The Warlock is Diablo Immortal 10th playable class

Ask on Discord Videos

The Warlock is Diablo Immortal's 10th playable class, released as a hybrid mid-to-long-range caster and demon summoner that bends Hell's forbidden magic to its will. Unlike the Necromancer who respects the balance, the Warlock rules over demons recklessly, providing exceptional AoE damage and versatile army customization.

You can try the class for free or change your existing character directly via the Class Change mechanic without losing your progress.

Core Mechanics & Signature Abilities
The Soul Gorgger: A permanent, passive primordial demon companion that fights alongside you. It can "Devour" other summoned demons to gain their exclusive skills, such as grown horns and forward-dashing stun attacks.

Demonic Portal: Opens a gateway to summon specific lesser demons (like a heavy-hitting Blood Lord, Demonic Soldiers, or a Rasplit Hulk).

Hellfire Bolt: A primary attack that shoots fiery blasts. Legendary essences can transform it to apply stacking burn damage over time.

Siphon Life: Binds life essence to heal you or build up power based on the damage you take.

Dual Stances: You can alternate between Command Stance (increases attack speed for you and your summons) and Restraint Stance (slows/stuns enemies with primary attacks but reduces your own movement speed).

Top PvE Build: The "Infernal Burn" Raid & Dungeon Build
This setup focuses on maximizing high fire AoE damage, stacking burn effects, and heavy self-sustain via life-draining loops.
1. Skill Loadout

Hellfire Bolt (Primary Attack)

Infernal Eruption

Siphon Life

Devouring Darkness

Spiteful Sacrifice

2. Essential Legendary Essences

Head: Siphon Life essence giving a movement speed buff.

Shoulder: Devour Darkness to intentionally drain player life to instantly trigger the Siphon Life healing buffer.

Chest: Infernal Eruption fires an AoE circle that follows your character.

Pants: Infernal Eruption range increase.

Main Hand 1: Siphon Life mod that heals 30% HP and grants a damage buff after taking damage 5 times.

Main Hand 2: Torment Anew (Hellfire Bolt applies a stacking burn effect).

Off-Hand 1: Extra damage modifier specifically against burning enemies.

Off-Hand 2: Clawing End / Cruel Destination (increases attack speed and converts Spiteful Sacrifice critical strikes into stacked damage).

3. Best Set Items (Green Items)

4-Piece Grace of the Flagellant: Heavily synergizes with the high frequency of your fire ticking damage over time.

2-Piece Vithu’s Urges: Extends the beneficial durations of your Siphon Life buffs

4. Legendary Gems & Paragon

Top Gems: Mother’s Lament, Roiling Consequence, Colossus, Hellbound Desire (superior for raid damage over Blood-Soaked Jade), and Fervent Fang.

Paragon Tree Setup: Spec into Searing Flame (crucial for igniting enemies and triggering burning conditions), alongside Unseen Dynamism, Gifted, Blood Thirst, and Superiority.

Alternative Playstyle: The Summoner Build
If you prefer building a massive demon army rather than personal spellcasting, swap your setup to utilize a 6-Piece Shepherd’s Call set. Combine it with Demonic Portal to flood the field with minions. This gives your summons an permanent frenzy state and maximizes your critical hit chance based on active pets.

Look out for the Pointed Respite essence, which modifies your portal to summon a Fetish Chieftain that heals your army and increases their attack speed.

New Zone: Lut Gholein
Lut Gholein, famously known to franchise fans as the iconic "Jewel of the Desert" from Diablo II, is a primary setting in Diablo Immortal. The zone plays an anchor role in the year-long "A Nation in Agony" narrative arc, serving as the backdrop for the rise of the Warlock class.

The region has been heavily expanded across recent major game updates.

Playable Subzones & Geography
The zone's rollout expands into several distinct areas.
The Rocky Waste: The scorching outer desert edges that act as your entry point toward the city.

The Common Ward: A captured urban subzone that serves as a highly active combat area. It is packed with unique demonic adversaries, fresh world bounties, and targeted wanted monster hunts.

The Docks and Gutters: Ruined shipping segments and claustrophobic waterways that host tight, pack-based PvE skirmishes.

Abandoned Taverns & Ruined Homes: High-density, house-to-house interior locations showcasing the devastation left behind by Andariel's forces.

Exclusive Zone Content & Horrid Events
Horrid Zone Events: Special timed open-world instances where rifts open across the desert, spawning high-tier elites that drop specialized region gear.

The Vizjerei Connection: Deep beneath the town lie cursed dungeons tied directly to the lore of the Warlock. You can scavenge the remnants of twisted Vizjerei magical experiments to uncover how human mages originally learned to enslave demons.

New Helliquary Bosses: The expansion of the Lut Gholein storyline introduces three major endgame entities to conquer:

Gulakht, Night Clan Trickster (utilizes deadly lightning strikes)

Shackled Maw, Primordial Soulgorger

Yradus the False Seer (harnesses blinding sun magic)

Diablo Immortal Lut Gholein New Helliquary Bosses

Warlock Synergy in Lut Gholein
Because Lut Gholein is designed with tightly packed alleyways and high-density mob spawns, the Warlock excels here. Dropping Infernal Eruption in the narrow gutters bottlenecks demons perfectly, allowing your ticking damage-over-time setups (like Grace of the Flagellant) to burn down entire screens effortlessly while you navigate the city's ruins.

Three New Legendary Gems

Interminus Stone While moving, your damage and Evasion rating is increased. Resonance Gems: Heartstone, Defiant Soul.

Resonance Gems: Ca'arsen's Invigoration, Bloody Reach, Volatility Shard.
