Description

Looking for a description to be written. Warlocks in Dark and Darker are...

Class Info

Weapon of choice: A mixture of magic weapons (orbs, books, etc...) and/or melee, depending on the build.

• Pros
  • Spells cost health, not charges, allowing for nearly unlimited casts.
  • Has access to anti-healing
  • High melee burst damage, with a variety of strong melee options.
  • Extreme PvE capabilities, being able to heal off of NPCs or damage them through walls.
• Cons
  • Spells are usually weaker than other classes' spells
  • Highly susceptible to rangers
  • Poor tools for dealing with fast, aggressive classes
  • In order to heal off PvE, you have to leave them alive, which can be dangerous if another party shows up
  • Melee weapon options are often slow

PerksSkillsSpellsGearStatsTips

You can equip an additional perk every 5 levels. Currently maxed out at Level 15, so a total of 4 perks can be equipped.

Name	Description
Antimagic	Your Magic Damage Reduction is increased additively by 25% against damage that has one of the following elements: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Light, Dark, Evil, Air, or Spirit. Note that Damage Types not in this list include Divine, Curse, and Neutral Magic.
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.
Dark Enhancement	Grants +10% Magic Power Bonus for Dark Magic.
Dark Reflection	When you receive melee damage, reflect 10 Dark magic Damage to the attacker. 15 seconds cooldown in the form of a debuff. 75% scaling.
Demon Armor	Gain ability to wear plate armor at the cost of -10% Spell Casting Speed.
Infernal Pledge	25% Damage Reduction from Undead and Demons
Immortal Lament	Casting spells will not take you below 1 health.
Malice	Will is increased by 10%.
Shadow Touch	2 true magic damage and 2 magical heal on melee hit. Affected by Vampirism. 0% Scaling
Soul Collector	When dealing the final blow to an enemy that is capable of dropping experience, one darkness shard is collected. Each collected shard increases Magic Power Bonus for Dark Magic by 20%, up to a maximum of 5 stacks, lasting until and including the next Dark Magic spell/perk is casted. When a spell/perk consumes the effect, the entire spell/perk's damage is affected by the bonus.
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 2 Magical Healing. This healing is increased by the Magical Healing stat and the Warlock's Magic Power Bonus. This healing has 10% Attribute Bonus Ratio. Also triples the health cost of spells.
Vampirism	Grants a 1.2x multiplier to all outgoing Magical Healing. This multiplier is separate from Magic Power Bonus. Although Life Drain heals only based off of damage dealt, Vampirism does affect it. Completely unaffected and independent to scaling.

You can equip a total of 2 skills.

Name	Description	Cooldown
Blow of Corruption	The next melee physical attack deals a separate instance of 10 Evil Magical Damage (75% scaling) to the target and reduces outgoing healing performed by them by 80% for 12 seconds. If no attack is successful, Blow of Corruption will only remain active for 8 seconds before deactivating and entering cooldown. (Damage scales with 100% of Magical Damage) If an attack is blocked by a shield, it will consume the skill buff without dealing damage. If the weapon is blocked at the hilt, no damage will be dealt but the buff will not be consumed.	24s
Dark Offering	Channel for up to 10 seconds. Each 1/10th of the Channel duration (as the channel is affected by Casting Speed) spent channeling sacrifices 10% of Max Health and grants a stack of 5% Physical and Magic Power Bonus that will last 15 seconds after the channel ends or is stopped.	28s
Phantomize	For 6 seconds become untargetable, phasing through melee attacks, projectiles, and hitcan Magic (Zap, Lesser Heal, etc.). During this period you can only move and do not collide with other players or monsters, but are still vulnerable to AoE damage. During this state, Move Speed Bonus increases by 10%, and Magic Damage Reduction is reduced by a flat -50%.	28s
Blood Pact	Assimilates the contracted demon after casting for 1s, gaining an additional 50 Temporary Max Health, 30 Armor Rating, and 30 Magic Resistance. Your entire body is covered in Abyssal Flame, sacrificing 1.5% of Max Health per second and dealing 2 Magical Damage per second (25% scaling) to enemies within 0.5 meters. Duration ends when Blood Pact is re-casted. Additionally, by consuming Darkness Shards, you gain +1 All Attributes effects for each Darkness Shard consumed. When you become a demon your other skill is replaced with Exploitation Strike but you can still equip weapons. If no weapon is equipped, use a handed attack that deals 5 physical damage x 200% Combo damage on every hit and slows the target by 20% for 1s. Slowed by 20% while attacking and up to 4 combo attacks using both hands. Right-Click: Fire a bolt of darkness. (costs 3hp)	2s
Exploitation Strike	When using Blood Pact, this skill replaces the other equipped skill. Cannot be used outside of Blood Pact. Hits apply a damage over time that causes the target to receive 4 Evil Magical Damage (100% scaling DOT)to all enemies hit with a physical attack over 4 seconds and heal the caster by 5% (max of 30) of the target's Max Health	28s
Spell Memory	Allows you to memorize spells to use in the dungeon.	/
Spell Memory 2	Allows you to memorize spells to use in the dungeon.	/

The order in which you select spells will determine their Spell Memory priority. You can right click spells to "forget" them, and you must drag and drop a spell to memorize it. Spell tiers determine their spell memory cost. Warlock spells cost health to cast.

- 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.
