    • Extreme PvE capabilities, being able to heal off of NPCs or damage them through walls.
    • Variety of strong gear options, such as the Shadow Mask.
  • Cons
    • Spells are usually weaker than other classes' spells

Name Description
Perk Antimagic.png
Antimagic
Your magic damage reduction is increased additively by 25% except against divine and curse magic. Does not display in details page as it is specific to some damage types.
Perk Curse Mastery.png
Curse Mastery
Your curses (Curse of Pain, Curse of Weakness, and Power of Sacrifice) use a new status effect which are altered to have 30% longer base durations. 10.4s for Curse of Pain, 13s for Curse of Weakness, 15.6s for Power of Sacrifice. This allows a Curse without Curse Mastery to be active on a target at the same time as a Curse that uses Curse Mastery. Curse of Pain's total damage remains constant, lowering the damage per tick, but increasing the number of ticks. Power of Sacrifice's damage per tick, however, always remains the same, increasing the number of ticks and the total damage.
Perk Dark Enhancement.png
Dark Enhancement
Grants +10% Magic Power Bonus for Dark Magic.
Perk Dark Reflection.png
Dark Reflection
When you receive melee damage, reflect 10 dark magic Damage to the attacker. 15 seconds cooldown in the form of a debuff. 100% Scaling.

Perk Soul Collector.png
Soul Collector
When dealing the final blow to an enemy, one dark shard is collected. Each collected shard increases Magic Power Bonus for Dark Magic by 10%, up to a maximum of 10 souls, lasting until and including the next Dark Magic spell is casted. When a spell consumes the effect, the entire spell's damage is affected by the bonus. Note that Dark Reflection is Dark Magic but Blow of Corruption is Evil Magic.
Perk Torture Mastery.png
Torture Mastery
When Curse of Pain or Power of Sacrifice are active on a target, any instance of Magical Damage Over Time from Curse of Pain or Power of Sacrifice dealt to the target will heal the Warlock for 1 Magical Healing. This healing is increased by the Magical Healing stat and the Warlock's Magic Power Bonus. This healing has 15% Attribute Bonus Ratio. Also doubles the health cost of spells.
Perk Vampirism.png
Vampirism
Grants a 1.2x multiplier to all Magical Healing. This multiplier is separate from Magic Power Bonus. Although Life Drain heals only based off of damage dealt, Vampirism does affect it.

- Warlocks don't rely on spell slots 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.
