P.S. Any time I say "additional damage", true damage is fine too. Actually it's better. It's just annoying to say additional and true all the time.

Ngl, reducing your cast speed by 10% just to use a light plate hat and plate gauntlets really doesn't seem like a good trade-off. You can just use a leather cap and riveted/reinforced gloves with armor rolls, and you'll basically have the same stats + empty perk slot and faster cast speed.

Always love the videos man, pushing the warlock class to new heights!

RetroRay is a name i keep seeing get killed in different youtubers compilations.

Ayyy you found a way to make Demonplate work 👏 this build looks nuts! Cyclops Cball price is going up now 😂📈

great vid as always homie

Love seeing how happy demon form makes ya

Best video to date, came just in time to watch during lunch, thanks for the good tips bro. Keep cooking :D

my build i swap demon armor with vampirism for more hp from drain / strikes. i use leather chausess, lightfoots, leather gloves (bc theyre cheap), leather cap, occultist tunic, cloak of darkness, triple agi jewels and i have 320 MS, 180 AR, 145hp in a pretty cheap kit since no one buys occ tunics/leather gloves. youre not getting that much out of demon armor for the -10% cast speed and -1 perk slot. I also like running curse of weakness over flame walker (personal pref). If you land 1 curse of weakness you can send it and win even if you're gear gapped.

you already know theres a great video coming when the bongo starts playing 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I’m convinced, that your hearing, is so good, you can hear me liking your videos

This looks so fun

Im gonna have to try this asap

W vid W build!!! 🔥

Видео про то, как взять таланты на демона и на тяжелые доспехи и не использовать их. Отличный "рабочий билд"!

I like how for most builds movement speed is important

I love the build, movespeed is a must on demon form and stacking it with some PDR is boss.

Those curse of pains vs the rogue were tragic brother

That streamer discount tho

Euthafro idk if you watch/know Party Chip but he made a video about Dark Offering you gotta check out if you havent seen it. I think you should make a video using that build because you can get over 100% magic damage and keep the stacks at all times its a crazy build

Finally, demon form where it should be

Bought the whole build, went into FIRST match on highroller GC, after 2min, stepped into rangers trap, he was camping on top of lifts in middle the whole game, got three shot, RIP gold...

That ranger in the second clip was 1 arrow away. I'd say his only mistake was missing.

I've been playing platelock since the season start and I haven't really been able to make it work outside of being fun. I have never had a time where demon-form WON me a fight I would have lost otherwise and many times where I wish I had phantomize instead. I feel like 35% PDR is basically nothing, especially with every class having innate access to armor pen. You have 0% PDR to a rogue with a dagger and 10% PDR to a cleric, which are the meta classes. Even at 35% PDR your EHP is barely affected. You need at least 66%PDR to have any noticeable gain in HP over just running +HP and vigor on your gear. It always comes back to caster lock with MS and 150HP being tankier, faster casting speed, and more damage than a build like this because of how armor pen and match-ups work. If you opt to run a racecar platelock build with chapel, light gauntlets, fine cuirass, loose, and lightfoots; with AR on everything and a good heater shield you can reach ~60%PDR and ~290-300MS; which is the breakpoint of where racecar fighter starts to work. Demon form does make you stronger than a fighter, but anyone can out-run you and the meta is clerics who are untouchable in a melee fight. Honestly, the best effect I've had for fighting clerics is to bait their smite and just phantomize on top of them; then take the 1v1 after their skills are on CD. Otherwise, even with 70% PDR in demon form with 180HP; a smite cleric will still 3-4 shot you (I've tried). The only benefit of heavy platelock is that you don't insta die to rogues, which can generally be avoided with good awareness on caster lock. This video shows you being a good warlock and doesn't show demon form being a benefit. Everything done here could have been done better with a more traditional caster lock and phantomize, sadly. I would like to see you take a stab at a more traditional PDR fighter build on warlock though. I think dark bolt is better than a fighter with a bow and bloodstained is one of the best buffs in the game. Aim for 290-300MS with a minimum of 50% PDR and phantomize. Try to play it like you would a PDR fighter. I found that Dark Plate is a better choice, especially with anti-magic because it makes you basically immune to wizards, helps with the cleric match-up; and has better MS. I feel like this build isn't even a plate build and I'd like to see something more focused on a PDR play-style. ♥

Can you try stacking max buff duration on everything with demon lock + dark offering? I feel like by itself it might not be great, but with a bard a 15s+ accelerando + allegro would be crazy, just a build idea.

Don’t feel to bad retro made a lot of gold with that build in duos yesterday I watched his stream lol

How can i adjust this build for trios? Do i drop demon plate? Do i go full melee or still hybrid with book?

would love to see you play this with a zirkzis :D

Is build with pure melee/phantasm also good or casting is must ?

Build looks hella fun! Would you say demon form or blow of corruption is better overall? What situations does each excel over the other?

