Warlock BiS lists for WoW Forever
Cloth ·
Warlocks share their gear with shadow priests and mages. What sets them apart is Life Tap. A warlock turns health into mana, so stamina acts as a mana stat.
Forever adds Troll warlocks. All three specs wear the same pieces; the spec changes only how much crit is worth.

Questions
Why does a warlock want stamina?
Life Tap converts health into mana. A warlock with more health can tap more, so stamina works as a mana stat.
Is there a Warlock BiS list for WoW Forever yet?
No. Raid loot is published with the raids on 9 December 2026 and the level 55–60 dungeon tables are not in the beta. Each spec page carries its stat priority now and gains its item list as each phase is datamined.
What armour and weapons can a Warlock use?
Cloth. Daggers, one-handed swords, staves and wands.
