played a good 3 minutes of pub pvp before i got bored again

50k fg bvc with 8k life and 30% magic resist gets deleted in about 1 second (barb doesnt deal dmg either cos of demon zoo, maxblock + max dr + max blood oath)

anything that actually works vs them?

or even a build to oneshot their demon (that should annoy them enough)

well that will be fixed in a week time, as demon will take a big hit.but pretty sure you still gonna struggle because they didn't nerf abyss much vs all the other lock build

yea abyss is def the issue, how will demon take a big hit? any idea what theyre changing exactly?

they be squishy as fuck that for sure, even max mastery I'm having difficulty keeping them alive in some situation. and you need hard points 15 or 20 to grab unique/super unique, that mean less points into blood oath or consume. so in general warlock took a big hit, just not abyss warlock thats all.

How about this— an abyss lock abyss lock killer? Most pvp abyss locks use enigma, but abyss vs abyss doesn't need enigma, it needs bane's armor. Also, snag a magic immune demon if possible. Then your AvA will easily kill their AvE, similar to how a BvB easily slays a BvC or BvE.

Also, your Abyss vs Abyss lock doesn't need max block, elemental res, or physical damage reduction, which an AvE is likely to have. That gives your AvA a huge edge over their AvE.

pretty solid idea tbh

i was also thinking of like a strafe zon with bane armor and horazon gloves/boots with 2x 11 life leech rings (and ofcourse full belt of juvs)

with a razortail belt you'll hit 100% pierce and strafe is pretty disgusting vs anything with summons if u got 100% pierce. and u can reach 95 ias with horazon boots/gloves without needing nosferatu

can throw in a safety shield on swap too for another 10% magic resist (although i think phoenix will just hit harder/leech more)

PSN dagger necro best counter

Pit lords in furnace of pain?
