Warlock
The Warlock is Diablo II: Resurrected's eighth class, added with Reign of the Warlock in February 2026 — the first new class the game had seen in over twenty-five years. It plays as a hybrid of Sorceress and Necromancer, and can levitate a two-handed weapon in one hand while wielding an off-hand alongside it.
Skill trees
- Chaos — the caster tree: wide fire and magic spells, entropy clouds, and sigils that debuff enemies or buff the Warlock.
- Eldritch — weapon manipulation: cleaving strikes, astral projections and weapon mirrors, plus hexes that impair enemies or drain their life.
- Demon — summoning: Goatmen for melee, Tainted for ranged, Defilers for support, and Bind Demon to enslave most demon monsters in the game.
How it plays
Mix and match — throw spells through the Chaos tree, animate a hovering weapon with Eldritch, or raise and bind a demon horde. The class is built for hybrid playstyles rather than a single specialisation.
Common approaches
- Chaos caster — fire and magic area damage.
- Eldritch weapon — telekinetic melee and hexes.
- Demon summoner — a bound horde fighting for you.
