap instead, especially at lower levels. A possible exception might be players who are only leveling from 70 and have high end raiding gear from TBC (and even then I suspect life tap is the more impactful of the 2) but a well written guide wouldn't make that assumption, especially since a huge chunk of people will be coming to classic for the first time with the wotlk release.
7. the Rotation section is basically copied from the dungeon rotation section of the guide. This is the levelling section, don't you think people new to the class want to know what they should be doing when questing? because it's not spamming seed of corruption or shadowbolt, those abilities are almost never used outside of group settings. It's hitting as many mobs as possible with corruption and curse of agony, keeping haunt up on at least 1 mob, generally the most dangerous, and then sitting back and spamming drain life. If needed, tab target to either manually reapply corruption or do it with drain life/haunt once you have the talent. Sometimes you use unstable affliction - when fighting just one mob to speed things up or on a particularly dangerous mob. Send your felhound after casters and use shadow ward when applicable. Dark pact and life tap to keep mana up.
8. The section on gear to look out for when leveling is pretty bad. you should at least talk about all the great tailoring items even if you don't list them all (currently you really don't need to do a single dungeon to have basically the best gear you can below 58). You need to emphasise the importance of spellpower over other stats, and the weapons list is poor - below 40 the highest amount of spellpower will come from using an offhand item - there are multiple inscription crafted BoE's that are extremely cheap with substantial amounts of spellpower on them, these can be paired with a cheap green dagger or 1h sword from the ah with the 'of healing' suffix. At 40 the dark moon staff from the new decks crafted by scribes is trivially cheap to obtain and gives 30 spellpower, it will last till outlands. At 61 well heeled players should be purchasing blade of trapped knowledge - it has 68 spellpower - add a spellpower enchant and it will last till northrend. As a 1h item it can be paired again with an inscription book for even more spell damage.

Why don't you have talent progression from 10-80?

Pretty cool that the 1-60 guide is "push buttons and pick any talents" then the guide immediately skips over any kind of actual leveling advice. Maybe write a leveling guide that focuses on, *!@# i dunno. Leveling?
