How To Play Warlock: Learn The Stats & Fight!

[@grizzlydynamics]

FYI: 1 Agi does not relate to 1 MS anymore as stated at 6:33. 2 Agi = 1 MS. That's why flat MS is the better stat these days.

[@barryhaggerty1663]

FYI uncommon rawhides still give 3 knowledge (have less resourcefulness than rare) so even more budget friendly

[@Klevergamer]

Thanks for the guide man. Pretty much brand new to the game with less than 30 hours. Have had some success in shitter squire gear PvP, but anything past it, I get absolutely smoked. I didn't really know how to put a good kit together, but I'm gonna focus on all the stats you showed! Also, I'll be trying to get some troll kills because that looked insanely easy to replicate. Appreciate you, bro! This game can be pretty daunting as a complete noob.

[@SirSmoken]

@@Klevergamer might be a little outdated as far as torture mastery goes but it still works fine to get started

i got my first troll kill thanks to your first video, thanks a bunch dude!

[@SirSmoken]

Oh shit that’s awesome! Keep grinding

[@frost5890]

Finally a complete warlock guide. Thank you!

[@Rhyazan]

Nice guide! Would like to see some guide that helps how you can tell which items to pick and which to leave behind. I mean equipment wise, not treasure-wise :)

Just got myself Occultist boots 5 ms 2 agi for 150g what a steal , watching those guides or any class guide shows me how crazy expensive some items really are lol. Will prob try some solo lock thanks to you

Giving me the confidence to try out Cave Troll. I can kill all minibosses already and did kinda ok in inferno too. Probably gonna die, but it's all a learning experience.

[@whiteraven550]

Just got my first Troll kill. Always died to the charge after the shout, but i figuered casting the Hydra on its feet gets it basically stuck.

[@BLaCkKsHeEp]

i recently started playing an i heard about the server "wipe" what does that do exactly? will my character start back at lvl 1? will all my stashes disappear? my gear and gold in stash will disappear?

[@damianduarte6116]

yes, but that will happen at the end of the season, you can see a timer on the leaderbord wich is currently unavailable since the season just began

[@BLaCkKsHeEp]

@@damianduarte6116 so just to be clear, absolutely everything will reset including quests? no point in saving gear/gold for "long term" play. basically like Diablo's seasonal vs eternal realms

[@dallastrapregiment8936]

@@BLaCkKsHeEpcorrect, each wipe sets all quests, levels, and inventories back to zero

How is your squire gear so good? Is there a way to get better squire gear?

[@NSBA1337]

Complete quests and you will get more stuff.

[@88Spint]

Man warlocks clear mobs quick :D

[@uzmari]

so when when you're in a pvp fight you don't ever want to cast Power of Sacrifice right? because it would buff their health and damage? i'm not a the point where i have Hydra unlocked yet

[@SirSmoken]

power of sac can be used in pvp but i highly discourage it because if you miss you will hurt yourself a decent bit. more of a high risk high reward spell but i usually just stick to using it on mobs to heal

[@SlCKNESS_]

@@SirSmoken What if you're a longsword chad and know how to parry, is the 15 str from sac not actually really good damage-wise? To buff yourself I mean. Or do you think your opponent will see you self-casted sac and just not engage for 12 seconds?

[@SirSmoken]

@@SlCKNESS_ yeah I mean if you want to it’s up to you. A good player would probably just run away from you that point. But if you get a curse off on them then the sac won’t do as much damage

[@shooper3472]

Whats the difference between magical power and magical damage bonus

[@kenzej8710]

It scales differently, check out the wiki's Stat page

[@SirSmoken]

I’d go check the wiki for stuff like that but they effect the same thing but magic power has diminishing returns at some point

[@shooper3472]

you should make a video on the new warlock buff that just released!!

[@pappajoe6825]

Buff or nerf? Curse healing is basically gone now due to the triple cost instead of double

[@hashstalker]

Lol. Low gear above 125 gear score and you will fight with guys in legendary gear ;)

[@jamestinyp]

I’ve been playing warlock for awhile but how can I possibly kill a magic based speed cleric? They’re hitting 320 ms, even with full true and ad I can’t do any damage, curses last like 2 seconds it counters you to the point they can w you with no fear. It’s the only thing I consistently die to

[@eccsubs2179]

spam flamewalk I guess, it's kinda just rock paper scissors though so some matchups are nearly impossible

[@by__z]

idk i get the knowledge shi for spell cast speed but u also need to build will - i build for 50-60% magic power and just rock ppl + with add magic dmg or true magic dmg.

