Warlocks can use daggers, one-handed swords, staves and wands in WoW Forever, the same list as Mages. They can't use maces, axes, fist weapons, polearms, two-handed swords or bows.
This comes from Forever's own game files: the client's weapon skill table (SkillRaceClassInfo, build 1.60.1) lists which classes can learn each skill. Blizzard hasn't published a weapon table of its own, so we checked the files rather than trusting Classic memories.

You still have to train it
Weapon skills are learned from weapon masters in the capital cities. If something on the Yes list won't equip, train the skill first. Every class is compared in our class weapons guide.
Stats over looks
Your weapon is a stat stick, since you won't be swinging it. Take the one with the most Intellect, Stamina and spell damage for your level.
Wand and pet
Between DoTs, a wand lets you finish enemies while your pet holds them. Our pet health guide covers keeping the pet alive.
