holy shit. a guide that actually treats you like a new player. Not a "Beginner guide" with some words about build then 75% of the video is you stomping new players?! How did you even manage to come up with such a unique idea. Thank you. This was so EXTREMELY helpful.
21:26 The exit is below the tunnel you were in. If you turn left toward the dragonfly, past where the mummy pops up, it drops into a room full of water and zombies. Immediately behind you as you drop out of the tunnel is a barred wall. You can tell when the exit's open because the light from the blue torches will shine up into the tunnel. 30:20 Don't listen to him. Take up the Longsword and become a chad. It is your infernal destiny.
Not even finished the video. It's litteraly the best type of Giude/Tutorial possible for beginners not like others, you have details about the class and how everyone with any class can play. Really hope this guy get the most out of it cause in 22 years of living i've never seen someone doing ''his job'' this well for others. The detail on speed/range/time cast etc. Just well done keep it up and keep your passion dude. Have fun playing everyone.
Glad it helped! A friend of mine also taught me a ton of stuff that changed since I put 250h of playtime in (such as the squire) and I just wanted to pass it on :)
US West: There are dozens of us! _Dozens!!!_ My recommended spells for single memory starter Warlock: Curse of Pain Power of Sacrifice Flame Walker Bolt of Darkness Hellfire Heelfire costs a lot of memory, but the first four can fit on pretty much any Warlock. Once you've figured out Magicak Healing vs. Magic Power and how they effect your spells, take the Hydra.
this is such an amazing video for getting started as warlock, I really really hope you can make this a kind of series for all the other classes since how you explain the class, the abilities, and what you're doing in a run is awesome! as a bonus note, pain of sacrifice increases vigor and strength, while vigor primarily boosts HP, strength does as well by a little bit per point. c:
Amazing guide! Loved how easy but still informative of a guide this is, tried warlock as my first and got absolutely mauled. But after this guide, it helped me a lot.
Dayumn, this is a very helpful build! I have played since beta but just got back now starting as a Warlock and I still learned a lot from this video. Thank you very much!
awesome video, would love to see an "intermediate" warlock guide; like what to do after this (gearing, when to dip into HR). im still pretty new and started as fighter. only class i really have problems with are warlocks so today im making one lol
I just started playing and this video helped out a lot. You explain things extremely well. I just subbed and I'm excited to watch more of your content.
If you are actually a brand new total beginner do this instead. First passive take shadow touch because it will reward you with health for successful hits on the enemy. For abilities when you are just starting run Phantomize and Blow of Corruption. Phantomize is a get out of jail free card that will help immensely while you are learning to kite mobs incase you back yourself into a corner. Blow of Corruption is an instant win button. If you hit a single player with this they will most certainly go running, and if they don't you'll probably just quickly finish them. I only recommend that set up to brand new players because you have no business worrying about casting spells when you're still dying to basic skeletons. Once you've learned how to fight mobs drop Blow of Corruption and pick up spell memory. For spells slot Curse of Pain, Power of Sacrifice, Hellfire, Hydra and Dark Bolt. Once you have spell memory make sure you start running vampirism and torture mastery passives for the extra healing. At this stage you shouldn't be needing blow of corruption at all, most of your damage will be coming from your spells. Hydra and Hellfire can turn you into a PvE god, you can go to hell for the first time and comfortably kill every single mob by body blocking them with hydra and spamming hellfire. With the changes to magical healing you also only need an occultist hood and you can place your hydra, cast both curses (CoP/PoS) and heal for more than you spent to cast. At this point you only ever need to bring 1-2 health pots/bandages because you can infinitely full heal yourself with your own spells. I've hit demi in solo/duo/trio every single leaderboard on warlock using this strategy and it frankly turns the game from a scary dungeon crawler to a run around and have fun simulator.
