Nice, yep... trying to squeeze out an enigma mist/buriza/demon machine + razortail build that has 125 fcr


No need razortail, you already get 100% pierce using mist/buriza
this way you get 20% more fcr from belt

belt 20
gloves 20
helm 20
amy 20
2x rings 20
= 100 fcr

sadly without fcr on both hands and enigma you can't really build for 125fcr
you'd need to use a fortitude bow/xbow lol

I'd recommend you stick to 75fcr on bowlock :p

edit:
the demon machine + razortail is not a bad option if you have a chant sorc
but tbh, that 2 man build is not even performing better than a well built bowlock without chant

it will be hard to reach your ias breakpoints if you use bane instead of purge
unless you use a fast base, in which case you prob just sacrifice both phys and magic dmg at the same time


I see, well I was using grief but with the new table I'll probably use a 2h weapon. Also how do you get the fanaticism aura? I thought the new requirement to bind super uniques was changed to 20 hard points into bind demon? Sorry if not Im just a big noob on warlock lol

Yea I just tried. Just gonna go with 75 which TBH is fine. I just need to figure out if things like Opalvein/SOJ or Arachs/Gheeds or Shako/Hellwarden/Circlet are better.

20 hard points to bind a super unique mob
20 soft points still unlocks the capacity to get aura enchanted

Yeah you should use a +4 range weapon, that's the only thing that makes cleave feel good
+3 is meh
+2 (grief) I can already taste vomit

I'll save you some time...

hellwarden
gheed

rings depend on your other gear, as long as you reach your breakpoints, soj and opalvein are just as good on that build

Would a Giant thresher or Thresher be a good choice as 2h weapon? I like these more :angel:

GT = +4 range
Thresher = +1 range

The sad thing is that polearms swing slower than spears on warlock’s cleave.
Max 13 fpa instead of 12.
So you get faster swings AND more dmg per hit if you use a WP.

Thanks a lot for this.
Seems that for my cleave horazon build (or most physical cleave build), ebotd war pike is the bis. Definitely better than my death colossus blade.

i run a ebotd war pike cleave warlock before , the only annoying thing is the poison nova triggered by ebotd , wish we can disable it lol

basically tp -> cleave , elites or champ packs usually just die in 1-2 swipe
