Opposite to some of the other people asking for music in the background, I think what makes your videos great is the level of skill and knowledge you bring to the live commentary.
Liked and subbed. I was just having a super hard time getting my lock going this wipe so this is perfect. Good content, I look forward to your next video.
ive been loving dark and darker and tried to pick up warlock then switched off because i didnt really know what i was doing, i learned so much from this video and it was actually really fun to watch!! Thank youu and keep up the good content looking forward to seeing your future videoss
Im really happy I could help you out! I have a few more videos from a little while ago on Warlock maybe you could get a little more background as well!
Love videos like this, only thing i wish is that you get to lvl 20 and then start running some highroller for a few games, or maybe lvl 1 warlock is a bit hard but since you werent really taking any gear, mainly trinkets for money go into the ice abyss, you can make some bank there, the spiders and wendigos gives some giga loot even in normals
I bought the game shortly after they added the Warlock. My first wipe, I mained Fighter; second wipe was Rogue; this one, we're all in on Warlock, baby. It's been a blast. Though I typically run Curse of Pain, Power of Sacrifice, Flame Walker, Bolt of Darkness, and Hellfire. I do occasionally run Hydra, just because it's so useful for zoning and distractions.
Hydra is best if you have lifedrain or a good amount of magical healing but hellfire is always nice for bossing too. So many good spells to choose from
Just for everyone’s info, you need at least 8 magical healing for the first breakpoint of Torture Mastery scaling. With vampirism equipped. Not sure about further breakpoints, as 8 is already a decent investment if you’re on a tight budget.
Your doing great brother no notes. That's for including that u need healing from items to male healing off hydra work bc I definitely woulda killed myself trying it lol
Just downloaded the game, great tips and nice edits Keep up the good work, i hope you'll get more viewers ( maybe a background music would be great, not too loud )
Im very happy it helped you man. I occasionally stream on Kick. My Kick is just my name BuffKaen. I will be doing a lot more streaming as I grow my community a little bit. Feel free to follow on there and turn on notifications so you dont miss it!
Very good video, thank you for your help. A lot of content creator recommend goblin cave for first runs but i struggle way less on ice cavern. You got very lucky with the build you found!! That magical healing roll on the chest piece is insane for beginner warlock. Would you recommend staying under 25 gear score for easier runs or just keep going with the gear you find along the way ?
Thank you man I’m happy I could help! I did get very lucky haha, personally I dont think it matters much. In normals I’ve only been gear stomped maybe like once
@@BuffKaen33 cool thanks for the quick reply, so i guess a loadout of blue is just fine for normals👍 ty for the good tips good Luck for the grind 💪 been enjoying warlock a lot so far, might get into bossing soon!!
So this is a nitpick, but at like 1:15 or so you say you don't take the hat for move speed. I have to say this decision is just plain wrong and I can explain why: the hat is -2 move speed (.7% movement speed, entirely intangible difference.) The 2 magic power on the hat is equal to 4% increased spell damage, 5% headshot prot and 2.8% phys reduction. The tradeoff here is clearly favoring taking the hat. Edit: the hat offered 1 magic power at this point, which would equal 2% spell bonuses. It now does 2 after an update, making it 4%.
enjoyable vid man, same as another commenter some very low music could be nice. Question, reason behind taking malice instead of the curse lenghtener one? Maybe Malice has more dmg overall
So curse mastery just extends the same dmg over a longer period, which heals better but slows your ttk. I just prefer higher dmg from the will malice gives
@@BuffKaen33 it doesn't increase dmg... just stretches the same dmg over a longer duration? damn, yeah I totally see it now. Thanks for the clarification!
i heard there were some nerfs to the class, is this still viable? i see most people doing the demon thing but its all "budget 10000 gold" kits. I'm a single dad of 3 so i can only play about 15 or 20 hours a week and i havent found a build strong enough to consistency run HR for money so i really cant afford kits worth more than 2 or 300 gold right now because ill be dying a lot. thanks
Totally understandable man I just had my first! Life changer lol. I’ve been having a lot of success just running the standard torture mastery build. Despite the nerfs it still seems to work fine. As far as your kit goes, right now I wouldnt even worry about building any magical healing. Just build knowledge up to 24 and however much will and MS you can into your budget. Hope this helps and good luck
It is intended, torture mastery makes curse of pain and power of sacrifice heal off of everything you hit, Hydra is counted as a non-hostile mob. Lifedrain also works on hydra and is the alternate way to play caster warlock
what are your thoughts on demon form? some people say its op some say its trash. When i try spell warlock, they always dodge my curse of pain and rush me and i die lol.
Ive seen people do really well with it, but my personal preference is just to run normal caster. KazarenTv has a good platelock video where he uses demon form very well if you’re interested in that!
It's just me or now it's really harder to level up? I am f2p and before the patch I could leveled up 3 or 2 levels per game with the new classes I was making and deleting, now I only level up 1 per game (if I kill A LOT)

Thats awesome to hear man thank you so much!
4:25 to fight this guy regularly, hug him and when he swings crouch and move right
I liked how in depth you were and showed how to win from level 1. Great analysis as well! Definitely using the doorman technique, so simple now lol.
Just got into Dark and Darker. This was super helpful and convinced me to roll a warlock 👏

For anyone fighting harpies when they laugh, to dodge the wind attacks stay still and the two bolts that would damage you just arc around you :)
Goat behavior thanks for including that

When he said
3:59 "allow me to make more mistakes, 'cause God knows we all do it"
I felt that
Real

@@PrOtOxinE hellfire makes bossing pretty quick! Definitely recommend it
@@BuffKaen33 yeah i tried it but its also the longest cast so spacing is hard even with jump+cast
@@PrOtOxinE right, it definitely takes some getting used to

I'm really new to the game how is he able to heal on his own hydra? Is that intented? How does it work? What is the combo to do it
It is intended, torture mastery makes curse of pain and power of sacrifice heal off of everything you hit, Hydra is counted as a non-hostile mob. Lifedrain also works on hydra and is the alternate way to play caster warlock

I havent noticed anything brother but it’s hard to say
is squire gear TM still the best to run?
It’s a lot worse than what it was a week ago, but definitely still doable and very effective
jump on a box to avoid wolves biting you, great game
Just getting back into the game so these videos are super helpful keep up the good work 🫡
Heck yeah man thank you!
