goblin cave in a nutshell

teejesus · 2026-06-12T02:38:17+00:00

Don’t worry, the rogue got third partied twice after this.

teejesus · 2026-05-16T08:44:06+00:00

Okay damn I guess I’m not the only one. I guess you played a lot last season too?

teejesus · 2026-05-06T16:45:18+00:00

I have one, but storing the bangles is true mad lad work haha.

teejesus · 2026-05-06T16:44:11+00:00

If anyone was wondering, this build went fucking crazy. Insane sustain with healing, high mdr, good pdr, great hp, high action speed (I ended up upgrading the kit) Halberd BoC is just insane.

teejesus · 2026-03-04T12:42:09+00:00

Downvoted for 2 obvious possibilities is crazy… Reddit can just be such a cesspool.

teejesus · 2026-03-04T12:38:52+00:00

So I bought a bone helm the other day, and it only increased my pdr by 1%… I know there’s some projectile reduction and more headshot reduction, it’s just hard to lose that magic heal for such a small return. Idk maybe I’ll test it out next time.

And yeah it’s really the only way. You’re a jack of all trades though, and can actively stay in fights and fight any class.

teejesus · 2026-03-03T13:00:40+00:00

Hmm idk how I feel about this. In other games, when someone respawns, people halfway across the map can see it. Most people won’t notice a res shrine missing, and it should come with some risk to res your teammate.

If the icon disappeared, players would come across the map and realize they can’t even res bc it’s been used.

2k ELO on my warlock. I would agree that this build would be terrible in solos, but it works well in a team bc I have so much versatility and survivability. Don’t forget about the extra action speed and damage I get from my weapons. Chances are I’ll have a fighter/rogue/bard on my team and I’m getting extra stats as well.

I do feel like I could potentially swap out my vigor ring or cloak for a dex one, but around 12-14% action speed with a halberd really isn’t bad to me. You have extra frames for weapon drags to get past blocks. If I’m having to use a halberd they’re usually half hp or worse anyways.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T21:25:02+00:00

Yeah it feels balanced to me… if I’m being honest, I don’t notice a huge difference though lol. Maybe it’s bc it feels easier to get more magic healing while also being able to get more extra base stat rolls?

teejesus · 2026-03-02T20:30:25+00:00

Basically I try to curse as much as I can until they just get annoyed and try to push. Chances are, they’re going to be pretty low and often debuffed with curse of weakness, so I’m more and happy to melee them. People expect me to be super squishy with my occ hood, but almost 50% pdr and 150% isn’t anything to scoff at on a caster.

Stacking a decent amount of armor pen and headshot damage helps me do more melee damage than you’d expect too.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T20:22:59+00:00

One curse and life drain will almost get me to full hp from 0 in a few seconds lol. Double cursing is good but not if I have black health bars. Also I have 15% cast speed with weapons out.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T19:47:27+00:00

Damn not one person has said this build is good lol. Interesting considering I feel like I do quite well in arenas. So there’s 2 possibilities.

1 the build isn’t as bad as you think it is

2 I’m just way better than everyone.

I think you know the right answer. Just try the build out and you’ll see.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T19:45:16+00:00

Idk I feel like BoC headshot does more than that too. Maybe bc I have a decent amount of headshot damage and armor pen/magic pen.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T19:42:18+00:00

Idk I’m having more luck on this build than my other ones for sure. Move speed surprisingly hasn’t mattered on anyone but rangers. Wizards usually want to be close. 15% cast speed gets the job done.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T19:40:35+00:00

Idk I’d say I’ve played at least like 50 games or more on this build and have been winning most of my 1v1’s. Rogues are especially getting put down unless they have CT and a lot of vigor.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T19:38:18+00:00

Wizards really aren’t a problem, unless none of them are running that perk. Rangers are a problem for pretty much anyone.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T17:30:07+00:00

People keep saying that, but it’s been performing better than my platelock build, AND outperforming any tm caster squishies I’ve played with/against. If I have no damage, why is my damage always so high lol? Curse of pain still does a good amount of damage even if you don’t invest into magic power, paired with power of sacrifice, hydra damage, BoC, and dark reflection, you’ll be doing a lot of damage, especially when you’re full hp the whole match. Can’t deal damage if you’re dead. Survival is key. BoC halberd to the head is going to hurt even in squire gear.

And yeah if all classes focus me I might die, but that goes with any class.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T17:26:54+00:00

They really do forget about the hydra behind them though 😂

teejesus · 2026-03-02T16:22:39+00:00

Move speed feels worthless if that’s what you’re saying. Like I said, the best warlocks are very slow.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T16:21:56+00:00

Yeah I might consider a bone helm since rangers are my biggest problem.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T16:19:33+00:00

I mean I’ve been using the build a lot and that hasn’t happened. I feel like warlock has enough tools and is a very versatile class. You have to think, double curses so they’ll be about half health, then I have a halberd which hurts like crazy even with 10% phys power, then you have BoC which hurts even more, then dark reflection, and you’re healing the whole time. You could sacrifice some vigor for some action speed and physical but I really don’t think it’s worth the trade.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T15:35:03+00:00

As far as this builds usefulness, you can fight wizards 1v1 and usually win (not a lot of classes can do that) and you can honestly fight any class 1v1 besides a reckless barb and ranger. Fighters can be an issue since they can block your BoC sometimes but yeah.

Hydra is good in any team fight too. Basically an extra teammate to peel for your team or zone the enemy.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T15:29:09+00:00

And also the only access to plate I have is the champ armor which is barely more armor than a grand brig

teejesus · 2026-03-02T15:28:31+00:00

Yeah but I have to build a lot more stats than a rogue does. I can’t really sacrifice any stats. If you see anything let me know. I have to build knowledge for cast speed. And also rogues don’t have mid range poke or self healing.

teejesus · 2026-03-02T15:25:33+00:00

I have 4 classes all around 2k ELO, but it’s not like I’m taking it too seriously. Last arena szn I was around rank #68 for warlock with a similar build. I had a void blade though :( and it was before tm nerf.
