BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial

October 1 Beta changes for Warlock

Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes

Affliction Soul Harvesting was renamed Soul Harvest and now correctly grants its 50/100% increase to Mana regeneration.

Hellfire can now critically strike; Drain Soul now stops when the Warlock begins casting another spell.

Aggressive Mode returned for Warlock pets under the pet tab in the spell book.

The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.

Choose your Warlock route

Compare Affliction, Demonology, Destruction using the reviewed 1.60.1.70291 talent snapshot. Each full editorial route spends 21 points at Level 30; the retained Level 20 page compares eleven-point stages of the same current tree. Rank effects and the chosen point order are separate evidence; no simulation establishes a best route.

The three specialization endpoints spend 21 points at Level 30. Their selected ranks and point order are editorial examples, separate from client-derived talent facts.

Reviewed Warlock snapshot: 52 visible nodes from Wago client build 1.60.1.70291, reconciled against Talents Forever. All 149 rank descriptions are adapted from Talents Forever (CC BY 4.0, https://talentsforever.com), with community verification. Two active Warlock positions use explicitly reviewed row/column mappings; the original raw coordinates are preserved and those mapped positions have community evidence. The export resolves tooltip values at Level 60; it does not rescale them to the selected level or simulate damage. Level 30 examples spend 21 points; the existing Level 20 page uses eleven-point stages of this reviewed tree. One point per level from 10, five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the editorial point order remain derived planning assumptions. Original 69913 saves remain historical records and are not partially migrated into a changed allocation.
