Probably not but asking anyway

Was thinking maybe a pure charger with:

Oath eth ettin (15 magic absorb)
Spirit st 8 abs
Horazon boots 30% mr
Bane’s wraithskin 30% mr

Gets you 60% magic resistance 23 flat absorb

Guess it’s not enough, how does the abyss damage work though?

60Mr and 23sorb isn't enough to fully heal, but it would take off most of the damage. If the abyss lock is doing let's say 4562 with the main hit of abyss, with that setup you would only take 166 net damage (or 235 if you're at full health).

Seems like it’s something at least, enough to not get oneshot all the time I guess.

Guess we gonna need juvs on top :/

The dot is the bad part anyways. I'm not sure about the calculations for the dot itself, but if you wore that really limiting gear, you would definitely take a lot less... But problem is, how you gonna kill them in return? Even if you ran eth oath, you're not getting through that demon.

After patch though you should be able to 2-3 shot them I imagine?

Okay just looking at my own abyss lock and doing the math, I did about 5kish average with abyss on PTR (not fully bis or anything, so it could be a bit more), there's an an initial hit that only does like 3k, then the dot itself does the 5k per second... So with your setup, you'll be taking like 350ish when you first get hit, then 220ish (not looking at calculator again lol) per second until the dot is gone. So it's still pretty heavy but you wouldn't be one shot.

But this isn't including if you run into any chains.

Sounds like you would need to stack MDR in your sockets too lol. Stick a mal in your Bane's and might as well just not use spirit and use a jewelers monarch of negation (6 mdr + 4 sockets) and stick 4 mal runes in there. + Wear diadem of negation with 3 mal runes too. Then you would take a lot less from the abyss dot, but do bullshit baby damage in return.

Yea seems like that won’t work I guess xD

Charge still does some damage but warlock is way too tanky anyway and they can get maxblock without sacrificing anything anyway :/