@@Chillvein Make sure you always run an occultist hood for huge mag healing, currently I believe just running a blue hood is enough to profit heal off your own hydra. There's just no replacement for the hood. For gloves either go with Rawhide Gloves or Mystic gloves. Rawhide will give you knowledge which makes you cast spells faster and Mystic will give you more magical healing. Generally I just run Mystic because the more mag healing the better, but if you have a purple/legendary hood you could just run the Rawhide ones. Occultist boots are a must, they give Will and Knowledge which gives again more cast speed and also more spell damage with the Will. I'd aim for getting a double health roll on these or a heal/move speed roll. For pants I prefer Loose Trousers with again a double health roll or an extra mag power roll. The downside of Warlock is that you'll get steamrolled if you take any fight head on so I always build high move speed and just kite while spamming curse of pain. Chest piece I go for Occultist Robe, stacking max health is the most important thing you can do in this game and the Occult Robe gives vigor as a base stat. Any roll here is fine, +mag healing +will +health +mag power really just whatever you can get. Cloak just go Adventure or Vigilant. Adventure will give you more move speed and Vigilant will give you more Vigor, either is fine. If you run the Vigor cloak i'd pick up Quickness Rings for more move speed, and if you run the move speed cloak i'd pick up Rings of Vitality for more Vigor. For neck i'd either run a Phoenix Choker for an easy source of true mag dmg or a Necklace of Peace for more health. Nothing beats stacking health in this game and it's Warlocks resource so it's important to be over 130 minimum. For move speed you want to be over 305 book out and 315 book away or you just won't be able to kite people. You can't take fights up close or you'll fold so building move speed and spamming curse while running is your only choice. In fights against fighters/barbarians I'd use phantomize as a way to kite instead of getting out of a tough spot. Curse them 2-3 times and once they get close just hit phantom to create enough of a distance that you can curse more without being in melee range. Stacking crazy high mag healing is cool, but you already don't hit hard so ideally you're focusing on getting +true mag dmg enchants everywhere you can. Jewelry is the easiest place to get true dmg. You'll see a lot of videos of people stacking 15+ mag healing but there's a point where it doesn't matter anymore. I can do the same stuff at 6-8 mag heal that they're doing at 15 but instead i'm stacking more true mag dmg.
dude i really dont think this is the greatest advice for new players, you kinda hype up the starting build talking about how boc is an instant win button but thats really not true at all, and actually misleading. I agree with the idea of simplifying the class's mechanics to make new players be more easily introduced to the class but actually the phantomize boc loadout is the hardest loadout warlock can play precisely because it has less mechanics to take advantage of. The simplicity of the build is a two edged sword because there are less tools at their disposal.
Could you please do a progression guide tutorial? Loved your video nice clear and concise but would love a series like what to do other than extracting and vendoring stuff? When should we newbs be trying to go to the minibosses or what’s the end goal we’re working towards? What’s high roller and is it worth doing? Etc. lots of questions!
This video was great, man. I haven't had any luck with warlock last pacth even, tho i have over 600 hours. I've been playing Barb and fighter, yeah i know a meta slave but I've been inspired to play Warlock again cause of your video, man.
Hey! Thanks for the guide it's immensely helpful, the guide honestly made me like the game even more since I was just about to quit because I kept on dying so much!
Hey man thanks for the little tips like the squire and dodges and such. I died more than i thought to mobs and zone, this helps so much!! great video 👍
Imagine if he was on open mic. How funny would it be having a guy next room talking all the time like "and btw guys this is how you kite enemies :) and next were gonna jump that player hiding in the dark next to me :D" Also now Torture Mastery has 3pled costs, anyone know if its still good? Also thanks sm for the quest log, I was aware it existed but didnt know about the accept all quests/fill all items stuff.. I was clicking through the merchants 1by1 like an idiot 💀
"Hello guys, today, I'm gonna teach you how to kite this Timmy in the next room over. He doesn't know I'm inside the walls here and can hear his every breath."
thanks dude this was not only an insightful guide on warlock but also the mechanics of the game i just started 4 days ago & yes dead in the first 20 sec on first few rounds (damn frost archer & goblin archers lol)
bro even though im new, im constantly asking people if they need stuff, I LOVE this game btw! ty for this guide its helped me alot, and I usually play barbie, but warlock is making me moist lol.
