Same as any other elemental build:
Rely on having a sunder or bring in some other form of damage.

For a lock, you get a fair bit of easy phys dmg added via a proper bound demon + merc but since both of those are largely single target, I wouldn't want to rely on just that for fire immunes, considering how plentyful those are.

A high level
Apocalypse
paired with more minus enemy fire res will break at least some fire immunities. For the others you need a second damage type. Scaling magic damage will not be strong enough. Maybe go for
Echoing Strike
or put some points into the Demon/Minion tree (one bound demon,
Goatman
, one consumed monster). The
Corpse Explosion
from
Sigil Death
could also help out a lot.

You could also use
Death Mark
to warp your demon onto enemies and
Blood Boil
them. Idk how viable that will be in hell, I just have one point in each for now.

My items and characters are now in the RotW realm.

I'm in the same boat here. I almost finished Normal with no points allocation (only a few in Strenght to equip some armor). I have almost 200 free and he slams everything with almost no gear.

But from Nightmare and especially Hell we have to find a way to go through.
I play from scratch this time I don't have any Sunder (I mean I have but I don't want to give him) and for Infinity... way, way long road until there - I play offline SSF.

So let's see what we can do with spells.

If you are starting from scratch without any inherited gear, then using the fire spells from the Chaos tree can easily get you through Normal and then pass Nightmare Act 3. After that, you will encounter more and more fire immune mobs. This is a common "choke point" for any fire-based caster build.

One simple solution is to switch to a
Echoing Strike
build, using bound demon to tank the mob, and your warlock dps away using ES. You efficiency will drop a bit since ES is not a full screen AoE skill. But it is still very OP and should get you through to the end game fairly easily.

After acquiring decent end game gear, you can then switch back to more fire spell based build if that is your favorite playing style. With good AoE damage and powerful fire resistance reduction, you could be doing fairly well clearing out TZ zones with decent efficiency. It could be something similar to the improved
Armageddon
Druid a few seasons ago, or even better.

Some fire immunes can be broken with
Conviction
aura from bound demon

You can shop daggers for
Bind Demon
easy in nightmare act 2 around lv 35 I think

With
Bind Demon
in hand(on shopped
Dagger
) go find Hephasto on NM in act 4(Hellforge,
River of Flame
), he always spawns with an aura

If he doesn’t spawn with
Conviction
, start new game and try again

Sometimes you’ll get a hephasto with cursed and
Conviction
which is really nice for that point in the game

Do not swap weapons once you have bound Hephasto, or he will perish.

Make sure to start putting points in demon tree to reach
Bind Demon
in the skill tree after you max out
Ring of Fire
,
Flame Wave
,
Apocalypse
;
That way you can upgrade your weapon without losing your Hephasto

A lot of fire immunes do get broken, but not all

For example, right after you get hephasto with
Conviction
, you can take on
Chaos Sanctuary
fire immunes in NM

OP
TY ....with the Sorc, youj can do 1 maojor and 1 backup elemental to help with immunity. The warlock, doesnt really have a 2nd element so I have been trying to figure out the process for Hell level. DSont think I really understood the whole demon tree p0roperly just from the skills listings. Need to watch some YT videos maybe. lol
