Would really appreciate if someone is able to help me.

Just wondering what the best set up is for Eldritch build.

I’ve seen weapon as E Fort TM, Ebotd TM.

Just wondering for the entire equipment set up for character and merc.

PVM set up. I’m sure there’s different set ups, I’m more looking for a max damage one. If I wanna MF a bit I can do that with some charms I guess.

Sorry if it’s a lot, I’m just confused.

Thanks in advance.

Max damage doesn’t really matter if you’re running a geared warlock any setup is gonna clear.

Clearspeed is probably a better question here.

I’ve tried about all the setups and so far 2/20 circ, eth fort , Highlords (for the deadly strike and crit chance extra roll, idk how this works but i played without it and clear speed notably dropped) , 30+ spirit 10 FCR ring, bk ring, Arach, Trangs, war Travs, enigma. Merc w insight, cure, fort. Bind a cursed heph (curse to proc amp damage- i usually grab one with fant or conviction) and consume a goat and i use the hex that gives L and M after kill and i run P8 tzones and clear with ease. Also no skillers running a bunch of mf scs and i think im at like 358 mf, 125 FCR (130 bc i have a 35 spirit on), 3900 life and yeah. It just destroys. Also the mana and life leech i dont think I’ve come close to dying ever. Maybe those lil stabby guys but then can go to hell. Even souls don’t concern me anymore (was a concern for hdin and nova sorc)

For sure! I’m also interested in what folks think this is just my experience after playing through a few gear and skill setups.

Ive tried a few builds in sp. But im running on ladder with the new set horizons, with obedience, arach/bkx2/highlords no skillers. Bind conviction+ cursed. Obedience in eth thresher is like 950 top end. -25 fire res, set gives lv 30 enchant spell, also weapon procs lv 27 enchant. Im just doing it till I get a good fort base. Ive very little issues. I respec from having extra summon to levitate. Added lots more damage and less req for weapon. Im lv 90 echoing for 90k and still have no skillers or cta . That's with full set and Obedience. I used wizspike for a long time. Its solid was doing around 40k with it. I think youre ok with most of usual gear too but the set is pretty cheap and worth it if you cant afford all your end game gear.

Eth 4os thunder maul.

Dont get 0os and socket bc it will get 6 socks which is why 4os are so expensive

insight eth ca, close to highest dmg, mass critic, 35fcr, free mana, price, BEST in spot, no contest.
Then add what you want to reach 75 or 125fcr. 125fcr feels much better, and it's easy to reach.
