Having posted the most popular talents for Hunters and Druids already, I’m moving onto Warlocks. This is based on 1078 level 70 Warlocks from my sample of the World of Warcraft Armory.

Read on for the details…

Here are the most popular Warlock talents for each build. Each column represents the characters with a particular build. I consider a character to be a specific build if they spend at least 31 talent points in the respective tree. The number in each row represents the percentage of characters of that build that spend at least one point in that talent.

So, for example, 82.9% of characters that have spent at least 31 points in Affliction spend at least one point on Suppression.
