Greetings,

  I read the post about making a warlock duel wield dagger and I have some questions.  Just how much can you custom make your character when it comes to skills?  Can I make my warlock wield a big ax?  Can I wear armor or use a shield?  Is it possible to use a warlock template and transform the guy into a more melee base character?  Thanks.

Warlock's can learn some new weapons, although other classes can learn many more, the ones you recieve from start(That can be learned through the skillpoint system, is permant), so you cannot hope to get a plate wearing warlock, they can learn some minor weapons such as daggers/staffs/wands, but other than that they are limited by their class choice.

Warlocks are not able to dual wield. They are able to use a dagger in one hand and an off-hand held item that you can not attack with, but adds stat bonuses such as armor or spirit or have effects like increasing shadow spell damage. A warlock is limited to cloth armor, daggers, staves, wands, held items, and (if they are like mages, I'm not positive on this) possibly swords.

Technically warlocks can dual wield.

You can have a weapon (ex. staff) in the main hand and do melee damage with it and use a wand in the offhand and nuke with it.

I noticed that the wand goes to off-hand when a dagger is used.  I also noticed that 'ammo' pointed to it.  Is there ammo for a wand?  Or is a wand simply an off-hand bonus?  does it add to spells or to melee attacks?

wands function as something that can be used both in combination with a one or two handed weapon. it is not held in the off hand when using a one handed weapon, as it can be used with a two handed weapon as well. you do not need to purchase ammo to use a wand. it has a short recharge time of about 1 second before you can use it again. it does not add any definite bonuses to a melle weapon although certain one may add stat bonuses to your characters stats.

On your skills and abilities there should be an ability that says Shoot.  I recommend putting it in your bar for future use.  It makes you use your wand. :)  Its a lot like the attack or how you get your other spells in your bar.
