Diablo Immortal: The New Meta PvP Warlock Build

PvP Lash of Pain & Burning Ascent Warlock Guide

This build is recommended as the best PvP Warlock because it deals very high damage for a PvP build with Lash of Pain for a wide spread area of effect attack and a recastable 120k life absorb shield with Burning Ascent. You can also use the Untouchable Mountebank four set without sacrificing too much damage. This build uses the Command Fallen primary attack with Lash of Pain, Burning Ascent, Siphon Life, and Infernal Eruption. Lash of Pain gives a large area of effect attack when you use your primary attack that burns opponents and knocks them back and Infernal Eruption knocks opponents into the air which gives crowd control and deals AoE damage. Siphon Life is important for increased damage, increased attack speed, increased movement speed, and a large 30% life heal, and Burning Ascent gives a long ranged dash attack that can dash in and out of danger while also granting a 120k life absorb shield and immunity to total loss of control.

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience Duskprowler with the Savior passive which gives a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior but only Duskprowlers and Ash Sweepers can have 170+ Resilience. The Tenacity passive is great for lowering the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield, the Guardian passive is great for healing, and Steel Hide is strong on tank builds for increased block chance.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong for PvP because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for three seconds. They can also have 170+ Resilience which reduces the cooldown of Savior.

4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as a budget option.

5. Rare Duskprowler - Guardian is the next best familiar passive because it heals you when you drop below 50% life. Innervate can reset one of the player's cooldowns, Phalanx increases your damage and defenses, Precision gives critical hit chance to your familiar, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield which are all also desirable.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and use a combination of Citrines and Topazes for potency and resistances in yellow sockets for the highest refinement. Potency increases harmful effects durations on enemies and resistances decrease harmful effects durations on you. Citrines for potency is preferred if you only care about PvM damage but resistances come into play more with PvP matches. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires for increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them into your equipment if they give more refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the normal gems are socketed in.

Gem Notes

The new Enigma Latera five star gem beats Blood Floe on builds that constantly use primary attacks and it steals beneficial effects. The Leviathan's Tomb five star gem also deals more damage than the older Fated Trail gem. When using multiple increased critical hit chance legendary gems like Roiling Consequence you should also consider rolling increased critical hit damage on your equipment with Reforge Stones for more damage. The Frozen Heart five star gem should be used for PvP for an absorb shield on this build and it also chills opponents which lowers their attack speed and movement speed.
