for those who have one, is it good?
can you tell me the goods and the bads of it ^^

thanks.

Since you ask a general question:

Brief:

Warlocks are masters of shadow, flame, and demonic power. They are a robed class that excels at plaguing their enemies with disease or curses, hurling bolts of fire or shadow energy across the battlefield, and summoning demons to aid them in combat. While warlocks are powerful casters that deal damage from a distance, their demonic powers can also protect or support their allies in battle, or even summon other players from across the world using ritual magic to conjure portals.

Warlocks have both powerful damage spells (primarily dealing over time) and debuff spells that work well in conjunction with each other and with the abilities of their group mates. They have Curses for many occasions; in fact, they can easily be considered the best debuffers in the game. Their pets, too, help with the damage dealing and grant the Warlock extra abilities to put to use. They can also control crowds well with Seduction and Banish, and provide limited support in the form of their summoned stones.

Tips:

Now that you know the basics of the Warlock, you have to learn how to play the class. At the start of combat, you will likely want to cast your DOTs and tell your pet to attack the enemy. Next you will cast other spells and possibly Drain Life to bring your health back up. Then, if you want a Soul Shard, you will need to cast Drain Soul right before the monster dies.

# Cast several DOTs on the monster, then cast Fear on it. As the monster runs away, hit it with direct damage spells.
# Use Fear if you pull too many monsters at once. Be warned that fleeing monsters may bring friends back with them, so use Fear carefully.
# Demon Trainers sell grimoires which you can buy even without the pet. You can right-click on it at any convenient time with the proper pet summoned to teach the pet the new spell.

-This is all from WoW and what i used for my char.

Brief:

"Hatred is my power and execration is my life. You will feel the real power of my curses when you are full of hatred."
There are many kinds of magic in the world, and they have developed in different shapes. Most magic uses strong force or shocks people to show their power. However, the so-called "Warlocks" are known to achieve their goals by placing curses on enemies, weakening their capability, or reducing their will to fight. Since their skill is based on Wizards' skill, they use mana, too. Wizards utilize mana to control elements of nature, whereas Warlocks utilize mana to enhance the power of hatred and thereby to reduce the power of enemies. They gradually destroy the power of enemies by placing curses, weakening, paralyzing them and putting them in chaos. They also utilize Wizard's skill to control elements of nature to directly damage enemies and make them in abnormal status. In addition, they have a skill to utilize blood to weaken enemies. For example, they take blood from an enemy to recover their strength.

-Next time, browse the web then ask a more detailed question ^^.


Thanks

im a lvl 30 warlock rod and im quite happy with it
warlock doesnt hit as hard as a wizard but still every mob i hit is 3/4 dead.. make em stun and than i poison him a bit xD easy
but warlock rods have much passive skills you have to buy before you can use skill... cost much sp

but shield is very usefull and im often the one who gets the drops of giants because of my poison skills i often take more hp of giants im hunting some lvl 30 mobs now and i hit em with my ''nuke'' skill and my doggie hits it one time (lvl 29) and mob is dead...

for ..... set item share

btw warlock is a weird build, though possibly quite good at higher levels.

I'm lvl 30 too now. Warlock is at this moment for me a very nice build. Whar Raven sad is right. Warlocks have a lower attack than mages, but i die not so often as mages. My friends (those are mage) die realy often if they are ighting with a party mob of there own level. Is just do all my DOTs and just drain the energy if i can't use my HP pots. Than you realy can survive it as a Warlock.

1 Tip : A Wolf is realy usefull if you are warlock because they just do the final attack if you only use youre 'nuke'.
