what would be the best weapon base for a fortitude for es warlock? dont wanna waste a LO rune

Best is Eth 15ed thunder maul

But largely doesn’t matter. Any high damage 2h base will be fine.

I’m using a 5% Ed war pike

A 15ed thunder maul is gonna be around 10k if not more.

The war pike was $2

Seconding this sage advice.

thank yo

thank you for the good tips

An even cheaper route that makes the rest of your gear easier and cheaper is using an Eth insight.

Given your budget constraints and wordiness about wasting a rune, I would suggest you opt for the insight route

The damage difference between the two is extremely minimal. And you can make an argument that insight ends up doing more due to the critical strike, depending on your gear setup.

Because how overpowered warlock is, you aren’t going to see much functional difference between a perfectly built warlock and a budget build one.

The only real difference you will ever notice is that a perfectly built one will take a Couple less hits to kill T5 harold compared to the budget route
