Best Warlock Skills Build in Dark and Darker

The core Warlock skills you’ll want to build in Dark and Darker are Torture Mastery, Vampirism, Dark Reflection, and Anti-Magic:

  • Torture Mastery allows healing from any curse cast, while Vampirism increases that healing amount.
  • Dark Reflection reflects a portion of damage taken back to the attacker, scaling with your spellbook’s magic damage.
  • Anti-Magic provides a flat 25% reduction to magic damage received.

Magical Heal Warlock Build in Dark and Darker

For a Magical Heal-focused Warlock build, the recommended spells in Dark and Darker are:

  • Power Sacrifice
  • Curse of Pain
  • Hydra
  • Flame Walker
  • Bolt of Darkness

This loadout enables sustaining yourself through curse damage reflection and health leeching.

For PvE content, you can swap Hydra or Bolt of Darkness for the powerful Hellfire spell.

Lifedrain Warlock Build in Dark and Darker

The Lifedrain variation requires more investment but offers immense damage potential.

  • Swap out Power Sacrifice for the Lifedrain spell, which drains health from enemies.
  • Allocating points into Malice (10% increased spell damage) or Soul Collector (damage boosts on kills) further amplifies this build’s lethality.

However, achieving an optimal Lifedrain setup demands significant gold for high-level magic damage and knowledge gear.

Early-game Warlocks may struggle to acquire the necessary items in Dark and Darker.
