Warlock – A Class for Everyone to Fear
The Warlock class is great to play. This class belongs to the dark side and therefore their spells are based on the shadow magic and fire magic. Since they are interested for the “dark arts”, they are highly skilled in demonology. Because of this they are able to summon demons like imps, succubus, fel hounds, void walkers and infernals. With this ability, Warlocks, similar to hunters, are able to have a pet at their side most of the times.
Moving through the game will be a lot easier if you have a pet around you since he will take most of the damage that comes your way. When it comes to their offensive abilities, Warlocks are damage dealers and their main spells, like shadow bolts, can cause a lot of damage. Another ability that contributed to the overall popularity of Locks is “fear”, which is can make their opponents run around for a few seconds without the ability to do anything about it. This powerful class is also popular because of their “damage over time” – DoTs spells which also contribute to the overall damage output of a Lock.

When he combines his spells and abilities right, a Warlock can become a tuff PvP opponent and one of the highest damage dealers in PvE instances and raids. The basic assignment of a Warlock in PvP is to fear his targets while at the same time he applies dots, while in PvE he is most likely to use his Shadow Bolt.
The Warlock has a large variety of spells and skills. One of the most frequently used skills is to summon a Dark Portal. This portal is used to summon players located anywhere on the map to the location of a Warlock. However, to complete the summoning, a Lock will need a couple of players to help him. The Dark Portal can basically be used similar to the meeting stones that can be found in front of instances.
Another helpful ability a Lock has is to place a Soul Stone on a friendly player or himself. If a player is Soul Stoned he can resurrect on the spot upon death. This spell comes very useful because it saves time of corps running and it has a cooldown of 30 minutes. While leveling it is great because the Warlock can keep it on himself all the time and if he is in a party the Soul Stone can be cast on a player that can resurrect others.

A Warlock can also create Health Stones which function as healing potions and are actually more powerful because they restore more hit points. On lower levels, a Lock is able to give these Health Stones separately to other players while on a higher level he can even create a special well – the Soul Well where his whole raid group can obtain a HS just by clicking on it. In a fight that is longer, Health Stones come in as really handy since they don’t share the same cooldown as the health potions.
As you can see, the Warlock class is great to play. You will be able to summon several different types of demon pets that all have their own unique abilities and fight by your side, you will have devastating spells and spells to fear your enemies, you will have several nice spells that can improve the Warlock’s party or raid’s performance and a lot more. If you prefer to play caster classes and would like to level up fast, this class would be perfect for you!
