Budge Warlock who can handle hell?

New sunder system kind of forces you to play either Warlock, good ol' hammer or Bone necro (with wlk being the most reasonable choice) for coming season.

Otherwise, you get stuck in hundreds of

Terror runs, being unable to kill half of the mobs on average and investing huge amounts of time before the game fun realy starts.

i found the warlock fun to level and hardly ran in to any issues dieing or getting stuck on acts leveling.

i decided on my skill tree would be

Abyss. maxxed

Miasma Bolt. then points into chains untill i could start rocking

Abyss then dumped the rest into chains .
then j started getting other all the demon skills, just 1 in each.
wrecking everything in hell, havent tried clone / ubers or anything crazy yet tho

...The game isn’t easy if you ain’t got the gear. If you’re running budget and trying to get to BiS. It’s not an easy route.

I’m talking offline of course.

Offline is wildly different than online. I did only offline and LAN until 2024 and I never found a lot of stuff that the online players take for granted.

Shako, HoZ, Mara's, a complete

Tal Rasha's? Things like Infinity, Grief, and Enigma are a pipe Dream for most players if they play offline.

A lot of people here talk about how easy it is to get near BiS gear easily, but they're talking about trading. Which in all reality, relies on bots somewhere in the chain. Playing this game SSF is a challenging experience unless you are willing to spend hours upon hours farming the same areas over and over and over.

That's where warlock breaks the ethos of the game. No other class is going to reasonably clear hell naked with

Wirt's Leg. Every other class has to invest time in an actual build and finding decent gear.
