I play an ES Warlock, and I'd like to remove the UM rune from my tome. But to do that, I need to replace a skiller with a resistance charm. What can I add to my tome that's worth the 3k damage i lose, since I miss one skiller?

passing from 79k to 76k

Question 1: Why do you need resists on your warlock? Warlock with demon is invincible.

Question 2: Why would losing 3k damage matter when you 1 shot every single monster except bosses?

3k dmg?
that’s what you’re worried about?

drop the skiller.

you’re already overkilling everything. 76k, 79k… same thing. mobs still die in 1-2 casts.

fix your res > chasing fake dmg

and NOOO: Blood Oath is not fixing your res, it’s just reducing physical dmg

Answer 1: Im playing hardcore i like to have always max resist.

Answer 2: dont really matter, that's why I'd like to know what I could put on my tome to replace my UM rune.

It's all damage. Physical damage only was a rumor.

you can test out a random 35-39% ed jewel that you find, though its a total waste even if it did net 3k, i would just keep the um in it. 3k dmg isnt much on ES Lock.

all these noobs stressing over dmg this dmg that when its just overkill is a sight to see.

I understand you want to be safe, but with blood oath you really will find it hard to die if you have at least like 30% all res or so. But yes, why not stack res if you want, because that 3k damage means literally nothing.
