Having selected the Warlock for my class, I've been experimenting with different approaches and have put together the best Warlock leveling build in Last Epoch, which we've outlined for you. Best Warlock AOE leveling build in Last Epoch Skills Rip Blood (Specialized) Summon Skeleton (Specialized) Chtonic Fissure (Specialized) Infernal Shade Soul Feast Any build in\u00a0Last Epoch\u00a0needs to have a strong skill for clearing mobs and, given the defense of the Acolyte is relatively low, you need passive healing for your\u00a0Warlock\u2014which is where\u00a0Rip Blood\u00a0shines, particularly when specialized as you can significantly reduce its cost and, eventually, make it free when you're out of Mana. In this build, I use Rip Blood as my main skill. Summon Skeleton\u00a0is a core part of this build and should be Specialized as soon as possible to increase its worth. Specializing Summon Skeleton results in a higher number of maximum summons, adding the likes of Skeleton Rogues to your arsenal. Eventually, though, you'll want to\u00a0remove Skeleton Archers\u00a0from the pool of summons for it to work perfectly alongside the\u00a0Soul Feast\u00a0skill. When you use Soul Feast, a summoned minion is destroyed, dealing AOE damage. As Archers are away from the fight most of the time at a safer distance, you instead want summons that get up close and personal. Chtonic Fissure\u00a0is the Mastery skill for the Warlock and is a crucial selection as it forms the main point of AOE damage in the build. The focus is to work towards the Return Below node, which instantly activates any\u00a0Infernal Shade\u00a0cast upon an enemy to deal full damage, resulting in more spirits unleashed from the Chtonic Fissure. The key strategy in this build is to use Rip Blood at every opportunity to earn passive healing and\u00a0build stacks of Coagulated Blood, which can then inflict massive amounts of damage upon enemies. At the same time, cast Infernal Shade as often as possible. Make sure to take note of the maximum number of enemies it can be inflicted on and try to target the enemy in the center of the mob to deal surrounding damage to more enemies. Chtonic Fissure pairs perfectly with that approach and can deal huge damage to enemies inflicted with Infernal Shade, boosting the number of spirits unleashed to result in even more damage. Soul Feast can then be used to sacrifice minions and deal further damage\u2014just make sure to keep summoning minions as and when you can. Passives For Acolyte Passives, the most important nodes are\u00a0Forbidden Knowledge, which improves the Rip Blood and Cast Skeleton skills,\u00a0Blood Aura,\u00a0and\u00a0Bone Aura,\u00a0increasing the base damage and armor for you and your minions.\u00a0Dark Rituals\u00a0is also an important selection, as it opens the door to the\u00a0Etheral Revenant\u00a0node\u2014which has come in clutch for me on any occasion where I've been overrun and my health has depleted significantly. After unlocking the Warlock class tree in\u00a0Last Epoch,\u00a0the focus should be on increasing AOE, fire damage, and anything that boosts Rip Blood.\u00a0Chaos Flames, Spiteful Decay\u00a0and\u00a0Cauldron of Blood\u00a0should be your main focus early on, alongside\u00a0Occultist's Mind\u00a0to increase your Intelligence stat. From there, you have the freedom to improve other core stats like your Vitality, Health, Cast Speed, and Critical Multiplier. Gear For weapons, look for anything that reduces Mana cost, improves Health Regen, and increases Spell Damage, especially if anything pairs well with fire damage or the Rip Blood skill. Armor wise, prioritize any gear you find that boosts Damaged Leeched as Health, Cast Speed, or improves Resistance against all ailments.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Last-Epoch-Warlock-header-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1137587"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1137891,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587\/revisions\/1137891"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1137693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1137587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1137587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Having selected the Warlock for my class, I've been experimenting with different approaches and have put together the best Warlock leveling build in Last Epoch, which we've outlined for you. Best Warlock AOE leveling build in Last Epoch Skills Rip Blood (Specialized) Summon Skeleton (Specialized) Chtonic Fissure (Specialized) Infernal Shade Soul Feast Any build in\u00a0Last Epoch\u00a0needs to have a strong skill for clearing mobs and, given the defense of the Acolyte is relatively low, you need passive healing for your\u00a0Warlock\u2014which is where\u00a0Rip Blood\u00a0shines, particularly when specialized as you can significantly reduce its cost and, eventually, make it free when you're out of Mana. In this build, I use Rip Blood as my main skill. Summon Skeleton\u00a0is a core part of this build and should be Specialized as soon as possible to increase its worth. Specializing Summon Skeleton results in a higher number of maximum summons, adding the likes of Skeleton Rogues to your arsenal. Eventually, though, you'll want to\u00a0remove Skeleton Archers\u00a0from the pool of summons for it to work perfectly alongside the\u00a0Soul Feast\u00a0skill. When you use Soul Feast, a summoned minion is destroyed, dealing AOE damage. As Archers are away from the fight most of the time at a safer distance, you instead want summons that get up close and personal. Chtonic Fissure\u00a0is the Mastery skill for the Warlock and is a crucial selection as it forms the main point of AOE damage in the build. The focus is to work towards the Return Below node, which instantly activates any\u00a0Infernal Shade\u00a0cast upon an enemy to deal full damage, resulting in more spirits unleashed from the Chtonic Fissure. The key strategy in this build is to use Rip Blood at every opportunity to earn passive healing and\u00a0build stacks of Coagulated Blood, which can then inflict massive amounts of damage upon enemies. At the same time, cast Infernal Shade as often as possible. Make sure to take note of the maximum number of enemies it can be inflicted on and try to target the enemy in the center of the mob to deal surrounding damage to more enemies. Chtonic Fissure pairs perfectly with that approach and can deal huge damage to enemies inflicted with Infernal Shade, boosting the number of spirits unleashed to result in even more damage. Soul Feast can then be used to sacrifice minions and deal further damage\u2014just make sure to keep summoning minions as and when you can. Passives For Acolyte Passives, the most important nodes are\u00a0Forbidden Knowledge, which improves the Rip Blood and Cast Skeleton skills,\u00a0Blood Aura,\u00a0and\u00a0Bone Aura,\u00a0increasing the base damage and armor for you and your minions.\u00a0Dark Rituals\u00a0is also an important selection, as it opens the door to the\u00a0Etheral Revenant\u00a0node\u2014which has come in clutch for me on any occasion where I've been overrun and my health has depleted significantly. After unlocking the Warlock class tree in\u00a0Last Epoch,\u00a0the focus should be on increasing AOE, fire damage, and anything that boosts Rip Blood.\u00a0Chaos Flames, Spiteful Decay\u00a0and\u00a0Cauldron of Blood\u00a0should be your main focus early on, alongside\u00a0Occultist's Mind\u00a0to increase your Intelligence stat. From there, you have the freedom to improve other core stats like your Vitality, Health, Cast Speed, and Critical Multiplier. Gear For weapons, look for anything that reduces Mana cost, improves Health Regen, and increases Spell Damage, especially if anything pairs well with fire damage or the Rip Blood skill. Armor wise, prioritize any gear you find that boosts Damaged Leeched as Health, Cast Speed, or improves Resistance against all ailments.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Last-Epoch-Warlock-header-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1137587"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1137891,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137587\/revisions\/1137891"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1137693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1137587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1137587"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1137587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
