Alter Curse of Pain, Curse of Weakness, and Power of Sacrifice to use a new status effect which have longer base durations. 10.4s for Curse of Pain, 13s for Curse of Weakness, 15.6s for Power of Sacrifice.

These Stats do not include starting armor.
- Warlocks don't rely on spell counts and instead cast spells by paying a fixed amount of health depending on the spell. Health management will play a bigger role for this class than for others.
- Any health spent to cast spells will leave behind Recoverable Health, allowing for restoration via Resting, Bandages, or a friendly Bard.
- Torture Mastery will heal you when dealing damage with Curse of Pain and Power of Sacrifice, and will benefit from Magical Healing on your gear.
- Power of Sacrifice can be used as a party buff or as a damage-dealer. Be wary that granting enemies additional Strength will give them more max HP as well, mitigating some damage dealt.
- Blow of Corruption is very powerful in both PvP and PvE. In PvP, it can be used to prevent enemies from burst-healing.
- Phantomize will protect you from most sources of damage, however floor traps, AoE spells (Holy Strike, Fireball, Lightning Strike), Zombie poison clouds, and any linger DoTs will still hurt you.
- If Hellfire is cast again whilst the Warlock's first Hellfire effect is still active, the first Hellfire will be deleted after the second one has finished casting.
