Build Details

How It Works

A quick disclaimer about this build: If you don't like glaive in general, this build is definitely not for you. But, if you are one of those people who are willing to try glaive, this build will surprise you.

This build doesn't feature Feed The Void because Judgment of Kelgorath has solved both the grenade uptime, and survivabiliy problem by itself. So, you can prioritize spawning maximum buddies to help you fight.

This buddy prismatic warlock build is very flexible. Other than the 3 mandatory fragments and 1 aspects, there are still 4 other fragments and 2 aspects that you can choose based on your personal preference. I have put them in the in-depth explanation section. Survivability is also insanely strong with all glaive builds, blocking grants 97.5% DR to all the attack that's in front of your glaive shield. You can literally tank most bosses attack (without environmental damage ofc) without moving. So, imagine a bunch of turrets helping you fight, all you need to do is press the block and shoot button, then the boss literally got melted in front of your eyes.

The glaive in this build will be used primarily for its utility to: 1) Block to help you survive while you are in the front. 2) Shoot red bar to kill them and proc Demolitionist to always have Arc Soul ready Glaive melee in this build is only here to help buddies to kill things faster. So, don't assume this glaive can stay in the front and kill everything.
