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.
    • Variety of strong gear options, such as the Shadow Mask.
  • Cons
    • Spells are usually weaker than other classes' spells
    • Highly susceptible to rangers
    • Teammates can kill your targets early before your able to heal with Torture Mastery
    • Weapons, while highly damaging, tend to be on the slower side

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
Perk Antimagic.png
Antimagic
Your magic resistance is increased additively by 25% except against divine and curse magic. Will not display in details page.
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, remains the same, increasing the number of ticks and the total damage.
Perk Dark Enhancement.png
Dark Enhancement
Grants +10% Magical 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. 100% Scaling.
Perk Demon Armor.png

Gain ability to wear plate armor at the cost of -50% spellcasting speed.
Perk Immortal Lament.png

Perk Malice.png
Malice
Will is increased by 10%.
Perk Soul Collector.png
Soul Collector
When dealing the final blow to an enemy, one cursed soul is collected. Each collected soul increases Magic Power Bonus for Dark Magic by 10%, up to a maximum of 6 souls, lasting until and including the next Dark Magic spell 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 25% Attribute Bonus Ratio. Also doubles the cost of spells
Perk Vampirism.png
Vampirism
Grants a 1.2x multiplier to all Magical Healing. This multiplier is separate from Magical Power Bonus.


You can equip a total of 2 skills.

Name Description Cooldown
Skill Blow of Corruption.png
Blow of Corruption
The next physical attack deals a separate instance of 15 Evil Magical Damage to the target and reduces outgoing healing performed by them by 70% 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.

- 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.
