With an obsession build you could go tgods, stormshield, wisp, dwarf, hotspur all at the same time and be the most unkillable fuck that ever fucked
I have never felt remotely threatened by elemental damage in PvM with just max resists and max blood oath and 4k life after consume, and it takes contrived scenarios like a P8 TZ96 herald 5 group of 15 skeleton fire mages with conviction aura to kill you. And then I'm not sure even that gear would save you.
For 99.99999% of the game there's really nothing that can kill a warlock who is leeching back to full hp while having an effective 28k EHP vs elemental / 8k+ vs physical and has a demon tanking everything with millions of HP

I've been farming Baal with my friend and didn't come even close to dying. Do you cast lethargy? Is blood oath maxed? What about your resistances?

Don't need more than a point in levitation. Max blood oath instead. Cursed is most important attribute for Hephasto. Consider Obsession (+60-70 resist, +15-25% health) instead of BOTD if resists are still a prob. With obsession you can also potentially ditch the magefist and still hit 125fcr (laying of hands is good)

I'd also ditch the War Travs for boots that provide more resist or other utility. You don't really need more MF on top of enigma/shako (Insight or Obsession also have MF.. hint hint)

money cant buy brains

there was a nice pizza movie in the 80s where money bought you the pizza boy for 30 minutes


do you want the pizza boy

i run with negative res in p8 game and do herald5 easily

The only death I've gotten all the way from level ~90 to 97 was making the mistake of leaving my fire resist negative and using a merc with flickering flame to bring it back up to 75%. Which worked great and took barely any damage from anything with 20 blood oath and max resist. And died in a single volley to a group of P8 TZ 96 tier 5 herald fire skeleton mages that killed my merc, removing my fire resist. And if my math's right on average 14 mages at +50% and the herald at +250% deal a combined average ~5600 fire damage per volley, which after -20% resist and 43% blood oath would become ~3840 hp. Even that was an easily avoidable death if I had just bothered to put my demon in front of me.
and granted thats out of thousands of games and not playing even remotely carefully, teleporting into dolls / souls all the time and not caring, etc etc

think for me bbg
