The Destiny Warlock Guide, Tips and Tricks
The Warlock is a player class in Destiny that specializes in combining “magic” powers granted by The Traveler with modern weapons.
Warlocks have long studied The Traveler, which gives rise to their ability to harness some of its powers.
In appearance, Warlocks can be distinguished by their rounded helmets and long coats. As with the other player classes, in addition to head, chest, arm, and leg armor, they have a special fifth armor slot that is unique to their class and further helps to distinguish them from their brethren in arms. The Warlock’s unique armor is a bond (armband) worn on the upper-left arm.
