World of Warcraft - Warlock

In the face of demonic power, most heroes see death. Warlocks see only opportunity. Dominance is their aim, and they have found a path to it in the dark arts. These voracious spellcasters summon demonic minions to fight beside them. At first, they command only the service of imps, but as a warlock’s knowledge grows, seductive succubi, loyal voidwalkers, and horrific felhunters join the dark sorcerer’s ranks to wreak havoc on anyone who stands in their master’s way.

Warlocks can ignite distant enemies in searing flame, send them fleeing in terror and pain, or afflict them with corrupting diseases and curses that steal the victim’s vitality.

These practitioners of the profane are feared across Azeroth, and many who have felt their wrath now prefer to fight alongside a warlock than against one.

WARLOCK INFORMATION

Warlocks burn and destroy weakened foes with a combination of crippling illnesses and dark magic. While their demon pets protect and enhance them, warlocks strike at their enemies from a distance. As physically weak spellcasters bereft of heavy armor, cunning warlocks allow their minions to take the brunt of enemy attacks in order to save their own skin.

  • TYPE: Ranged Magic Damage Dealer

  • STANDARD BARS: Health, Mana

  • AVAILABLE ARMOR: Cloth

  • AVAILABLE WEAPONS: Daggers, One-Handed Swords, Staves, Wands

WARLOCK FEATURES

PETS

Warlocks bind demons to their will; these infernal denizens defend their masters with their lives or rain death upon their enemies

CURSES AND DRAINS

Warlocks are able to curse their foes: slowing them, crippling their combat effectiveness, and weakening their resistance. They can also drain enemies’ health to rejuvenate themselves.

RANGED DAMAGE

Warlocks deliver fire and shadow damage with their spells, and they’re able to hurt others both instantly and with ongoing afflictions.

SOUL SHARDS

Warlocks can drain enemy souls and use them to empower their own spells, making them swifter or more deadly.

WARLOCK TALENTS

Warlock talents can improve the damage of their searing magics, increase the potency of their curses and persistent damaging spells, and empower their demonic servants.
