WarlockWelcome to the 
Dread Claws Endgame Build Guide! This build comfortably clears entire rooms of enemies before killing the boss in seconds. There are tremendous synergies between the gear, Soul Shards and Paragon nodes that make this a breeze to play. Even without Mythic Uniques or insane gear you'll be farming T10+ in no time. Lets dive in!
Note: This is an endgame build. If you're leveling up, follow this guide first: https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/builds/dread-claws-warlock-leveling-guide
The 
Mastermind Shard gives more damage if you can maintain Shadowform stacks from Nether Step, Summon Laalish and Metamorphosis.
The 
Blasphemous Fragment gives 
Fallen Rush Command Fallen and 
Abyssal Titan Rampage Hex on Hit while letting you keep your highest Wrath generating Basic Skill.
The Mythic Uniques take this build to god mode.
Harlequin Crest (Shako) gives us +4 all skills, lots of cooldown reduction, and excellent defenses.
Tyrael's Might is the best defensive item in the game, and we need it for the highest torment tiers.
Ring of Starless Skies gives us a ton of damage and makes Dread Claws cheaper to cast.
Remember 
Litany of Sable can be crafted at the Horadric Cube by upgrading a white 900ilvl dagger to Unique!
Reroll your extra Shadow Set Charms with the Horadric Cube to go for + Skills to Abyss or Demonology. For the second stat look for anything defensive like Life, Armor or All Res.
0 (0)We take the upgrades for 
Dark Prison without putting it on our bar because our Runeword casts it for us.
Level each Glyph to 51 to unlock their final form. For navigating the Paragon Board rush unlocking all the Glyphs and Legendary Powers, then maximize all of the Glyph Willpower bonuses. Finally run around and grab all the juicy Rare and Magic Nodes, especially the defensive ones. If you still have paragon points at the very end, just grab as much Willpower as you can.
Varyana gives us Movement Speed and Monster Grouping which lets us obliterate the monsters while farming.
Aldkin's Fields of Languish gives us 20% Damage Reduction.
Dread Claws is your main attack that should 1 shot most monsters.
Cast Nether Step to move around and gain Shadowform.
Keep Abyssal Titan Rampage up at all times. He automatically moves with you when you cast Nether Step. You can also manually position him by recasting the Skill.
Summon 3 Fallen Rush Command Fallen to get infinite Wrath, apply Hex, and provide a bit more damage.
Summon Laalish and 
Terror Demon Metamorphosis are your nukes - use them on Elites and Bosses.
