What Is a Warlock?

Warlocks are users of dark fire and magic spells. They are male witches who gain power through pacts with demons. In Diablo 2 they are great for casting, melee, and summoning.

The Demon tree allows the Warlock to summons Demons or Bind demons he comes across to join his army. The Eldritch tree contans a variety of ways for the Warlock to tank up and become a melee fighter. Mirror your weapon, shield yourself, and Hex your enemies. The Chaos tree contains both Fire and Magic paths, as well as Sigils to alter enemy states when they enter.

What Is the Best Warlock Build?

All Warlock builds are fairly powerful. Currently, it is still yet to be determined what the best build is but the Demon Build seems to have a lot of power and safety, while the Cleave Warlock has some great AoE damage for Terror Zone farming.

Is the Warlock a Good Class for Beginners?

Yes! All of the trees are quite powerful and summoners are usually one of the best starter characters for someone new to the game.

5.

What are the Special characteristics unique to the Warlock class?

The Warlock has the ability to wield 2-handed weapons in one hand while using a shield in their other hand. This provides a lot of combinations never before seen in Diablo 2. Additionally, he has a shield "book" type that only he can use and possesses Warlock skills. Look out for these and Daggers for great Runeword bases.
