Absolutely beautiful video. The gear progression was perfectly explained. I had no idea will and magic power provide 2% magic power in the stat page but only 1% after 40. I see that perfectly explained. I learned so much from you thank you 😊
I had to leave a comment on here, i just ran this build for around 10 games and I got my first named off a guy, Death bloom with an insane kit, W BUILD
Brother this video gets me hype. Would you still do dark reflection with the soul shard change to preserve the plus 5 or we still sending it boss? Big hype for the next vid!
@@RekdStar 100% still play normally. +5all grants you faster cast and more spell damage while you hold it, but without the burst damage from reflect you are unlikely to win vs barbs, and without the ranged damage from dark bolt you are unlikely to win vs Ranger/Wiz/Sorc. Keep the stacks as long as you can but don't be afraid to use em to secure a kill
@zeplore8491 I watched all except gear part. Buyin gear in this game is the most boring part of it since ttk is super low and you lose it all in few seconds. Really dislike it. There is no theory crafting, just statstick stacking.
this build is very fun and ive been running it non stop for about 5 or 6 days now, but reckless attack barb HARD counters this build you get 2 tapped no matter what
Hi Zeplore, what are your thoughts on this build with the new buffs to soul collector? Do you think it is possible to run a version of the build that doesn't utilize any dark magic spells, in order to maintain the +5 all attributes benefit?
@@bug_eater123 I'd say run the build as is zero change. The minute you worry about not using dark bolt or dark reflection to save the +5all you're probably going to die for it. The +5all will help a lot vs ranger/sorc/wiz matchups that are ranged, it will help cast flamewalk faster before a melee engages, ECT. We're just getting the +5all for free before we tank a melee hit or cast dark bolt that's all
This is how i understand it as the Wiki states it, I could be 100% wrong. Flamewalk: 5 damage per second, 100% scaling, ticks every 0.2s. If i have the mana sphere out (magical damage 5 on this item), 75% magic power, and +10 true magic damage... Damage = [(Damage of Spell + Magical Damage of item equipped) X Magical Power Bonus X Scaling] + Addi/True Magic SO, Damage = (5+5) = 10 X (1.75) = 17.5 + 10 True = 27.5 damage per second, since it ticks every 0.2s, divide by 5 that is 5.5 damage per every 0.2s (5.5 magical damage every tick, which occurs every 0.2s).
Shadow Touch gives +2hp gain and +2true magic damage on your melee, but fights will never last past 2 swings, so that is only +4hp and +4 damage. If you build enough Will, +10% from Malice gives you +4 Will. That is 4% magic damage to your Flamewalk, Curse of pain, Dark reflection, Blow of corruption, Dark bolts, ect. Not to mention the magic resistance and buff duration gained from 4 extra Will. Malice is better than Shadow Touch for this kind of build IMO.
why use the champ armor instead of the occultist tunic? same stats and you trade barely 2% pdr and a tiny bit of magic resistance for 7 whole move speed
really sick build, lost like 20k in 3 runs. Not sure how people make everything look so easy, you BoC someone and they run, I BoC someone and they commit to stabbing me 50x and always live with 20hp.
@@novabaghdasarian2348 totally can be, 100% depends on what module you fight them in though, and if you can land a 5-stack Soul Collector Dark Bolt on them. At 9:10 I kill a geared Ranger with just 1 curse and 1 bolt. You have to play it smarter than melee matchups.
I tried this build and ran into true dmg survival bow rangers 5 games in a row and became broke. Got kitted and poked to death. I like the build but couldn't stand my ground against true damage survival bow rangers.

Love that you show the other pov when you can, always good to see what a build looks like from the other side
Thank you 🙏
"put down like dog" is the most accurate representation of this build and I love it.
Hey man your guide videos are on another level compared to the other ones popping up on my recommended. Very well done, cant wait to try it out!
That means a lot thank you

@@cainstonedabel1249 thank you sir!
Great video zep
Thank you!
Cam gets blurry at 25:42 and i apologize, but there is no way I could recreate the same passion on a 2nd take so i left it as is lol.

Finally justice for warlocks!
Came for the build, clapped for the soundtracks. Diablo 2 AND Doom! Insta like.

Amazing ass video ty! 🦖
I wonder if taking off hydra+drain is worth curse of weakness
How does true magic damage work on flamewalk? Are you adding 9 damage each tic or distributed over the whole time of the spell? Same question for CoP
This is how i understand it as the Wiki states it, I could be 100% wrong.
Flamewalk: 5 damage per second, 100% scaling, ticks every 0.2s. If i have the mana sphere out (magical damage 5 on this item), 75% magic power, and +10 true magic damage...
Damage = [(Damage of Spell + Magical Damage of item equipped) X Magical Power Bonus X Scaling] + Addi/True Magic
SO,
Damage = (5+5) = 10 X (1.75) = 17.5 + 10 True = 27.5 damage per second, since it ticks every 0.2s, divide by 5 that is 5.5 damage per every 0.2s (5.5 magical damage every tick, which occurs every 0.2s).
w warlock gameplay
I knew you would enjoy it

C&C Tiberian Sun track 🔥🔥🔥
Could this Build still be viable with Crystal sword + book instead? or is Falch + Ball just always better?
Do flamewalker hit true magic only one time or each tick ?
Im suprised u go dark malice instead of shadow touch, it can be a 12hp difference in fight if u land 3 hits that +6hp for u and -6 for them
Shadow Touch gives +2hp gain and +2true magic damage on your melee, but fights will never last past 2 swings, so that is only +4hp and +4 damage. If you build enough Will, +10% from Malice gives you +4 Will. That is 4% magic damage to your Flamewalk, Curse of pain, Dark reflection, Blow of corruption, Dark bolts, ect.

Movespeed becomes moot when yielding a -40ms crystal ball and Falch. More defensive stats = better
do I have to hit only headshots like you?
Is this a good class for trios? Would you make any changes to it to fit trios?

Anyone have success with a build like this in lower gear score lobbies? Like
i built pretty much the exact same build for arena, cooks
Yea the damage in melee is crazy, probably super good into any comp that doesn't have a ranger
really sick build, lost like 20k in 3 runs. Not sure how people make everything look so easy, you BoC someone and they run, I BoC someone and they commit to stabbing me 50x and always live with 20hp.
This build would go hard with Kumas. No dark reflection tho, to keep the 100% damage increase on kumas the whole match
Whats the biggest counter to this build, ranger?
reckless attack barbarian hard counters
Just finished the build, got two shot by a rare gear barb, me wearing epic and legendary. Feels BAD
Is ranger a hard counter for this build?

dont you get completely shit on by clerics tho ?
If the cleric has to melee me to kill me, no. if it's a caster cleric judge/spells stacking knowledge and will? Absolutely.
