Build Overview

Welcome to MrRonit's Dread Claws levelling 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! And then with Nether Step our movement is incredible!

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Active playstyle
  • Very fast
  • Gameplay footage that confirms it will do well in endgame
  • Less demon summons

Build Variants

This is the levelling build that will take you from level 1-70 with ease!

I will update these variants and release endgame ones as well!

Soul Shards

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

Once you're higher level you will want to replace Doom with summon Laalish the skill you get with Mastermind Shard

No Uniques or Aspects are necessary for the levelling build

However some warlock specific aspects to look out for include:

  • Insidious Aspect - this scales abyss skills dependent on stacks of shadowform. With Nether Step and Terror Demon Metamorphosis we can generate stacks of Shadowform.

Generic aspects farmable from dungeons will be good as well:

  • Aspect of Disobedience and Aspect of Might are classics for defences
  • Edgemaster's Aspect is a classic for more damage
  • Resource aspects such as Aspect of the Umbral and Aspect of Voracious Rage

Will update levelling path once expansion releases - different tiers are unlocked at different levels as are different skill modifiers!

Mercenary

How it Plays

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!

How it Works

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 +12 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
