[PvE] Useful Warlock Resources

Introduction

This thread is a compilation of sites useful for understanding Warlocks, learning and improving, tools to analyse your play in raids and so on (adding more as more useful sites surface).

It also goes into some detail on how to look through logs from Warcraftlogs in order to spot basic problems in aid of analysing your play.

Community Sites

Lock One Stop Shop
https://lockonestopshop.com
Basically the Warlock bible and should be your first stop when picking up Warlocks or starting to improve your play.

Contains guides for all specs written in collaboration with several theorycrafters, sim data on talent combinations, trinkets and azerite traits, all maintained by said theorycrafters and other prominent Warlock players. Links to some streams of prominent Warlocks, both focusing on PvE or PvP, as well as home to large posts of feedback from Ghaddo, which is a good read.

Lock Discord
https://discord.gg/BlackHarvest
Discord run by Tibles, Ghaddo and Motoko foir the Warlock Community.

Huge hub of discussion about each spec, dedicated text channels for asking for help and pvp, etc. Definitely a good idea to keep an eye on for pins in each spec channel for important posts marked by the mods, as well as just discussion involving theorycrafters and top players.

-

Raidbots
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot
A site that uses SimulationCraft to present an easy to use simulation tool.

Allows you to simulate characters by its armory or using a SimC string to compare talents, generate stat weights or comparing and/or finding the top gear based on a SimC string.

-

Warcraft Logs
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/
The most popular WoW log site for raiding, with a growing M+ section.

Crucial tool for analysing your own raid performance and understanding how other players are playing well. Also a very handy tool for seeing what talents specs typically take, which specs are being typically played on certain encounters, as well as the general performance of the class/specs compared to all others (which you should take with a grain of salt when trying to improve).

-

WoWAnalyzer
https://wowanalyzer.com/
An analysis tool for Warcraftlogs logs.

Helpful for getting some general pointers on individual logs and presenting a lot of the raw information contained in a given log in a more concise and consumable format.

-

Wowhead
https://www.wowhead.com/
Huge site for your general WoW needs.

Not specific for Warlocks, but has a lot of general information on raids, dungeons, etc, a shareable talent calculator, the Azerite Finder for searching for gear with specific traits. Also a great resource for PTR updates and the like.
