Overview

Datei:Warlock.jpg

Warlocks are the advanced version of the Wizard class. Their name is often abbreviated and then referred to as just "WL". They offer two viable roles: The instant/fast cast killer and the crowd control support. Depending on how well geared a Warlock is they will be either a fallback support class for controlling mobs with Jack Frost or one of the main AoEs with Crimson Rock, Comet and Chain Lightning. The earth element tree offers great PVP capabilities with the ability to strip players of their equipment. Players also have the ability to "memorize" skills for instant casting at a later time, which can help with long cast times and reuse delays.

Job Change Guide

See Warlock Job Change Guide for detailed information.

This test has a very bad reputation for being the hardest of the job change quests. While maybe not the hardest, it can be slightly difficult to an unprepared player. The test is basically broken down into two parts:

• Hunting for two quest items off very high HP and high damage monsters
• Surviving a room full of high HP and high damage monsters

The first part of this test sends the player into the New World just west of Camp Midgard. It is recommended to get a friend or guildmate to help the player with this portion, as it can get very overwhelming for an undergeared player. If soloing is the only option, it is strongly recommended to bring a teleport accessory or a lot of fly wings and healing items.

For the second part, the player will be locked in a small room and pitted against monsters with very high HP that also have high damage. This part may seem challenging, but is actually quite easy if the player is prepared. Here are some tips for making this test easy:

• Stock up on both HP and SP healing items past the character's weight capacity. There is no time to regenerate HP/SP so there is no point on staying under 50% weight. Powerful healing items like Yggdrasil Berries/Seeds (or Green Ales if they are "in season") are a must. If the player does not have a healing hat/booster like a Witch Hat + Alarm Mask combo, then bring slim white potions. Mastela Fruits are also useful.

• Increase HP potions. Wizards have a lower HP pool in general so these potions help a lot.

• Water resistance gear like Water Armor or Coldproof Potions. Orlean's Gown + Swordfish Card is very recommendable for combining water element with unstoppable casting. If you use a one-handed staff, you can also equip a shield with Aqua Elemental Card or Hodremlin Card.

• Wear equipment and cards that add HP. Some examples are Variant Shoes, Diabolus Shoes, or Orleans Gown with Pecopeco Card.

• Hotkey the cast stones on the shortcut bar before entering the room.

• When teleported into the quest room, do not panic. Gain perspective on the surroundings and immediately cast Storm Gust or Frost Nova. Use chain lightning on the mobs and then freeze them again if necessary.

• Make sure to keep HP up enough to withstand monster skill attacks.

• The Aqua Elementals do the most damage so target them first. They are weak against Jupitel Thunder or the Chain Lightning stone!

• Hotkey level one of Storm Gust. This will keep the monsters mostly frozen, and the player won't have to heal as much.

• Using a combination of Mystical Amplification and Jupitel Thunder on the frozen targets will do very high damage, if there are no more cast stones.

A Quick Explanation of Spellbook/Release: The basics to playing Warlock

With the addition of new powerful spells upon job change, players will now have access to 2 spells that allow for instant casting of learned spells. These 2 spells are:

Reading Spell Book

Release

The way this new system of casting works is that a player will have to purchase spellbooks from the Geffen Mage guild (the building where you changed into a mage). Once these spells are in inventory, players can cast Reading Spellbook and choose the spells of the books they currently own to 'memorize'. What this basically does is store up the spells in the warlocks memory to 'Release' when needed at a later time with no casting bar or cooldown delay (yes this bypasses the horrible 1 minute cooldown of Comet. That is where the Release spell comes in. Players will need level 1 Release to cast the memorized spell.

Each Warlock has a number of maximum slots in which they can memorize spells, based on their Base Level, INT and the level of Freezing Spell. This determines how many skills they can keep memorized at any given time. At level 150, a Warlock will have 15 slots, with an additional slot for every 10 int, and an additional 4 for every level of Freezing Spell. Slots = (4*Freezing Spell Lv) + floor(BLv/10) + floor(Int/10)
