The Affliction Warlock, from level 10 to 60
From level 10 to level 60 you place 51 talent points, one per level. This levelling order sets up curses and drains first: the first five points go into Improved Corruption, followed by Suppression and the drain talents. The build takes Shadow Mastery at level 35 and Pandemic at level 43, then finishes in the destruction tree with Improved Shadow Bolt, Bane and Shadowburn at level 60.
In total 40 points go into Affliction and 11 points go into Destruction.
Talent calculator and levelling order
The calculator below loads the level 60 build with its levelling order. The « Levelling order » panel lists the 51 points, level by level; « Replay » replays the climb, and the slider steps forward or back one point at a time.
Every talent and spell is detailed in the WoW Forever Grimoire →

The camp: the rested XP bonus you should never skip
Always level with a camp. The 
Basic Campfire Kit only needs Cooking 1, so anyone can set it up: it builds a campfire that cooks food and holds up to 3 camp features around it. A character who sits or crafts near the fire for a minute gets the effects of those features.
For levelling, the one to place is the 
Camp Tent: it gives characters sitting nearby 5% of a level in rested experience, unless their reserve already exceeds that. It needs a campfire close by, and all camp effects share a one-hour cooldown.
So set up the fire and the tent at the start of every session, again once the hour is up, and think of it before you log out. The tent is crafted with Leatherworking 20: if that is not your profession, ask a leatherworker in your guild for one. The other camp features of each profession are detailed in the camp section of our professions by class article.
Recommended professions for the Warlock
Two combos work for levelling this spec: each pairs a crafting profession with the gathering profession that feeds it. Every name opens its full guide.
Pick ONE combo, not two crafting professions. You get two main professions: while levelling, give them to one crafting profession and the gathering profession that feeds it. With two crafting professions you would have to buy every material, and you would struggle to level them.
Combo 1 · our pick
TailoringCrafting · read the guide →+
HerbalismGathering · read the guide →Tailoring makes 4 of the 5 crafted pieces in our pre-raid selection, including the Void robe only the tailor can wear. Cloth drops from the humanoids you kill, so the second slot goes to Herbalism, whose herbs sell to alchemists.
Combo 2
AlchemyCrafting · read the guide →+
HerbalismGathering · read the guide →No piece of our selection, but healing and mana potions to chain fights while levelling. Herbalism supplies the herbs for every potion.
On top, at no cost: the secondary professions do not take a main slot. Cooking 1 sets up the camp fire, First Aid makes bandages between fights.

First AidThese picks also aim at level 60 before the raids; the class-by-class detail is in our professions by class article.
