Build Details

How It Works

This build works by using Solipsism with both Spirit of Necrotic and Spirit of Synthoceps.

If the gameplay loop isn't working for you, or if you want a little changeup, you can swap out Monte Carlo with Thorn or Outbreak for more damage or Khvostov to take advantage of Shoot to Loot. Finally, swapping Lightning Surge for Feed the Void if you have issues with survivability for higher-tier content.

Didn't think I'd ever use a melee build on a Warlock but this has been substantially enjoyable.

This build will allow you to be tanky, heal, and clear groups of enemies. Meanwhile it wont clear a whole room of adds like Caliban builds, due to the limited range of Jolt/Necrotic procs, you can almost match it's pace.

You can also throw out your Arcane Needle to Unravel yellow bar/tanky enemies to start a chain of extra passive damage. Weapon, Necrotic, Unravel, Hellion, Scorch.

You'll be able to generate orbs for yourself and your Artifact Mods allowing it to enhance both your weapons and your survivability.

Have fun, Happy Hunting Guardian.
