Diablo 4 Warlock Class: Official Expansion Overview
Warlock is presented by Blizzard as a Lord of Hatred class. The official overview supports the expansion and class context; it does not support a current universal ranking or a finished build guide by itself.
Warlock is an officially announced Lord of Hatred class. Treat exact skills, soul systems, item combinations and tier placement as version-sensitive until a dated gameplay source supports them.

Official class context
Blizzard’s expansion material identifies Warlock as part of Lord of Hatred and gives the class a dark, infernal caster identity.
That broad description is useful for choosing what to learn, but it is not a substitute for current skill data or a tested endgame build.
How to keep research current
Record the patch and season beside every Warlock skill or build note.
Do not use a future-content announcement to infer present playability, drop rates or class strength.
Evidence and changes
Blizzard’s Warlock article provides official class context and names the Disciple of the Forbidden class quest. Exact current skills, items and rankings remain version-sensitive.
