Warlock – The Fierce Enemies
by Henda2 on Oct.26, 2009, under General
The Warlock class is great to play. They are dark casters that use fire and shadow spells to devastate their opponents. They possess the powers of ‘the dark’ and therefore they are interested in demonology. Because of this they are able to summon demons like imps, succubus, fel hounds, void walkers and infernals. Locks are one of the two classes that can use pets and similar to the Hunter class, Locks too can have a pet by their side at most of the times if their build allows them.
To have a pet near you will make the game easier and will help you avoid damage most of the times. 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. The Warlock is also well-known for their DoTs aka Damage Over Time spells that can do a great amount of damage during a certain period of time. Click here to watch the video: WoW Warlock
Because of these spells, a good Warlock is feared in PvP, and can top damage meters in PvE. In PvE a Lock will mostly use his single target spells like Shadow Bolts while in PvP he will use DoTs and fear as well.
On top of a variety of damaging spells the Warlock has several other nice spells in his arsenal. One of these is the Dark Portal they can summon. The Warlock can summon a Dark Portal which can then be used to summon other players from anywhere on the world to the Dark Portal. However, in order for this spell to work, a Warlock will need help from a few other players in his group. This Dark Portal can be used similar like you would use the meeting stone in front of an instance.
A Warlock can also apply a Soul Stone on himself or others. If he or any other player has a Soul Stone applied he will be able to resurrect if he dies, right on the spot. This is very useful in raids and also can reduce the time of CR – corps running, even though its cooldown is 30 minutes. Soul Stone will come in handy to any Lock while he is leveling and also it is a “wipe savior” in any raid or dungeon group if placed on a player who can heal or resurrect.

This class is also famous for their Health Stones (HS), which have a purpose to instantly give back a certain amount of health to any player in its possession, similar to a healing potion. At the beginning, a Warlock can give the Health Stones to other players separately and on the higher levels he will be able to create a Soul Well where all the members of his raid or group can click to obtain one Health Stone. What is nice about the Health Stones is that they do not share the same cool down as Healing Potions which means that you can use the both of them in a longer fight.
The class of Warlocks is great to level up and 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!
