Mages who lust for power often turn to darker arts, such as necromancy. Several races' mages have also turned not to the power of the undead, but to demonic energies. The orcs, in particular, were long-suffered from being tainted with demonic blood. While they have largely thrown down the demonism that has filled their culture for many years, there are still many orc summoners. Amidst humans, gnomes, and blood elves, it is simply the tantalizing offer for power that compels an adept to follow the way of the demon. And why shouldn't it?
Warlocks have powerful damage spells, but they place a much higher emphasis than the mage on damage-over-time. A warlock is perfectly capable of "DoT"-ing up an opponent, cursing them, and simply watching them disintegrate. While doing so, they may tap their own life energy for more mana, and then drain that energy back from their opponents.
One of the best-known aspects of Warlocks is that of summoning. Warlocks have a great many different pets for various situations, from spell-casting imps to alluring succubi to towering infernals. Each pet has its own set of uses, and the warlock must drain the energies of the souls he or she is fighting to power the rituals to bring the appropriate pet into this world.
The warlock is a very powerful class, but one that may take a good bit of difficulty to learn. Their damage does not blast like a mage's. Their pets are not as much of a tank as a hunter's. Their support abilities are limited. But they have amazing versatility.
