Great video, super informational. I noticed that you didn't have any suggestions for platelock or demon builds. Are they just not viable?
@dowsey4 ай бұрын
They're super niche and off meta. 100% you can run them and have success, but they are not the best builds currently for Warlock and I don't feel comfortable suggesting gear for them currently.

Magic power bonus is what physical damage reduction is to armor rating. At a threshold of enough magic power each point of power = a point of power bonus. At that point a roll of magic power bonus is likely to outperform a roll of magic power.

Hey Dowsey, just wondering what attributes I should look for on a longsword as a curse lock? You left it out of the video so I'm assuming it doesn't really matter. I'm assuming additional weapon damage is first priority then I'm not sure, maybe max HP or physical power?

Me and a friend started playing the game a few days ago. I really fell inlove with the warlock! What kind of warlock build would you recommend on a budget or to a new player?

Probably the cheapest warlock build is a Melee orientated build with a Shadow Hood and Occultist Pants. Check the timestamps for the relevant info for that. You can buy Magical Healing gear for about 1,000g too if that playstyle interests you.

I've noticed demon form is just shredding people in melee now especially after the headshot damage increase. No one can seem to hit me in the head and as I'm taller I can land headshots with ease. Any advice on what I should build if I want to rush people with demon form? I've literally killed some pretty geared people with demon form just running random stuff I've had on hand on my way to Lvl 15 today.

Demon form, build melee hybrid (like the example at the end of the video). Focus on tanky stats like armor, magic resistance and health. Consider tankier options for gloves, chest and boots as well.

Curse of pain, power of sacrifice, bolt of darkness and hydra are a must - the last slot is preference and dependent on game mode, flamewalker is best for solos but is good in everything if used right and hellfire is good for bossing, I personally like to run bloodstained blade as a support option for buffing your frontline
@timothyhales71044 ай бұрын
@connerclements1664 personally i found hydra to be super lack luster mainly bc of how slow the projectiles are, I will say it's amazing at setting up choke points but that's about it, I run cops, power of sacrifice, bolt of darkness, hellfire, and flame walker Perks are : shadow touched, curse mastery, vampirism, torture mastery. Basically the build is meant to self sustain on cops and power of sacrifice while constantly spamming high cost spells. Tbh that's the cool thing about warlock is the build variety.

3x Will will only add 1 damage to CoP’s initial burst damage, and since you can get 3x Will or 5x Magical power as a random modifier on chest pieces, you’re more efficient building a more desirable stat like Knowledge, Health or Dexterity as the static roll then using a chest piece that is only increasing your damage +1 on CoP
