MrRonit's Dread Claws Levelling + Endgame Build

Welcome to MrRonit's Dread Claws Levelling + Endgame build that will be a much more active playstyle for the warlock!

Using Terror Demon Metamorphosis we can scale the damage of Dread Claws to crazy levels! We can easily stack shadowform stacks with this as well to take advantage of so many features!

And then with Nether Step and Mastermind Shard our movement speed is incredible - you will zoom through the campaign and level 1-70 process with ease!!

I have also placed a planner for the endgame version of the build that incorporates the set charm Beru of Harash's Shadow as well as uniques such as Seed of Horazon, Litany of Sable, Anathema of the Primes. This will be fleshed out more on release but it gives a good idea of what to aim for!

In Summary (differences when I played live vs build planner):

• I did NOT use Profane Sentinel when levelling, I used Abyssal Titan Rampage
• I did NOT use Sigil of Subversion when levelling, I used Summon Laalish instead which is almost another mini-nuke
• I used Terror Swarm instead of Metamorphosis when levelling for my ultimate - it functions as nuke button. Metamorphosis got nerfed and Terror Demon Metamorphosis NO LONGER ADDS ABYSS RANKS TO SKILLS
• I will update this planner to reflect above changes when I sleep/return from work

1) Cast Sigil of Subversion onto a pack of enemies

2) Use Dread Claws to deal damage

3) Use Terror Demon Metamorphosis to boost damage significantly

4) Profane Sentinel boosts damage against single targets significantly

Use Doom to build wrath and Nether Step will give you tonnes of movement speed and immunity!

Doom is our wrath builder and then Cascading Dread Dread Claws is our main damage skill which we want to be able to make the most of whilst levelling so we go the Damage Dread Claws route to make each cast impactful!

Terror Demon Metamorphosis is a hack as it will give ALL ABYSS SKILLS +15 Ranks!!! Also through Phase 2 Enrage Metamorphosis and Damage Scaling Metamorphosis we really boost its damage even further! Moreover Terror Demon Metamorphosis gives us shadowform stacks so easily so we can trigger Insidious Aspect!

Mastermind Shard gives us 30% more damage with Abyss skills when we have stacks of Shadowform. Terror Demon Metamorphosis gives us 4 stacks of Shadowform every second!!

Blasphemous Fragment gives us 20% more damage against enemies hit by Profane Sentinel

Single Target Damage Profane Sentinel is there as a damage boost against bosses

I may decide to go for Abyssal Titan Rampage instead of Profane Sentinel whilst trying out both variants when levelling - will update the guide on release to confirm
