This Warlock leveling build will not only take you to max level, but will also perform strong into the torment tiers, while you farm your endgame gear. You can easily get into T1 with 0 aspects or tailored gear.
This build utilises the best parts of the warlock toolkit, to give you HUGE damage with 
Metamorphosis, letting us take on a full demon form. And then massive mobility with 
Demonic Smash Rampage. These combined with the massive amount of hellfire damage, let us wreck everything.

We do not NEED any of these while leveling, they just give us a significant damage increase to push into torment levels.
Tempering:
- Site is still being updated with the new tempering options, for now easy tempers while leveling are:
- Offense: Hellfire Damage
- Mobility: Movement Speed
- Utility: Sigil Duration
Target Farming:
We can use the horadric cube to upgrade Rare items into Legendary items. I would prioritize the following items in the cube to try and hit their prospective legendary. You may get some you don't want, but it has a good chance.
- 2h weapon for
Aspect of Scorching Heat - Amulet for Demonic Aspect
- Gloves for Aspect of Ignition
- Pants for
Aspect of Diabolical Armor

There a few really intersting tier sets available to us, but will need to test them all. For now the clear easy option is 
Berú of Abaddon's Flesh, giving us massive buffs in and out of our Metamorphosis demon form.

Note While Leveling:
We do not unlock some of the final choices of our abilities until later levels. i.e we cannot change Bombardment to 
Endless Barrage Bombardment unless lvl 32. So what you can do is grab a different node while leveling and then, once you hit the required level, refund it and grab the correct one. This will give u more damage while leveleing. All of this is in the leveling route planner. But here is where you can take advantage of that:
Bombardment:
- At lvl 15 take Brutality Bombardment
- At lvl 32, refund this and take Endless Barrage Bombardment
Rampage:
- At lvl 20 take Shockwave Rampage
- At lvl 36, refund this and take Demonic Smash Rampage

Varyana for attack speed. Bombardment go brrrrrrrrr
How it Plays
This build plays very fast and very passively, racking up tons of hellfire damage.
- Jump into battle with Demonic Smash Rampage
- Pop Hellfire Aura Sigil of Chaos to put an aura around us
- Press Endless Barrage Bombardment 5 times to get maximum stacks
- Metamorphosis on cooldown to hit demonform for extra damage. Then jump into more packs with Demonic Smash Rampage and watch everything burn.
Between packs, cast Summon Abodian to ride the hell dog and chain all your enemies together. Or just to travel from pack to pack if you don't have enough essence to use your Demonic Smash Rampage.
How it Works
Hellfire Aura and Bombardmant:
- With Endless Barrage Bombardment demons constantly get thrown all around us, doing huge damage and counting as demons sacrificed
- Hellfire Aura Sigil of Chaos when enemies OR our demons die within the sigil we trigger the sigil for massive damage. As we are constantly sacrificing our demons all around us, and the sigil is always around us. We proc this constantly.
- This also gives us 100% uptime on our volatility procs
- and gives us 100% uptime on our paragon node
Fathomless for 105% increased damage
Demonform:
- Metamorphosis puts us into demonform, but with the node Destruction Demon Metamorphosis we can still cast all of our normal hellfire abilities. Letting us gain all the extra damage + damage reduction from our various aspects.
