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.
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. |

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.
All bolded numbers are automatically updated; however, non-boldened phrasing/numbers are written manually by the community. See Class Ability Documentation for more.

Is there any headshot damage multiplier for Ray of Darkness?
On shadow touch tooltip it says 0% scaling on the healing but not on the damage. Does that mean zou cna boost its outgoing damage with perks and items ?
how does true magic dmg affect ray of darkness is it per tick or does it add to the overall dmg
Can sorcerers enjoy the bonus of Shadow Touch after transforming into demons
I noticed that in the tips section it stated that phantomize prevents most form of damage except for aoe spells(and magical effects) and ACTIVE floor spikes. If you activate floor spikes with phantomize active don’t you take damage from them anyway?
I feel like shadow touch is a must run on warlock unless you're going only spell. If you haven't tried out the Kris dagger with shadow touch and bloodstained it's a great combo. It's only 1hp a swing if you're hitting your blows, and the additional 7 magic damage you get on the kris dagger makes a lot bigger difference due to attack speed. Something I'm very curious about and would like to test though (since it could further heighten this combo) is if another warlock hits you with blow of corruption while in demon form. Since the demon form tick damage is defined as negative percent max health healing, and blow of corruption's 80% reduction does effect max health healing in some capacity, would it reduce the drain?
I could see a Warlock duo going no spell, full plate, blow of corruption and demon form. If you hit in hand with blow of corruption, it should only do about ~10-12 damage with plate armor (maybe even less if you use a really bad dagger on super high armor rating), and if the 80% reduction does take effect, it would be (150 average max hp -> 1.75 hp a second over 12 seconds is about 21 damage) but with reduction would only amount to about 4 damage over 12 seconds. To top this all off, if one of the warlocks forego blow of corruption to go lifesteal spell, I think you could easily out-tank a barbarian because life-steal wouldn't be affected by blow of corruptions 80%. I wouldn't necessarily know the stats, but with demon form does warlock have the highest potential armor rating? Finding a way to minimize the health cost could be very strong.
What percentage of your damage do you heal with life drain? Also how does it scale with true damage, additional, etc.
Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Archer, Wizard,Cleric,Bard,Warlock, Druid and When Necromancer release date?😢 My favorite Necromancer!!!😭
Firewalker claims 5 DPS divided into .2s ticks I believe it should be 25 DPS divided
Says it does 12 damage per sec but only does 10 .example if I should be doing 19 DPS on paper I'll really be doing 10
I understand this skill, but it requires a lot of sacrifice. I think this skill needs a different duration because you lose all your life for just 15 seconds. If you don't have a buff duration set, it's impossible to rebuff. I think it's a very bad design.
诡异盾吸收的魔法伤害量能不能吃到魔法伤害加成而增多?还有持续时间能不能收到能力点影响而延长
Can someone make a list of all “Removeable Magic Buffs,” I want to see all the spells I can remove with this to see where it would fit in.
How does True mag dmg work with ray of darkness and flame walker?
I assume the true mag dmg doesnt happen every tick so does it add to the total and then start ticking?
Is curse of weakness works for mobs or bosses?
Do Curse of Pain stack?
If it doesn't stack with magic healing, does it stack with Magic Power Bonus (f.e. MPB affect cleric healing and torture mastery)
Does armor rating from my human form (including buffs to various stats) transfer to my demon form? i.e. Demon form takes more damage without my human form's tunic
Does Shadow Touch work work for Demon form?
Do perks that effect only dark magic damage buff dark reflection as well, even tho ingame description says its only ,,magical damage" ?
Is blood packed +1 all Atrabuties a passive that applies to human form or does it apply only to demon form?
does "vampirism" affect "Torture Mastery" and "Blood Pact"
Will casting spell predation remove the the effect from health potions or any other potions?
I used Dark Ray with the casting time increased by about 40%. By default, Dark Ray deals 12 damage per second, so in theory it should kill the Goblin Archer with at least two uses. However, when I used Dark Ray in this state, it took 4.5 uses to kill the Goblin Archer. What is the relationship between Dark Ray, casting time, and damage ratio? It seems strange that increasing the casting time weakens it.
Is there a level requirement or quest completion necessary to get the longsword from the squire on warlock? Right now I have to rely on finding one in the dungeon and then end up dying in PVP because I don't have enough opportunities to practice longsword.
Exactly which stuff are consider "Magical Buffs"?
Thank you in advance!
Does flame walker and hellfire are affected by fire mastery from wizard now that multiclass is here ?
Is the Abyssal Flame and Exploitation Strike affected by Magic power?
Does anyone know how to calculate how much you heal per tick with magic healing gear with curse of pain and power of sacrifice? For example if you have 4 magic healing do you heal for 5 a tick (1+4 additional magic healing)
Does the magical damage scale ?
Does anyone know the Scaling on Blood Pacts Immolation?
Does blow of corruption do bonus damage to headshot?
Is Exploitation Strike affected by Vampirism?
What is the attribute scaling for Shadow Touch? I.e.: if I have +2 magical healing, do I now heal 5 HP on every hit?

