Yeah that is fair. I will try it out and see how it goes. MQ Gear will be:

119 ee lvl 55 dagger
109 ee lvl 55 padded robe
33 dex charm
113 lvl 55 heal

So the gear is ok, but nothing amazing. I guess does that count as a bad heal charm? Not sure of cut where it might be useable (same with the EE robe)



Yeah makes sense. First time climbing so i will try and it out and see how it goes!


it is a decent heal charm for a new warlock, but warlocks already stat int, so their heal potential is ++++ compared to a melee class. i would straight up double/power with 100 vit. your double strike should be 81+.

also looking at your character, a mid-range dex robe set until 35 may be better than EE for efficiency like i mentioned earlier

yea with that gear I don't think you'll be able to kill fast enough or heal fast enough to mitigate the damage you're going to take, but do a run and see where you need to adjust, and as you improve your gear you can adjust your play style :)

I was concerned about that, but have never used salvation so wasn't sure how much it would heal. Sounds like it will be useless healing?

Ahh fair, maybe I will try that. Then i should ideally kill more for more Shrines?

salvation needs high int OR a great heal charm (ideally both) to be worth the charge time and focus. i think you're catching on quick bud. good luck!

fair warning, your first push to 77 will be disheartening. but even bufcore (solo self found hardcore) players can grind to mq with enough time

Something some do is explore but set their whistle to level 1 so when they need to heal themselves they can do so w/o taking damage and then once done healing they resume the explore

Yeah I saw that somewhere, so i could try that, but not sure how slow that will be? Can heal then shrine after all my mana is gone.

Thanks! I did do a pally climb with a 91ee sword so I am used to the grind lol (have upgraded quite a bit since then). Buffcore sounds terrible though..

I will give both builds a try unless I pass first time LOL.

Nice gear... As people stated... tweak out what abilities / stat points that you find comfortable while using that gear.

Test out 2 Ability & stat placements first before moving onto 3 abilities.
... Dblestrike / Powerstrike
... Dblestrike / Retribution
... Dblestrike / Salvation
Note: by level 55, you can have 58% & 51% charge on any of those 2 combinations. Now you have to decide and test your stat allocation.

How you add your points from 1-55 is dependent on your climbing gear. You may do the first 25 levels using stat robes etc. Up to you, also first 3 points to Dblestrike, then other etc.

Doing the 2 ability testing, you should come to an understanding what 3 abilities you may choose.
