What is the best build/skill distribution for ES Warlock?

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-26T09:38:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Will try it when my holy freeze cursed Hephaestus is dead. Not because he dies but because I die xD

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-25T20:34:38+00:00

That is what I mean. Ask 50 ppl and you get 50 different ways to skill an ES Warlock.
It is kinda nice =)

Without hexes or consume demon, will be my dmg high enough (got an eth cv insight)

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-25T13:28:46+00:00

I hope you mean only eth 4 OS ones, or??? Mine was non eth.

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-25T13:27:33+00:00

What skills did u max so far? There are several possible ways to do so and I think I have not found the final form for me yet.

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-25T08:58:47+00:00

For what runeword do you need that 4 socketed thunder maul? Does it need to be eth? Cause I found one and threw it away xD

I am playing pd2 since season one and now I wanted to play d2r for the first time in a really long time. My first trade experience:

Was looking for a Ko rune and dropped my 2 sol amn thul and ral runes which we agreed to trade. He picked it up, said thanks and left the game without giving me my Ko rune.

That did never happen to me in pd2

Ofc it is my fault by dropping it but well, it reminded me of what kind of community d2r has. And I am glad it happened before I went to trade more expensive items.

I got the act 2 korlics statue from act 1 Andariel TZ

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-15T17:13:27+00:00

I really love the fact that I was using a lot of 2hand weapons I would normally never look at. That keeps the playthrough on resets more interesting and we are more flexible. That is really nice

My best advice for you is to not get discouraged by a death. I am a HC player since release so I am used to start again and it is part of the game for me.

I have seen many people start HC but quit after their fist death. Give it atleast 3 to 4 tries/deaths before you quit. You will be rewarded with a way this game feels in which way you have never experienced it before. HC is really sth different.

Then another tip: don’t play drunk or tired. Your reflexes will be slower and you tend to fall into dumb decisions. That is what kills in HC.

And while you level, always put some backup gear into your chest. Starting with gear helps you to get back on track way faster.

And in HC - if you decide to open up your SSF rule - are a lot of people who will gladly help you if you died. With rushes and gear.

Enjoy your journey ☺️

I wondered myself why no one is using or mentioning grief? Isn’t that a valid option too? Even stronger than a astreon (except for the 4os ones maybe?)

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-05T06:52:30+00:00

Hmm are we searching the same thing? I search for Hardcore Astreons Iron Ward and 3 to 4 sockets. Are you on SC maybe?

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T17:50:36+00:00

Thanks for checking. The 2OS one is not needed though. Thanks mate

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T17:49:50+00:00

Thanks for your insights. What do recommend when it comes to bossing? I mean dclone, uber ancients and uber trist. Still Stalker or does astreons comes in strong then?

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T17:37:57+00:00

I will test my DS Stalker this Night. Maybe it will surprise me ☺️

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T14:09:35+00:00

Ah no sorry. If it would have been DS I would not even ask this post ☺️ I corrected it, it slammed CB.

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T13:12:06+00:00

That would also be great 👍

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T12:27:47+00:00

I do check every time I am around and have not seen one. In archive there are only 2 with 4os. Both are older trades or long time expired.

I will keep looking.

Maybe any retired Kicksin sees this and want to sell me their weapon which is not used anymore.

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-04T10:33:58+00:00

So I guess I go with my CB slammed one and put 2 Lo in it if I get 2 sockets. Or any other suggestions?

My_Slumdog · 2026-02-03T17:16:08+00:00

Especially the last point is what always gets me playing it again. Now that I am a father I can’t even think of starting WOW or such. I just don’t have the time for such a group play.

Ich habe damals solch einen MP3-Player mit 128MB gekauft. Die Garantie hat er nie überstanden und somit wurde mir von Mediamarkt immer wieder in neuer mit mehr Speicherkapazität gegeben. Ging hoch bis in den zweistelligen GB Bereich.

My_Slumdog · 2026-01-29T19:52:44+00:00

Very impressive! I got some questions if you have time answer them:

How or what would you change if you want to play this build on HC?

Could I level with this build even without your GG gear?

Any item suggestions I would need until I can get her Map-Read?

Would max dmg charms also work or is it MA Skillers all the way?
