Warlock

Warlock is the eighth class to be added to Blade and Soul.

The Warlock (Shaman) class is designed for mid-range combat, as they use talismans that they infuse with magic to use as projectiles, spells, or summoning.

As of the most recent update to this page, the Warlock class is available on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese servers for Blade and Soul. As seen in the trailer for the Warlock class^[1], the Warlocks also have binding abilities which surround enemies and do damage in pulses.

There are also some abilities that are reminiscent of lightning.

The final main feature of the Warlock class is that they are able to summon apparitions that will deal most of the physical damage for a Warlock, and serve as a distraction to the bosses and mobs, thus minimizing damage to the Warlock or teammates.

At first glance, this will feel as though it takes a cue from World of Warcraft, and there are some similarities, but Blade and Soul maintains a unique playing style separate from other MMOs. The Warlock class is available to Jin and Lyn characters.

The main weapon for the Warlock is a chain. Unlike other characters, a Warlock is almost never holding the chain as a weapon, but rather the chain will float and attack, seemingly without physical interaction.
