how much gear do you need it for 8 ppl difficulty ?

my build, test it on live server 8 player game works great. wouldn't be effected by nerf next patch, because none of the skill it used are impacted by nerf except maybe ES require ar to hit. but magic explosions dont require ar to hit target.

Curious, why obsession and not void?

mass life, resist, fhr, 4 skill and 65 fcr. void is really good for abyss build, but for purge you gain about 100 damage but lose insane amount of qol. not worth the trade off, also that base on you are getting 15% magic damage void.

thank you for the build advice,

could i ask, is merc the only tank? is there any other tank like bind Monster options ?

secondlly before obsession, what other weapon suggestion at earlier stage? is insight still good at Purge build?

thirdlly, any sigil would help at this build at all?

What’s an purge warlock?

Warlock using Purge, perhaps.

you can bind monster, but non of it seem worth it next patch. all option are crap and require minimum investment of 15 base point, might as well summon 3 defiler(consume 1 for magic damage). in this build, any weapon with +x to all skill will do early game since all damage comes from purge. I guess early game you can just use spirit / ondal until you get enough for obsession. you can always put 1 points to lethargy, but I would just pop on hex bane when it comes to boss.

So it's magic damage with hex purge using mirrored blades?

nope you still use es to spread hex purge, fastest way with the longest reach.