last time i tried it did not summon or work, but still took the hp as if it were doing something?
Is using the crystal sword with the warlock worth it? Or is it better to use a crystal ball and a single-handed weapon? Or try another combo?
Does the warlock still get trapped during phantomize with a ranger trap?
Does True Damage Apply to any spell including Perks like Dark Reflection?
Does anyone know the formula for calculating the damage of the Ray of darkness ?
On the description of Dark Reflection it says that it does "Magical Damage". Doesn't imply is Dark Magic Damage. Also when combing it with Soul Collector what I notice, (not sure if is a glitch), the souls are not consumed when taking damage.
does ray of darkness does more dmg wen head shot???
Why does this exist in a state like this, it can't attack and has 0 synergy with any other warlock spell skill or perk? Anyone know if it atleast reveals invisible enemies?.. could be such a cool spell, right
Does Dark Enhancement make spells do more damage?
Can I heal myself or at least break even when using Power of Sacrifice on myself with Torture Mastery? Or do I only heal from it when used on targets other than myself?
If im reading this right you can get 40% bonus damage through perks for bolt of darkness. If it scales 100% and you get 24% by default then you can open with 164% bonus on your first BoD after collecting 6 souls. And if i have 20 bonus magic damage the. Im hitting for 57. Is this right? Is this good?
Does Dark Reflection benefit from Soul Collector ? From the description of Soul Collector i would say no because it say ,,lasting until the next Dark Magic spell is casted" and I doubt that procing Dark Reflection counts as a ,, casting ".
Does anyone know how +additional/true/bonus magical damage scales with dark magic damage?
Does buff from Dark Enhancement work on Dark Reflection ? It should, right ? Another question, does Dark Reflection scale with any other bonus damage sources like will ?
I noticed in that Dark Reflection does not consume any charges on soul collector when hit (Tested on mobs, not players). Does it still benefit from the buff or do they not synergize?
Just bought the game, trying Warlock as my first class. Help me with some clarification on some perks/spells.
Does BoC synergize with Soul Collector? (I think the answer is no)
Dark Reflection immediately goes on cooldown for 15 seconds when you are hit?
Does Vampirism increase Torture Mastery healing?
Is Power of Sacrifice suppose to be used on yourself ?
is it a flat 15% or +15% of what you have?
Troll's aoe slam into ground deals magic damage aoe, so it kills you in Phantomize
Does the damage buff also scale or does only the self damage scale?
Is phantomize duration affected by buff duration stat?
Do you do agro in phantomize ? Can you use it to agro mobs to enemy player like with hide ?
Do Blow of Corruption and/or Dark Reflection scale with magic power? Do they benefit from + Magic damage?
it says here that Power of Sacrifice deals 3 magic damage per second, does this mean that Power of Sacrifice it scales from additional magic damage and from the magic power bonus?
Is it possible to cast Curse of Pain on someone multiple times and have the Agony stack? It would be sweet to be able to get massive amounts of healing from Torture Mastery.
Blow of Destruction is super good. A little magic damage and a falchion can go a long way with it. Phatomize is great for mob management/gathering if you get overwhelmed. I would think in the end Falchion/Orb with spells would be better but its been fun so far.
