All fire spells are maxed, what should i max next?
Decided on demonic mastery until it gets to lvl 20 (with +skill eq) to get that 3rd demon.
After that maybe consume for that sweet life bonus!




Only available in Classic and Expansion games?!
Got this msg while pressing "G" which used to activate the old school graphics




Damn thats one weird map...




I guess i was running in a higher lvl area than my own lvl lmao




All council members got beaten by this guy Hephasto... crazy.
Oh and i found a Gface!

Started Act 4 with fire build and everything is immune but i am not gonna respec, i think Hephasto is strong enough to just beat this on his own.
Until i met this guy - immune phys and immune fire.




But surprise surprise - Lethargy breaks the phys immune and i managed to kill him!




Was hoping for a Gul or Ist




The MVP skill for act 4

Lethargy feels better tbh, the fact it has a 16 second duration makes it amazing for crowd control.

Gotta catch em all!

Act 4 felt way too easy despite the fire immunes! I dont feel this is hell difficulty...

Cool find, need the other parts!




Ez, defiler binding rly good!




Minions were too strong to deal with - all of them with fire immune, Hephasto had no chance. So i went down to act 1 and did a respec finally! Using magic abilities!




Abyss and miasma chain feel really good - baal HP was melting!




The end.

I will continue testing out the magic and even the melee skills of the warlock, seems those abilities are very strong too.
So far i can say this - this char was super fun but felt too easy to beat the game. Fire will get you easy thru norm and nightmare, in hell magic or melee would be better but as you can see fire got me almost to Baal.
Demon skills are too strong - Bind Demon got me thru hell with 1 point into it. Imagine what it can do with more points?! Imba. Needs nerf for sure.
Gonna focus on my grail sorc now - will try to farm runes and make the enigma for this guy. Also will try to gather materials and beat the new giant ancients!

I would say the fire skills are okay as they are. Druid/sorceress/assassin melts with fire just as easily, and they will get stuck on hell all the same unless they respec or go hybrid.
By the way, you could have cheesed Lister and his minions out of the throne room, then run back to finish Baal off without a respec. :D

I agree though that the demon skills are definitely too strong - stronger than they probably should be with only a single point on them, way stronger than e.g. a fire golem/grizzly/valkyrie/shadow.
I haven't tried magic / eldritch yet, based on what I've seen, eldritch seems overtuned with a 2H+offhand.
