Neverwinter - Warlock DPS Guide Mod 19 (AoE & ST)

[@MrGreeny7777]

Hurray, another guide from you :D I realy like your guides because they go in dept into the mechanics how to use it properly, realy needed something like this

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

Thanks :D I have a ToMM video coming out tonight of my warlock doing DPS instead of healing :P one cheeky death though as one of the other DPS decided to break the ice xD

[@arnabmukhopadhyay7078]

Great work mate, very articulate and informative.

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

Thank you :)

YOU JUST BECAME MY GO TO WARLOCK DPS/HEALS GUIDE

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

I can definitely make one absolutely no problem :) Will make one this week and post it on the weekend :)

[@aarizedizon3859]

Prysm & Smiffy oh healer IC POV too please?! I started a Soulweaver loadout too because your ToMM video inspired me and it looked fun to heal 😅😇😂

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

@@aarizedizon3859 Definitely! Will get them filmed this week and get the up on the weekend :)

[@aarizedizon3859]

Yooo I healed TIC last night and my first time healing! It was fun and quite an adjustment from being dps. That Tab ability got me messed up lol Will need to adjust accordingly 🙃

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

That's amazing! The tab function is janky as for warlock as I said in the build video :P but least its something we can use and the heal is insane because we can just channel it

[@rikhardrrr]

Why doesn't soul spark recovery apply to curse bite btw? I mean, it seems like bug to me. I hope so because I have already reported it as bug :D

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

Yeah it seems like it should but doesn't it is very annoying as warlock class still seems to be the most broken in terms of DPS output compared to the other classes.

[@rikhardrrr]

@@Smiffy-xd1ws That's true, this game was never ballanced. Good thing about warlock tho is that it has short cooldowns and feat to reduce it. Wizard has 17sec cooldowns and no way to reduce it and has to spam ray of frost for 10 seconds like retarded xD It's mad. Warlocks damage output is not amazing but at least it is fun to play it.

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

@@rikhardrrr You are right, but majority of our damage comes from spamming hellish rebuke with bilethorn and having to tab to cd powers can get annoying as you lose damage whilst doing it

[@Iamvandamme]

You just helped me out, cause Bova was begining to annoy me.

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

My pleasure bro :) It annoyed the hell out of me too :D

[@Iamvandamme]

@@Smiffy-xd1ws I will give Hfr a try in Tomm today, and let you know how it plays out for me 😁

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

@@Iamvandamme Yeah please do :)

[@aarizedizon3859]

Nick van Damme I really like hfr with Power of the Nine Hells feat because it prestacks 5 SI in like 20secs! I see some people still using bova and just change their encounter pwrs when it’s “safe” to do so. I personally can’t do enc pwrs switching lol

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

I also struggle with switching powers - I forget :P

[@piratetowelli9331]

What should the stat sheet be on a warlock?

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

You want to get all the offensive stats capped at 90k and then combat advantage to 140k. Always go for intelligence for outgoing magical damage and dexterity for the critical severity.

[@vbloodyassaultx7428]

You need deffence also at 90k 👀

[@random1self]

With the journal artifacts being limited edition/special event items, what artifacts should your suggest in the mean time?

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

I would say Halaster's Blast Sceptre is great! Plus Trobriands Ring, Staff of Flowers, Arcturia's Music Box - purely because there item level is 300 and so give more stats to you. HBS is great debuffer for ST and SoF is great for AoE damage in AoE scenarios. Hope this helps! :)

[@random1self]

Thank you :) I presume your running straight radiants in your offense and defense slot? What do you think of the Ring of the Bruttal Fiend +5? Sorry for so many question :)

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

That's ok :) here to help :D I use radiants in offense and brutals in defense at present. It helps me cap the stats etc but radiants in defense will give me the HP I need for Zariel in the end. Ring of Brutal Fiend is OK but the bonus isn't as good as using 3% more ranged damaged from ebonized ring or guiding ring :)

[@amorrobel]

Use dark spiral every 3 spirals.... You missing that dps output.

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

Yes I use Dark Helix in dungeons most of the time but trials a bit harder as you need enemies to kill and in ToMM only the ice can proc the spirals and then they are a timer and it needs to be timed precisely. However I will try it next time I do ToMM and see what happens :D Thanks for the tip

[@getwhxcked4515]

@@Smiffy-xd1ws you should get rat pup for extra procs

[@vbloodyassaultx7428]

I was Dps racing another warlock with the same stats and companions ect. The only different was me I used souls parks for cool down reduction. I dealed a lot lower Dps than him for 3 4 rounds in tomm. After that I switchet that my puppet reduced cool down and I don't used souls parks and I dealed more dmg than him I think souls parks using is not good. U ever tested?

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

I have not no, but issue with puppet is it dies easily which is annoying I find, but definitely will give it a try one day to see

[@jlara7079]

... So no BoV.. Ok.

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

I sometimes use it in trials as it is the best overall, just a shame it kills our critical chance quite a bit

[@emrekank4892]

Statt ??

[@Smiffy-xd1ws]

What do you mean sorry?
