By far the best warlock general info video. This is what I looked for, for months. Thank you.

Absolutely excellent introduction to Warlocks! I have just returned after a year and 8 month hiatus, during which Warlocks were released. I have to say, I am now very interested in creating a tank similar (or maybe EXACTLY THE SAME) as Voodu. Thank you very much!

I am thinking about returning to DDO after many years off and found this video very informative. When warlock goes on sale I will start one and reference your video for guidance.

Love vid but would love to see it updated as there are more pacts now and to add that skill points are worth noting as many times I see Fay pact some dont realize that they need perform skill to boost sonic power

ginger always appreciate your videos also your in game play keep it up ty for your time!

Lots of good advice here, thank you.

I watch all of your Warlock videos, even this one with my having one at 24 and one at 15. I had never taken the Cone stance before, just because of the way it reads for the minus to Pact Damage. So, I rolled up a new level 7 human and made sure before I put points anywhere else, I took the cone stance because of your description of its range. I went straight to Searing Heights wilderness, hung a left because I knew there would be three gathered there at a camp fire. I kept easing up click, ease up click, ease up click... Their campfire is at the back end of one of the large blocks making up this part of the area. By now, I'm more than half way through the adjoining block and *spotted, here they come* click, click, click *crap, is this ever going to go off??* Finally, when they were almost to the major split between block, it went off and the damage was less than stellar, and I was close enough to get arrested for molestation by the time I killed the first one. So, on my other two Warlocks, I will continue to avoid taking the cone stance and keep chain for when having to deal with mobs up on a ledge where you can only see or clearly target one. Maybe they nerfed the range and because of your high level, you're not using this any more with the two second aura and dual burst. ADDENDUM: I have continued through the area, trying to like the attack, and even with the cone's abysmally short range, it is a pretty good AoE for close range, if going for the "blaster" instead of "burst" build

Ty for this vid I am going to Tr into a warlock and needed some good info, I feel more confident try a warlock now.

I will just say this. Hurl is excellent, but mostly with some past lives in things like Wizard and so on, but if you are say doing 1-20 for race reincarnations, then Old One is cool, because I lock Knock.

The devs really did a great job with warlock IMO, lots of tough choices from the combination of pact & enhancements, and even with the same feat & enhancement choices, the different pacts will lead to different play styles. If you're going for a fairly shallow warlock splash (eg. just for the aura defenses), i'd recommend fey though, for dark delerium. Quick note about what makes hurl so good - it's a will-based instakill, meaning it can work reliably on the kind of things finger of death won't.. and hey, you can even take that too to mix up your instakill needs. Soul eater is my favourite tree overall, and i think it's pretty much the highest DPS tree too, though it's about cumulative effect, meaning they might not be as great vs. multiple mobs but they're great boss-killers once you've got consume, burning blood, and all those vulnerability debuffs stacked up. Good point about cone shape too - it's about the same size as cone of cold, and while chain has the homing aspect beyond 1st target (so can be great for bouncing shots round terrain for trickier fights) it's limited to 4 targets at once whereas cone will hit everything in it's AoE.

Just wanted you to know, I'd been away from DDO for a couple of years, and was curious about new developments in the game...then ran across your vid. And just because of this vid, I spent money on the game for the first time in years, and tried out the warlock, and am having a blast (no pun intended). See what you did? It's all your fault.

"How to choose your warlock" then proceed to talk about ES for 20 mins

About the pact choice. If you dont know which one to pick id say go with fiend by default. Empyrean magic and hurl through hell can carry half the warlock builds

Pretty good Warlock 101, but noticeably missing is any discussion on stat build-out. I see you have a 54 Con, 35 Int, and 44 Cha. Some discussion of these stats and what they do for the Warlock should have been a part of the video. BTW: With a 44 Cha how well are your DC dependent abilities landing in U27+

How would you go about building an AOE based warlock. I want to try to make an AOE based character but I cant seem to find a good class to start.

thanks helps a lot!

As someone who is new to the game much is still unclear to me. I appreciate this video. Quick question..I see tons of warlocks playing. Probably see more of them than any other class. My question is..is this because its new? Is it because warlock is over powered? I spoke with someone in a group yesterday and they were very clear in their opinion that while warlock was good and strong and new player friendly they felt that warlock is more of a generalist and therefore would never likely be as good as one of the more traditional classes. Whats your opinion on warlock? I have tried it and love it myself. However, I stopped playing it as there were so many other warlocks. Thanks man.

I just reincarnated to a warlock now so ty for that idea :) I had another question though... About shields. I notice you mention getting tower shields to hold but you don't take a feat to use them. I am a little confused on that part. I guess I just don't understand the whole penalty to not having a feat to use them thing. Thank in advance

So I returned to DDO After a very long time and i wanted to try and make a Warlock primarily focusing on Blasting what Enhancement tree should I use and what stat's are important, and i wanted to do fey pact but I have heard you have to take Performance to boost Sonic damage or are there other methods of increasing sonic damage?

I must say, after checking out this video, I reset my enhancements on a level 20 Warlock to include the cone. But I personally didn't find the cone to have any range at all. Are you using a feat to extend the range?

I went fiend till 21 then switched to ES which i loved, going to try old one next, question im seeing builds going cha but also other warlocks going intell for spell power, k want to be pew pew not spells, so would i chose cha or intell to raise spell power.

soo technically i can run a aura toon with the warlock? eg. barb/warlock - i take my core ravager needs and dump the other points to get the enlighten tree and auras, all while not putting points into my cha? this will need testing...

i might be coming back to ddo :)

Hey buddy got another question lol. I found your Voodu warlock build on the forums and I saw how you wanted to level up Con whenever you can on it... Was curious how is the dps on that build? It seems like you wouldn't die much on it but can it kill well is the question i was thinking. Also... what do you do when just floating around with the AOE shape..? cast? or swing a weapon? or are you just simply using sla bursts from ES tree? thanks again :) am pondering my final life is all lol

Hey voodu, I've built your warlock build you've listed on the ddo forum, reading through you mention the shield as, and got to overcome it. You suggest crafting a lesser arcane spell dex item, is that from the old craftimg system? And how do would you achieve it on the new crafting system?

What is a good race for Warlock?

great an powerful ginger waht do u think of a fvs/warlock?

I have been looking at a blasting cone build on the forums and it uses mainly the soul eater tree. I was wondering... you said that the enlightened spirit tree was for melee... I really like the idea of that celestial spirit aura though but i want to be ranged how would that work?

are u sure thad negative spell power scales with devotion?? cuz there are nulification item thad may do the work or not?? this is important to build right. tks in any case i seen most of ur warlock vidieo- bb

So cone shape is like the spell cone of cold?

@Voodu Spyce How did you get so much mrr prr and save throws?

Just so hard to level these days. No ones playing level 2-8

Agora o warlock é apenas uma triste lembrança de quão poderoso ele já foi