The only thing I would change is the melee loadout I would use the healing staff to buff up that torture mastery and also add to new players something with a shield can block curses
Torture Mastery is no longer optimal after Hotfix 54-1, which increased the spell cost multiplier from double to triple. New warlocks are now better off running Blow of Corruption and Phantomize until they gear up enough for spells to be useful.
I'd disagree with Hellfire. It's fantastic for zoning and killing mobs, especially for quickly clearing out entire rooms by grouping them together. Plus it can break doors and any envoirmental blockades
@@SolomonDandD cool, i did try it as a noob myself, it really made the mob clearing ez and safe. I was suprised at how safe it made me feel when I pulled too many mobs and just dot em up and led them into fire walk and hellfire. :)
Hello, I have a question, the money only used to buy more equipment and nothing else? Why do I want to loot if all I can do is buy more things? There's something I'm missing in the game's loop?
You can also use it to buy more stash space. But yes - the core gameplay loop is just get money -> get decked out in high tier gear -> kill other players with that gear.
What perks up until lvl 15 would you recommend now as a new player as it seems torture is triple now? And would the spells still be the same? Thank you!
I recently started Warlock, I recommend the heal-on-melee one at first now. Leveling I’ve been partial to boost Dark Beam through shards and the like: you can use curses w/out to pull and soften up mobs, melee refunds health from spells and mistakes, and you have a Death Star ready in your pocket for offending player or dangerous mobs.
What build f2p player being on "no gear" side should be going in your opinion? Spell based seems to need a lot of stats like knowledge and magical healing for example so im not sure tbh if its good idea.
to be fair the Curse healing is not that item intense since there are dedicatet + magical healing items (the white gloves and the occultist hood or how its called) and knowledge while nice is not something you have to have a lot of Though you do suffer if something can stay on you like a rogue If you wanna be able to do even better with relatively bad gear going for Longsword can be top tier though you need to be realy good at parrying if you want it to be a equalisier and once you actualy have a lot of gear you usualy switch to a hydra lifedrain build from my knowledge
Lol - dont know if its a thing in dungeons and dragons! Which I think is what you're seeing me saying. D&D also stands for Dark and Darker - and yeah they did that on purpose.
@@SolomonDandD I just noticed that when choosing gear, you still chose gear that had -movement speed, that's why i asked. Another question: do multiple curses stack on the same target?
So I have a different tactic than most people who are min/maxing their kits. I go in empty handed and just put on items based on their sell value. Then when I get out I sell all of that and do a new squire kit. I only kit up when I'm going in giga-juiced to stomp other players. Basically the equipment slots I use as extra inventory.
@@SolomonDandD hmm I started dark and darker yesterday and im having a rough time lol, I saw the patch notes warlock got a heavy nerf all over it seems, maybe I stick to + 10 will at the beginning insteed?
Thank you for the guide i got every gear i'm #1 high roller i never die, meme aside i got a question i read in game high rollers been changed i think? before if u die it took out your points but now not anymore?
I disagree with a bunch of choices. The shield makes you to slow. You wanna kite at all times learn it as fast as possible use a Crystal Ball instead find a Kris if possible. For skills you have to pick Phantomize especially early game. The amount of times I survived using that skill is insane. Literally the best perk if you dont have anything again especially early game (Imo the best Skill in the game next to Second Wind). Perks. I would 100% pick Shadowtouch over Torture Mastery first (Shadowtouch 1, Torture Mastery 2, Vampirsim 3, Curse Mastery 4). Helps with PvE and it heals you a decent amount every hit useful especially with a fast weapon (Kris).
Hello new player here! i think they nerfed warlock cause now torture mastery does not double instead he triples the cost, is this guide still viable or would you change something? great video man it helps a lot!
He has 9 points when he starts the run, you just pick up items with Knowladge stat on your run and expand that, put spells in your book regardless of your limit. Your level doesnt affect that, lvl 1 or 33 your base value is 9 for maic memory, its all in a gear.
@@SolomonDandD any idea why lifedrain sometimes just doesnt work? I hold the cast until the bar is filled, aim at a skeleton right in front of me, and nothing happens. what am I doing wrong lol
They are moving away from battle royale for the main game modes and moving towards extraction looter as a genre. Sounds like they will be reintroducing the circle in arena.