These seems heavily reliant on gear, so what do you recommend running when you’re farming the gold for the gear?

video in a nutshell: @ Let me show you broken demon build @ *proceeds running away clinging to life from any barb that was able to hit him a few times* @ *running 5 minutes to catch 1hp rogue missing 99% of spells* @ *buys 500gs build to be able to kill 200gs rogue and still lose half a face after 1 hit from ambush*

Hello,i have a question im new in dark and darker(60 hours) and i love warlock but i didnt find a crystal ball that seems good,did you recommend any in special thank you!

Isnt worth replacing demon with BoC? You didnt used demon form too often and with boc you could drop soul colector for something else

Zero to high roller was a great video. Is there any chance for more ?

what if you cast POS on yourself before engaging in battles, i feel combined with bloodstained it would work pretty well right?

Yo been watchin some of your vids but i cant decide/figure it out Which build would you recommend as solo warlock? also havent played the game thaat much

can you get loose trousers from squire in warlock class?

I think anti magic is good but torture mastery is to good to pass on

I had no idea you could use weapons in demon form lol did that change? I thought all you could do was punch and dark bolt

Do you think demon build is stronger than BoC? I noticed that in most kills in this vid you didn't bother transforming and just went for stabbing, isn't BoC just better in most cases in the vid? I would like to try out demon, but I feel like the health drain is just too much and doesn't offset the beneifts.

Thought you couldn't lifedrain your hydra anymore, this a couple weeks old?

Is the cyclops eye better thab shield?

Hey, I know there's a small chance you'll see this, but if you can, please answer the question. I play on Europe as a warlock and almost every class outpaces me in speed. Looking at your videos, I see that you run the fastest, how? I wear light armor or rags, but I still run slower than you and not much faster than my enemies (at the speed of barbarians and warriors). How to achieve such a speed of movement? Only with the help of very high level equipment? I am writing with the help of a translator, sorry for bad English

I feel a lot of people complain about warlock. It's kinda always happening regardless of how strong the class is. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on why that might be. Maybe I'm crazy for asking this but do you think the issue stands with how it feels to fight/lose/win against them and how the varying warlock playstyles play or do you think it's more an overall class design issue and the class' mechanical themes should be changed as a whole?

13:45 I think he just misplaced that build is fine its hatchet with blood exchange Achilles good for all ins but still barb is just not quite as good as really everything else..

Woah how did he cast dark bolt in demon form

Nah rangers just have a ton of hp now

you couldn't move that one barbarian opening the portal because Iron will prevents them from being knocked back.

mr fro ;3

Demon form got buffed?

cool build but it seems like you only used demon form a couple times lol, mostly just killed ppl with bloodstain and the kris in human form

Hydra life steal needs to be removed Thats wild

What are all the weapons you can use while using Blood pact???? I’m late to the party last time I was really active was just before Druid dropping

17:09

isnt antimagic only really good vs wizzards?

DEMON FORM GIVES YOU MORE RANGE???!!!

subscribed ?

Love the videos man but you gotta curb that tendency to complain the moment other people get any sort of advantage over you. You're kitted, you're a warlock (which is very annoying to fight for most people) and you have a very obvious crafted item. People are going to want to kill you. Otherwise good stuff.

funny thing is that you don't even use demon form that much and looks like you're using it only in already won fights

Gave his kit back for 2k gold 💀 streamers bro

this build good if I'm naked?

its like everyone can play this stupid warlock just waiting for the nerfes

ur gonna get it nerfed again bro chill 😂😂

"Organic Teaming" is the dumbest term I've heard in gaming to justify shit behavior xD

To be fair... this can be done with any class with agi and a bow. This kiting meta is boring.

bro that stupid slow effect from smacking ur casting hand on the wall has to be reduced or removed that shit is so dumb why tf it take all my MS and i am stuck in animation

Im so early :)

yep, that build is real fkin irritating

not even calling this build pedolock is scummy

He's not a worse rogue , the game servers are just garbage.

You're dramatically bad, dude

stop the dagger shit....they are gonna further nerf daggers cause of these ridiculous youtube builds people are lining up in the que with. warlocks and fighters shouldnt be able to use daggers....come on. stop it

Super boring dnd video ngl

I get it dude baiting viewers with the Demon gimmick, but tbh I dont think its a good showcase of the Demon ability, this video is almost 30 min long and you spent like 30 seconds total showing demon gameplay, you barely transformed and the 2-3 times you did, you gained almost nothing (except for the lizard barb kill but even BoC would;ve worked better in that scenario), and killing timmies with avg gear, its not something I would call "BROKEN". This should been a Kris dagger+Cyclops Vision Build, but I know that probably doesnt pull as many views. Hope you improve your content in the future.

Demon-lock hype! (My favorite warlock content to watch) Also KRYSS. DAGGER. ON. TOP.