[@jamestinyp]

@@by__z will is a dead stat compared to build + add or true and raw magical damage bonus on gear. Will scaling isn’t what it used to be to be so it’s better to get it in other ways and use it as a second or third down on items except for the mystic vestments for the ms difference. Can easily get 40-50% magic damage without using anything but the vestments base will item

[@pepsiman4418]

Could i ask if warlock beats Druid?

[@SirSmoken]

I’d say warlock counters Druid the most because one curse of pain stops them from turning rat form. Flamewalker stops them from getting close to you in rat. Only thing that would be scary is a full agi Druid using panther and you get caught off guard

[@pepsiman4418]

@@SirSmoken Thx so much for the answer!! I guess I’ll main warlock then :D

[@LeakysTV]

So usefull to know for what stat to aim as a new player, can you do this for every class?😂

[@blazerashbringer2001]

next high roller guide please

[@kainapro]

How did u regen HP ?

[@SirSmoken]

I’d recommend watching my starter guide. You heal from power of sacrifice and curse of pain when you have torture mastery equipped

[@mythcrafts]

they should be able to let f2p player able to list items in the market place, if they do that then there will be a lot more items to buy

[@SirSmoken]

it would make cheaters be able to infinitely trade each other with F2P accounts

[@xVIsAsx]

Why do your spells do so little damage to yourself? I get more damage

[@Mioriosi]

My question is how to play a warlock in a trio I seem to not know what my role is when I’m with my teammates

[@SirSmoken]

I’m not too familiar with trios tbh but warlock is pretty much its own unit so I’d say playing a frontline using your hydra to clear space for your team and once you are about to be in danger after spamming curses you phantomize and fall back so an actual frontline like barb or fighter or bard even can takeover and clean up while you go to a more annoying back line dps

[@jelle9379]

what about warlock in teams? do i get rid of flame walker for bolt?

[@TheJasperson]

Yes. Flame walk in 3’s does as much harm to your team as it does to the enemy team. In 2’s it’s not bad, you just have to communicate with your duo and be smart with how you use it.

[@Runemaggi]

Yooo! Advanced guide when? Everyone makes "budget" builds. No one shows the best way to drop 10-20k on a kit.

[@SmokeyButter]

THIS IS GOATED 🐐

[@grok_gamma]

Imo this guide is slightly wrong in a solo perspective of a player that doesn’t know how to properly play warlock. If you play solo, you want 310 move speed. That’s it. Knowledge is important but if you are too slow, you’ll just get killed by any barb or fighter, hence throwing your 650gold kit through the window. In trio cast speed is much more important though. With enough move speed you can keep the spacing between you and ennemies and that’s the only way to survive for caster warlock. Bolt of darkness, nope. Get Dark Reflection and Soul Collector. First fighter coming up to you, he will be hit by over 50 damage.

[@SirSmoken]

nah i'm not telling people that don't know how to kite properly to take off your clothes and hope to not get 1 tapped. Need some sort of foundation for people to learn properly. Then once they get more confident they will understand those things.

[@socjocinus]

Yeah ofc new players gonna invest 5-6k every game(they will die a lot) to even play.... Good video but i miss some of gear score ideas

[@toxicmagnaguard]

The tips are the same no matter how much you spend. Increase knowledge and health, move speed if you can. That’s it.

[@socjocinus]

@@toxicmagnaguard Health? LoL Move speed-->true magic damage-->magical healing-->knowledge-->will

[@SirSmoken]

@@socjocinus gotta give some sort of framework for people to feel more confident jumping in to practice. Move speed is the most important stat in the game but it’s hard to focus getting to 310-315 as a caster when it’s more important to get knowledge and damage at the beginning. knowledge, true mag damage, max hp, then your will/magic power bonus would be last priority. Magic healing scales like dookie even in my best kits I usually have 6 max cause I’m not using the occultist hood as it makes you slower for barely no reason. Stay tuned for the next one
