Great video, super informational. I noticed that you didn't have any suggestions for platelock or demon builds. Are they just not viable?

@dowsey

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.

platecaster warlock has been super fun for me after the update, wear things like great helm and dark cuirass to stack knowledge and just focus on strength/phys power for your random attributes

hey! does your damage chart apply to physical damage scaling or does that work different

Does anyone know if they have a video like this for barbs or fighters ? This is great info

As of hotfix #38 the knowledge spell casting speed curve has adjusted how does this equate to your recommended knowledge breakpoints? I figured Id ask now just to get the question out there. Amazing content as always man!

how does hybrid lock(melee lock at the end) fare vs the curselock/lifedrain builds? aswell as vs in 3v3 or solo/duo?

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?

@dowsey

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.

baccano soundtrack!!! amazing!!!

so do you use torture mastery with lifedrain build or?

@dowsey

The easiest builds to play are melee based. Either full melee with BOC+Phantomise or Kriss Dagger + Crystal Ball. Lifedrain lock with Staff + BoC is very effective too. Curse lock with torture mastery is always worth trying once you hit level 15

Does magical power or added magical damage scale how much life you heal from life drain?

@dowsey

2 ай бұрын

Yes, True/Additional increases the heal from Lifedrain more, remember that 1xTrue/Additional is worth about 3-4 Magical Power/Will

So would you still run vampirism on a lifedrain build? Or would you go 10% will bonus instead?

@dowsey

Vampirism 100%, it’s warlock’s best perk IMO

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

@timothyhales7104

​@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.

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.

@dowsey

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.

Biggest gear question is when to take Malice over curse mastery. At how many points of will stacking would Malice be worth to take for torture mastery builds? I I am a big fan of double cursing players but havent gotten enough will to justify taking Malice.

@dowsey

Never. There's always better perk choices than Malice

It is the most unfortunate aspect of being a caster in dark and darker. It costs a lot to have ideal gear, even more to have BIS gear. Melee warlock builds are far more accessible though!

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
