I do not recommend meet Souls until you at least have access to T4 Dirk , as well as enough skill points to max both Soul Shaper and Soul Vortex . This Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 Warlock Build descale with your weapon and will palpate bad early on .

This is not meta , but it is viable and potent . If you ’re meta - chasing , play Chaos Warlock or else .

I strongly commend keep up withSorcerer , Wizard , and Warrior levels . Warlock benefits immensely from their class titles , and this chassis shape under the supposal that you ’re raze all classes .

I typically start with phlebotomize Ritual for consistency , however if you ’re at a lower NG and do n’t find the need for sustain early you’re able to start with unforgiving Souls

Sudden Death does not knead with souls

Orb Upgrades

Priority is as follows , top to bottom

1 level : Leeching RitualMAX : Relentless SoulsMAX : Soul Cleave / Vortex Shroud / AgonyAny levels : Life Siphon / Essence Harvester1 level if needed : Mana Siphon

All other climb are not useful . DO NOT foot rip Ritual , it will block you from regain Leeching Ritual .

fallal

Attune anything related to weapon focal ratio , spell damage / crit , spell public utility company ( stun , confuse .. ) , or justificative

command

The only one that works with Souls is All Spells , do n’t bother investing in the others . Poison does function with Soul Vortex , but Soul Shaper is the majority of your damage as you go up to higher NGs . fortuitously , weapon - based “ spell ” physique , mana is not an issue whatsoever .

Playstyle

Warlock is not a tank . You will have high-pitched hp and keep , but you could not take multiple cock-a-hoop hit in quick chronological succession . you could afford to take damage , but do not intentionally strain to tank high damage enemies such as archers ’ shotgun arrows .

This build plays at nigh to mid - orbit and can easily abuse corners to address with dangerous enemy groups . individual travel fairly slowly , so expect ranged opposition to have time to burn down their rocket at you .

Clear hurrying will feel lackluster until you find Relentless Souls upgrades , they are very of import .

Arristais an actual boss on poison builds , and you will have to learn the competitiveness . conception have high poison immunity and will take a while to kill , but it should n’t really be a problem .

Misc

Weapon Power does not affect Souls , nor does weapon command . soul inherit your weapon ’s damage values and type before any growth to their wrong .
