Hello, I'm curious what skills/builds (Warlock) people have been successful with in some of the end game content?

Things like Ubers, Uber Ancients, etc.. I know they are quite successful with TZ farming and basic end game content. Mostly curious about things typically relegated to a single class (i.e. smiter for uber trist)

Thanks!

Newb question here, but are you talking about the energy shield sorc skill?

Also, what do I have to do to turn my warlock into a warcock? That sounds like an upgrade I need in my life.

not as good as a portal barb but echoing strikes can do literally everything, it can clear hell p8 with just a weapon

Hot damn that is wild it can do ubers too.

lmao I have played this game on and off for decades, and just now discovered the absurd capability of portal barbs. The more you know I guess...

Thank you.

he means echoing strike (es) which is 100% going to be nerfed in next patch, so don't bother

by your logic the ephemeral nature of existence means we should enjoy nothing. What a dull way to pass through life. It is better to have loved and lost and all that.

warlocks are awful in endgame pvm and pvp and everyone gave up and made better chars on new ladder, mostly hammerdins and wind druids

ES (Energy Shield) warlock is very good. I've seen lots of posts about it.

Portal barb for easy effortless play. ES Warlock for a bit of challenge. Then the rest if you want to grind, which I prefer and doing currently since I built the two best builds already
