Since many of these abilities cannot crit as well, the value of spell crit is drastically reduced compared to the PVE stat priority. Because of this spell damage, and specifically, shadow damage is incredibly strong for warlocks in PVP. The bulk of your damage will come from Corruption, Curse of Agony and Siphon Life (when specced into it). Having more stamina also indirectly increases your mana capacity due to Life Tap Warlocks are the hardest to kill spellcaster in the game due to our heals, inherent damage reduction from things like Soul Link, and this stamina value is all the more important to allow you to do great things as a warlock. ![]() The other massive difference between PVP and PVE gearing is you actually care about your health pool in PVP. As a warlock, spell hit is not a mandatory stat because it only affects your nuke, and you aren't using this ability that often, and through rank 2 of Suppression, you can hit the required spell hit levels for all your affliction spells, including Fear. These "Spell misses" will show up as resists in the combat log. You only need 3 % because spell casters can never reach 100% spell hit, and you will always have at minimum 1 % spell miss chance no matter how much hit you have. Without the talent Suppression, you only need 3% spell hit to cap your abilities like Corruption and Curse of Agony, and you will always need this 3% spell hit for abilities like Searing Pain. The biggest difference is the reduction in spell hit needs, as the hit cap for level 60 is significantly lower than level 63 mobs. To get a full breakdown of stats, check out the guide here. Gearing your warlock in PVP is similar-ish to gearing in PVE. Its advised you at least run 20 to counter Mark of the Wild. The only major advantage comes from Doomcaller's Robes, Doomcaller's Mantle, Doomcaller's Footwraps due to the spell penetration. They are lower on stamina than the primary pvp set. The set bonus is not worth running the whole set, and the stats are focused primarily on PVE rather than PVP. With AQ40, you will get access to Doomcaller's Attire. If you are dueling in this scenario, and you would like to circumvent this gear, then you will need to adjust your spell penetration accordingly. ![]() As such you shouldn't use more than 72 spell penetration if at all possible, as this is the most any person will actively use unless they are doing something cheesy like running with lots of shadow resistance and a Ultra-Flash Shadow Reflector. While this is nice, this is only relevant in most situations for Shadow Resistance due to the prevalence of Shadow Protection, and against warlocks with their Demon Armor. For every one point of Spell Penetration, you will negate 1 resistance value on the target, up to 0 resistance. This will directly counter a player's resistance value. With phase 5, there will be more gear coming from Ahn'Qiraj, and a new mechanic added to the game called Spell Penetration.
