Warlock is the magic-oriented class in Destiny. Warlock is divided into 2 subclasses: Voidwalker and Sunsinger. Voidwalker is damage dealing, solo-oriented subclass capable of dealing massive AoE damage to her enemies while Sunsinger is the healing, group-oriented subclass adept at supporting her allies. Warlock has less armor than Titan and Hunter.

The universe bends to your will. Manipulate its energies to annihilate your foes.


Play Style

The warlock player has to be quick on her feet and avoid enemy attacks if possible because warlock wears very light armor. She takes more damage than the other classes. Intellect and Discipline are important stats for the Warlock. Intellect reduces the cooldown of the Warlock's Nova Bomb and while Discipline reduces the cooldown of her grenades.
