Build Overview

Warlock is a class with MANY tags, and although confusing, this allows us to abuse these tags to combine them all into a single skill to absurdly boost damage.

With this in mind, I created a build that Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture can have... +30 easy rank points for absurd base damage (Possibly reaching 42+ points with Uber)... with a multiplier greater than [x]1000%... while dealing area damage and pulling enemies???

We'll have Shadowform which will give us up to 50% base movement speed. With that possibly +120% base movement speed. Plus Nether Step giving more mobility, and Demonic Smash Rampage which we can possibly spam by jumping from side to side.

And yes, we'll have defensive layers, cooldown reduction, while transforming into a badass demon.
Okay warlock, you got me.

Of course, this is theorycraft. I'll be updating the build with new information as I play the game.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • AoE that pulls enemies
  • Absurd damage
  • Insane base mobility
  • Spam of mobility skill
  • Slightly delayed damage
  • Probably a weird skill rotation.

Build Variants

I'll leave you with 3 different build versions. One version for Lving.

Another that depends on a unique (Anathema of the Primes) where we'll see the possibility of using Demonic Smash Rampage spam.

And finally, an endgame version where, with Phoba of Harash's Shadow, we can have more skills being used, greatly increasing our damage and mobility.

::Important::

The fourth skill will be the skill that MasterMindShard gives us Summon Laalish. It will allow us to stack shadowform more easily (mov speed) and increase our base damage early in the game.

Once we have our ultimate Metamorphosis, we will have to remove Blazing Scream or Sigil of Subversion.

During LVing I believe Blazing Scream will be better, as the shadowform stacks from Sigil of Subversion won't be as powerful until we have our talisman, but it needs to be tested.

No Uniques or Aspects are necessary for the levelling build, however the only important aspects to keep an eye on are:

  • Insidious Aspect - This is probably the aspect that best scales our damage. Always put damage aspects into AMULET during leveling because the base weapon is always important to upgrade to a better one.
  • Aspect of Ritual Synthesis - Resources during leveling are always quite limited. Our build blends Occult and Hellfire skills, which allows for reduced cost for Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture and reduced cooldown for the remaining skills.
  • Spine of Tathamet - It more than doubles the damage of our main skill.
  • Flickerstep - Terror Demon Metamorphosis theoretically has a 30s cooldown. With these boots we can greatly reduce it to maintain form possibly constantly (along with other reductions).

Talismans

We don't know how rare this will be, as I said I'll make a tab taking into account the use of Phoba of Harash's Shadow, which is completely absurd in our build. Giving us 2 defensive layers; automatic spam of Sigil of Subversion, which allows us to remove the skill from the bar and gain +50% movement speed bonus with Movement Speed Sigil of Subversion; and... 350%[x] damage? +100%[x] for enemies dominated by our Sigil of Subversion?

  • Command Fallen - It's our resource generator. If I understand correctly, we can also use it to accelerate shadowform generation, as sacrifices for Sigil of Subversion.
  • Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture - This is our main DPS. Remember that staying in explosions increases our damage with Volatility Hell Fracture.
  • Nether Step - Mobility, Shadowform generator, and damage reduction with Damage Reduction Nether Step which happens to combo with itself Movement Speed Nether Step.
  • Blazing Scream - Extra following DPS
  • Sigil of Subversion - Another ShadowForm generator, initially we'll use it with Blood Ritual Sigil of Subversion to stack Shadowform more easily during lving. And Slow Sigil of Subversion will help with our survival.
  • Terror Demon Metamorphosis - It will double the rank of our Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture; generate shadowform; remove crowd control; increase our health by 40%; and allow us to remain in stealth mode while using our Abyss skills.

Mercenary

How it Plays

  1. Always use Summon Laalish and Nether Step to gain shadowform.
  2. When you spot an elite/boss, use Metamorphosis for all your bonuses (and more shadowform!)
  3. Sigil of Subversion
  4. Hell Fracture for a lot of damage
  5. Sigil of Subversion more if you need more shadowform
  6. Command Fallen, to generate resources and accelerate Sigil of Subversion

How it Works

I've already explained the basics of how the build works in previous passes. Here I'll just show you where all our final damage comes from.

First, Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture combined with Terror Demon Metamorphosis, which theoretically gives a rank 30 skill. But we also have Spine of Tathamet which theoretically gives more points to Fractured Abyss Hell Fracture, where we can get GA. And finally, we have Harlequin Crest which will give us +8 total points.

Then we go to the [x]%, which it's worth pointing out that in the new update, they no longer multiply among themselves, they add together, even so, it's an absurd damage multiplier. So we have;

  • Mastermind Shard x30%
  • Blasphemous Fragment x20%
  • Insidious Aspect will increase x?% per stack of shadowform. Let's be humble and say it's 1% (I really believe it will be more), that gives us x10%, which is multiplied by 400% when used in stealth. Remember that Terror Demon Metamorphosis doesn't take us out of stealth, giving us x40%. Since it's on an amulet, it becomes x60% overall.
  • Malicious Aspect gives x?%. Since it's an ultimate where you expect you won't be stealthy all the time (we will be), I'll be humble and say it increases x30%.
  • Spine of Tathamet x120%
  • Phoba of Harash's Shadow x450%
  • Volatility gain from Volatility Hell Fracture x50%

All this gives us [x]760%

Vulnerable increases x20% (which we apply with Bane-Link Aspect + Slow Sigil of Subversion). I REALLY believe that vulnerable will be a separate multiplier like before, or else it became something weak in this new expansion if it only adds and remains at 20%. And we have Aspect of Peril, which will work quite differently depending on whether vulnerability is a separate multiplier or not. So we have two possibilities: either vulnerability will be a final multiplier of 1.33 (20% × 1.68 = 33.6%). Or it will be 20 + 68, which will give us another x88%.

So in the multiplier version we have 760% x 1.33 which gives us a nice [x]1,010%.

Or in the sum version we have 760% + 88%, which gives us [x]844%.

And to not complicate things even further, let's not even count critical damage. Which I believe will also still be a separate multiplier. And we leave enemies Hex ! Who suffer critical hits more easily.

And also, we don't know anything about Paragon yet! We'll probably get a few more [x]%!

So even in the most pessimistic mathematical view possible. If this idea holds up until launch, we're talking about much more than [x]1000% damage!

So yeah, that's A LOT of damage :)

And finally, we have the possible 120% base movement speed; We'll have 50% of 10 stacks of Shadowfor; 20-30% of the boot affix; and when we have the Phoba of Harash's Shadow we can automatically activate Movement Speed Sigil of Subversion and change its point to gain an additional 50% while activating the skill; and we're not even counting the extra from the Nether Step.
