Description

The Warlock is a brooding manipulator of dark magic. They sacrifice their life force to call upon unknown forces of pain and evil. A worthy adversary proficient in both magic and weapon mastery.

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 Blow of Corruption.
  • Excellent PvE capabilities, being able to heal off of NPCs or damage them through walls.
  • Great at boss killing due to their large hitbox remaining in Hellfire for longer.
• Cons
  • Spells are usually weaker than other classes' spells.
  • Highly susceptible to rangers which exceed Warlock's preferred range.
  • Poor tools for dealing with fast/aggressive classes outside of Phantomize.
  • 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.

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	Gain 25% Damage Reduction against all Magical Elements except Divine, Curse, and Neutral.
Curse Mastery	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. This allows a Curse without Curse Mastery to be active on a target at the same time as a Curse that uses Curse Mastery (with the exception of Curse of Weakness). 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 therefore total damage.
Dark Enhancement	Gain 10% Dark Power Bonus.
Dark Reflection	When you receive melee damage, reflect 10 Dark Magical Base Damage back to the attacker. 15s 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	Gain 25% Undead Damage Reduction and 25% Demon Damage Reduction
Immortal Lament	Casting spells will no longer be able to kill you; though can still damage you.
Malice	Gain 10% Will Bonus.
Shadow Touch	Melee hits deal 2 Dark True Magical Base Damage and heal 2 Magical Base Healing.
Soul Collector	When dealing the final blow to an enemy that is capable of dropping experience, one darkness shard is collected. Each collected shard grants 20% Dark Power Bonus, 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 them that are dealt to the target will heal you for 2 Magical Base Healing (5% Scaling). Suffer 3x Health Cost of spells.
Vampirism	Gain 20% Outgoing Magical Healing Mod.

You can equip a total of 2 skills.

Name	Description	Cooldown
Blow of Corruption	The next melee physical attack within 8s also deals 10 Evil Magical Base Damage (75% Scaling) (also benefits from Hit Location Bonus) to the target and causes them to suffer -80% Incoming Physical Healing Mod and -80% Incoming Magical Healing Mod for 12s. 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

Every 1s spent channeling causes you to be dealt -10% Percent Max Health Healing and grants 1 stack of 5% Physical Power Bonus and 5% Magical Power Bonus for 15s after the channel ends or is stopped, up to 10 stacks. All stacks are refreshed on gaining a new stack.	28s
Phantomize	For 6s gain 10% Move Speed Bonus and become untargetable, phasing through melee attacks, projectiles, and hitscan 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 and suffer -50% Magical Damage Reduction.	28s
Blood Pact	Assimilates the contracted demon after casting for 0.3s, gaining an additional 50 Max Health Add, 30 Armor Rating, and 30 Magical Resistance. Your entire body is covered in Abyssal Flame, sacrificing -1.5% Percent Max Health Healing and dealing 2 Fire Magical Base Damage (25% Scaling) per second in 0.2s ticks to enemies within 0.5m. Duration ends when Blood Pact is re-casted. Additionally, upon transformation consume all Darkness Shards to gain 1 All Attributes for each one 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 one handed combo that deals 5 physical damage (100% Scaling, 4 Impact Power, 100% Impact Zone Multiplier) x 200% Combo damage on every hit and slows the target for -20% Move Speed Bonus for 1s. Move at 65% speed while attacking and up to 4 combo attacks using both hands. Right-Click: Fire a bolt of darkness. (costs 3hp)	0.2s
Exploitation Strike	When using Blood Pact, this skill replaces the other equipped skill. Cannot be used outside of Blood Pact.

- 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.