My recommended spells for single memory starter Warlock:
Curse of Pain
Power of Sacrifice
Flame Walker
Bolt of Darkness
Hellfire
Heelfire costs a lot of memory, but the first four can fit on pretty much any Warlock. Once you've figured out Magicak Healing vs. Magic Power and how they effect your spells, take the Hydra.

nice to see pro players doing content for n00bs like me, thanks :D
awesome video, 31 minutes felt like 5 minutes
Could I ask if the warlock would be best for a “paladin” spellcasting + melee playstyle?
Cleric is probably best for that. Cleric with a good set of plate armor is as powerful as a power class in direct combat.

fantastic guide, been looking around for some today. Thanks for the info man

Thanks for the guide video, was trully helpfull man!!
I'd disagree with Hellfire. It's fantastic for zoning and killing mobs, especially for quickly clearing out entire rooms by grouping them together. Plus it can break doors and any envoirmental blockades
how to know if a spell is hitscan or projectile ? not only on the warlock btw
any chance of an updated list because they changed torture mastery
Im gonna do a lifedrain build example. Lifedrain is better for everything other than god tier kits now.
Question - in goblin caves do the blue portal exits show on the map where they will be at the start of the delve?
Yes if you wander around and look at the map u can see blue map markers. Portals are for 3 players all other blue markers are exits for 1 person only
wonder how this one aged.... do you still recommend torture master for beginners? Now that the cost is tripled rather then doubled.
Nah definitely recommending lifedrain now.
@@SolomonDandD cool, i did try it as a noob myself, it really made the mob clearing ez and safe. I was suprised at how safe it made me feel when I pulled too many mobs and just dot em up and led them into fire walk and hellfire. :)
03:45 You might want to add an annotation comment in your video that all spell costs are tripled now.
Annotations were sadly removed half a decade ago.
It's true
Hydra costs 24 hp to cast now. Would you still run hydra over something else?
Perfect guide, thanks a lot dude! 🙂Played as a fighter until level 70. Now I created a warlock 😀
i love this video, sadly the whole magic build is not for me… i need a barbarian video😫
Hello, I have a question, the money only used to buy more equipment and nothing else? Why do I want to loot if all I can do is buy more things? There's something I'm missing in the game's loop?
You can also use it to buy more stash space. But yes - the core gameplay loop is just get money -> get decked out in high tier gear -> kill other players with that gear.
this game is crazy,,,, can you exit together as duos??
Yes - but not at every extract. Blue stair escape extracts are one time use only. Every map has a few group escapes though.

Though you do suffer if something can stay on you like a rogue
If you wanna be able to do even better with relatively bad gear going for Longsword can be top tier though you need to be realy good at parrying if you want it to be a equalisier
and once you actualy have a lot of gear you usualy switch to a hydra lifedrain build from my knowledge
Realistically the squire kit I put together can and will perform even against players kitted 2 or 3 tiers better than you on gear if you play well.
does vampirism still work with torture mastery?
Yes.
You should try using hellfire on a dummy. It hits several times a second.
Yeah that's why hellfire is so darn good. It has little particles that come off it that hit too.
Halfway through the video and I'm liking it so far. But.. When in D&D does warlock ever spend health for anything other than getting hit by something?
Costs health to use spells.
@@SolomonDandD What edition was that?

So I have a different tactic than most people who are min/maxing their kits. I go in empty handed and just put on items based on their sell value. Then when I get out I sell all of that and do a new squire kit. I only kit up when I'm going in giga-juiced to stomp other players. Basically the equipment slots I use as extra inventory.
Can someone answer me, whats the difference between "curse of pain" and "bolt of darkness", and why isn't bolt of darkness just superior?
Bolt of darkness is a projectile instead of hitscan, and it doesn't heal you like curse of pain does.
WOOOW AWESOME GUIDE!
Do you still recommend Torture mastery now that it has been nerfed to do triple dmg?
Yes, but only if you have magical healing items.
@@SolomonDandD hmm I started dark and darker yesterday and im having a rough time lol, I saw the patch notes warlock got a heavy nerf all over it seems, maybe I stick to + 10 will at the beginning insteed?
