World of Warcraft Background
World of Warcraft is a massive multiplier online role player game. World of Warcraft is played by millions of people around the world. The makers of World of Warcraft Blizzard Entertainment have created a game to where massive amounts of real human beings form communities inside different fictional realms. In this realms people choice what fraction their character will belong to, Alliance or Horde. In World of Warcraft each race belongs to one of the two fractions and only certain races can be certain classes. Each class has 3 different ways of playing that class called specializations (spec). Each spec is either a Tanking (having all enemies attack you so they will not attack your party members and soaking up damage), DPS (Damage Per Second) (damaging or controlling the enemies), or Healing (healing party members). These different roles are used for leveling, questing, pvping (player vs. player battles), dueling, battle grounds, and raiding. Everyone class as at least one DPS spec but only certain classes have tanking or healing specs.

The Warlock Class
Warlocks are mages that use the demonic arts instead of using fire, frost, or arcane. They are masters of the dark arts using curses, fire bolts, shadow spells, to combat their enemies. They also use their magic to make health stones, and buff party members. Warlocks unique in the way that they use Soul Stones perform some of the abilities or spells, such as summoning party members to their location, summoning their minions and converting soul stones to health. Warlocks are known for their DOTS (Damage over time spells) and curses. Warlocks kill their opponents slowly by cripplingly their opponents then kiting them around the battle area. Warlocks are also known for their minions that they control. They can have two sets of minions depending on if you choose to have the talent [Grimoire of Supremacy] which allows you to have the more powerful version of your minion.

=Minions:=

Warlocks can summon a variety of minions, each exhibiting different skill sets which are useful in different situations.

•	Imp is a warlock's first minion, providing ranged damage initially and useful passive abilities and procs at higher levels.

•	Voidwalker, available at level 8 makes an excellent tank for a soloing warlock.

•	Felguard, available to warlocks upon specializing in the Demonology tree, is a warrior-type tank that deals more damage than a Voidwalker, and has other increased tank-type capabilities at higher levels.

•	Succubus is a female demon that offers arguably the highest damage output. She also has two useful crowd-control abilities, [Whiplash] and [Seduction], and is very good for PvP.

•	Felhunter is a demon pet that increases the warlock's intellect through [Fel Intelligence] and also has some powerful magic debuffs that work both offensively and defensively. A useful PvP pet against caster classes.

•	Infernal is a temporary summoned demon that does a tremendous amount of AoE damage.

•	Doomguard is a temporary summoned demon that does a tremendous amount of direct damage to one or two targeted enemies.

Destruction
