Warlock talent trees at level 90
Warlock has 3 specializations: Affliction, Demonology, Destruction. This build uses Destruction. Its hero choices are Diabolist and Hellcaller. The hero selector changes only the hero branch. Your class and specialization picks stay in place.
Destruction points and unlocks
| Specialization | Tree | Talents | Points at level 90 | First point | Point gates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Destruction | Class | 42 | 34 | Level 10 | 8, 23 |
| Destruction | Destruction | 39 | 34 | Level 11 | 8, 20 |
| Destruction | Hellcaller | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
| Destruction | Diabolist | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
Available points are the sum of points earned at or below your chosen level. Each purchased rank costs one point in its own tree. Automatically learned talents cost no points. Points in your class tree cannot pay for talents in Destruction or either hero branch.
A destruction leveling example
At level 24, warlock destruction has8 class points and 7specialization points. Spending 8 class points above the first gate opens its next section, provided you complete the connected talents. Spending those points in Destructiondoes not open the class gate. Your first Hellcaller point arrives at level71.
Reaching the deeper destruction talents
Destructive Rapidity, Conflagration of Chaos, Chaos Incarnaterequire 20 points above the last Destruction gate. Complete the connected path as well. To move points out of that path, refund these deeper talents first. A refund that leaves fewer than 20 points above the gate is blocked while a talent below it remains learned.
Comparing Crashing Chaos and Rain of Chaos
These Destruction options share an octagonal node with 1 rank. Choose the effect you need, then learn the rank. Replacing one option keeps the same point cost.
| Talent | Effect at its first rank |
|---|---|
| Crashing Chaos | Summon Infernal increases the damage of your next 8 casts of Chaos Bolt by 25% or your next 8 casts of Rain of Fire by 35%. |
| Rain of Chaos | While your initial Infernal is active, every Soul Shard you spend has a 15% chance to summon an additional Infernal that lasts 8 seconds. |
Importing, exporting and sharing warlock builds
Paste a warlock loadout into the loadout box and choose Import loadout. It opens the matching specialization, including Affliction, Demonology, Destruction. For this Destruction plan, Export loadout includes your class picks, specialization picks and chosen Diabolist or Hellcaller branch. Copy build link also keeps your level. Hover or focus a node to read it, click to learn, and right click to refund. On a phone, tap the node and use Learn rank or Remove rank.
Retail uses separate class, specialization and hero point pools. The older talent calculators linked above use three trees that share one pool, so their build strings are not interchangeable. Game updates can change talents and invalidate older loadouts. Check the build and data date before reusing a saved plan.