Do lifedrain and hyrda instead. Start with the one that gives you 2 hp for a melee hit.
@@SolomonDandD Alright thanks!
@@SolomonDandD what spell to swap out for lifedrain? and what are the 4 perks now?
Bro. I had no idea about altering your base gear… been going in without the free protection potion…
Lol!
Thank you for the guide i got every gear i'm #1 high roller i never die, meme aside i got a question i read in game high rollers been changed i think?
before if u die it took out your points but now not anymore?
But do I have to pick select Warlock if I wanna play Warlock or can I select something else?
Play what you want. My dude was just guiding you to one of the better classes to start with. He’s not your mom.
Anyone who is new, switch falcion to kris when you can, kris daggers are very good for locks
Kris dagger is a completely separate build. High move speed, and I'd recommend no shield as well then.
@@SolomonDandD this is true but that weapon swap could come in clutch in sticky situations
Agreed warlock melee if very hit and run, dagger would be great to have time for a few swings and a spell
I disagree with a bunch of choices. The shield makes you to slow. You wanna kite at all times learn it as fast as possible use a Crystal Ball instead find a Kris if possible. For skills you have to pick Phantomize especially early game. The amount of times I survived using that skill is insane. Literally the best perk if you dont have anything again especially early game (Imo the best Skill in the game next to Second Wind). Perks. I would 100% pick Shadowtouch over Torture Mastery first (Shadowtouch 1, Torture Mastery 2, Vampirsim 3, Curse Mastery 4). Helps with PvE and it heals you a decent amount every hit useful especially with a fast weapon (Kris).
Fire tips! i would use this but I always freeze like a min in usually when im fighting a mob then when i unfreeze im dead :'((
Im not sure if there's a way to do it on steam, but I had a similar issue a while back I fixed by allocating the game more ram.
Really nice guide
Thanks, very nice done video
Hello new player here! i think they nerfed warlock cause now torture mastery does not double instead he triples the cost, is this guide still viable or would you change something? great video man it helps a lot!
really good vid! nice one
Thanks man super helpful
very imformative thank you got my sub !
Great video man
great vid :D can you do bard guide next?
I can definitely do a bard guide soon. Might end up doing all the characters.
How can you have so much memory like that. Like I have a warlock lvl 24 and i cant have more than 3 or 4 spell ? Thx for the video it was very good
He has 9 points when he starts the run, you just pick up items with Knowladge stat on your run and expand that, put spells in your book regardless of your limit. Your level doesnt affect that, lvl 1 or 33 your base value is 9 for maic memory, its all in a gear.
Level only impacts perks/skills. I'm just grabbing a bunch of high knowledge items as I play.
Knowledge increases spell memory slots
@@SolomonDandD Okok ty
@@painwheel_1337 ok ty
Nice video bro!
Why do we want gear score below 25?
It puts you in a different queue where everyone is below 25 as well. Whereas you could be at 30 and put up against someone with 1k gear score.
@@SolomonDandD ty!
Should i use crystal sword?
Nah crystal sword is pretty bad now.
@@SolomonDandD I keep hearing its the go to for a BoC warlock though. No idea what to go with
Realy helpfull film, i like it :D
Great guide, and super helpful! Only thing I don't understand is why you're keeping your gear score below 25?
16:05 yes, i wanna open BIG CHESTS, how can you tell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now the torture mastery skill triples the cost is it still good
Yes - but not on base kit. I'd recommend a lifedrain build for low kit now without torture mastery. Torture mastery is for high-gear warlocks now.
@@SolomonDandD any idea why lifedrain sometimes just doesnt work? I hold the cast until the bar is filled, aim at a skeleton right in front of me, and nothing happens. what am I doing wrong lol
Probably not 100% still, if your momentum is going still at all it cancels it.
@@derinderinderinderin2life drain is close range and hitscan
What is gold use for
Buying gear from merchants, buying stash size upgrades, and buying gear from the market (if you've bought the game)
great video
Why did they get rid of the zone
They are moving away from battle royale for the main game modes and moving towards extraction looter as a genre. Sounds like they will be reintroducing the circle in arena.
Thanks!
