Description
Good morning everybody. This build here is designed to take advantage of every major bonus added to warlocks over the years, including new affixes on gear, buffed warlock base damage, and the sun and moon augment system to get even more damage. The main question you might be wondering is:
If I have every bonus and every effect that can maximize blaster damage, can I finally be meta with a warlock blaster?
No, the answer is no. But it is better than I thought it would be! Overall this build manages a 30k-40k dps depending on a few factors, but overall the damage is a lot better than I would have thought for a ranged spell blaster who doesn't use spellpoints.
This build is fairly self explanatory, as you simply blast monsters, swapping between cone for AoE and enervating shadow for single target. Against bigger targets you want to use stricken/consume for debuffs, and you use turn undead to apply a debuff to raid bosses. Other than that, you blast away, sometimes throwing in Arcane tempest if it is off cooldown or the dread mist spell (which does surprising damage)
This build technically doesn't require racial completionist, or really any completionist, As you really only need the class tree, and maybe enough points to turn undead because it is a pretty big bonus for this build. However, it is mandatory to have all of the epic destiny points, so I wouldn't recommend playing this without at least 79 destiny points.
The items will need to be updated for the future as the new expansion should bring some major gear, but this gear list is plenty strong to tackle the new content on R10. In a group of course, this is not a solo R10 build. It's still a squishy caster and your burst damage is non-existant due to lack of damaging SLA's or Ruin/Greater Ruin.
