Sorry wrong account. Meant to reply on ^bQQ

Also what do you need to know about abyss @ OP?


I'm not op but:
1. Should I put hard points into enhanced entropy next patch (I guess no);
2. How NOT to be a glass-canon with Abyss (I get jumped and walled by every other Abyss lock), what gear should I use, instead of void and Hellwarden and Mephistos, etc..

Hard to answer #1 until new patch is actually released, things are subject to change.

#2 Abyss is basically one of the most bullshit overpowered pvp spells ever, you really can't defend against it. My only advice is to play much more defensively than the other warlocks and try to stay off screen for as much of the duel as you can and setup your abyss into the area they're going to teleport to. You need to imagine them as a blizzard sorc, except the blizzard can come down instantly. Unfortunately your options to get magic resist are very few and far between right now.

If you posted full gear I might be able to offer suggestions, but getting 1-2 shot by other locks is unavoidable unless you improve your dueling strategies.

I don't see any reason to use wraithstep over horazon boots. You have no source of cannot be frozen (sometimes walking in duels is better than teleporting in certain instances) + the horazon boots add magic resistance which might save you from getting 1 shot in some instances against other abyss locks. BK rings also aren't very good... The + life they give you isn't included in the battle orders formula, unlike rings that add + life by themselves. I guess they're ok for budget rings. And -5 enemy resistance is (for example on sling ring) is always stronger than +1 skill on a vast majority of builds. You could easily replace both your rings with sling rings with -enemy magic resistances or fcr rings with life and resists and then you can wear bloodfists for a huge bonus in life that can be effected by battle orders. All of this might save you from getting 1 shot and staying alive for 1 extra cast is sometimes all it takes.

Idk your financial situation in game, but definitely change your boots first thing. That +1 skills hardly does anything for you.
