Introduction to Warlock (Updated for Patch 1.0)

"A master of the forbidden arts, she tears into the essence of her foes, twisting and corrupting their spirits. Curses that dim the mind and break the body, the faintest word from her lips bear vile enough magic to snuff the life of her enemies entirely."

Warlock Class Icon Last Epoch

The Warlock is one of three Mastery classes that can be chosen from the base class of Acolyte. This dark caster is an author of curses, breaking down her opponents strength until they're weak and feeble. She is able to command both Fire and Necrotic magic equally, combining these two elements to unleash a powerful medley of damage upon her enemies. Few can stand before her fury and survive to tell the tale.
