Warlock Guide

Read Me
If you intend to follow this guide I have created then please use common sense. This is a guide, not a manual.

This is not a step-by-step world record. There is no rush, there are no shortcuts hidden in this text.

The Theory
Grinding is only hard if you can barely kill what you're trying to kill. There are two ways to kill something. You can either out-damage it, or you can out-live it. The Warlock is excellent at both. This is what this guide will be instructing you to do.

Whilst the Warlock grinds, they can deal some burst damage and a good amount of sustained damage, while constantly sustaining themself.

The Walkthrough
This part of the guide is based on your player's level. If you are level 15, go to the section that says level 10-16.

RULES
Optional:- Set your looting rules to: Common, Crafting. TURN OFF Uncommon and Superior.
 * 1) For this walkthrough, you are going to try and max out Intellect.
 * 2) Craft up to the highest achievable armor. Wear your best and sell the rest.

This final rule isn't essential, but allows for more efficient idling.
