A Warlock build is one specific types of build for Diablo 2 that includes skills for damage, curses, summons, and survivability in one single package. Many players makes the mistake of choosing only one skill that they love best for their character.

By doing so, their character will struggle to continue past Hell difficulty levels because they will not have develop their other skills. A successful Warlock build depend on the distribution of skill points between the damage, curses, and summons skills. The calculator included above will calculate the mathematical values for you skill point distributions based on your level and your quest rewards.

How to Balance Warlock Skill Points

By entering your level and your quest rewards into the calculator, you can see how your chosen skill points will perform against the different types of content in the game. Warlock build dont succeed with only one stat; instead, they require both damage skills and heal skill to contribute to their survivability. Players will eventually realize the importance of balancing these stats, but only if they have invested too much into one primary spell.

However, using the calculator, players can determine what will happen if they move some skill points from fire spells to summons. Additionally, using the calculator, players can determine if dropping some utility points will help the character reach the more better faster cast rate. These types of skill point changes will alter the functioning of a players Warlock build in the game.

Additionally, these alterations to the skill points are important to consider the plus skill that the gear has and the mana sustain that the mercenary will provide. Another important skill that players should consider for their Warlock build is the faster cast rate breakpoint. Increasing a players faster cast rate from 48 to 75 percent will significantly increase their game performance.

The calculator will display for players the frame and the casts per second that will result from increasing their faster cast rate. This will allow players to decide whether to invest in gear that provide a faster cast rate or gear that increases the characters resist and life. Both the curses and summons will require some level of investment in order to become effective for your Warlock build.

One point in curses will provide some level of utility to the character, but investing more point will lower the resistance that enemies will have to your damage spells. One point in summons will provide a minion for your character, but investing ten or fifteen points will provide minions that will be able to take some of the damage for your character in Hell difficulty games. The calculator will weigh these two stats differently depending on the path that the player choose for their character to play as a Warlock build.

This will allow players to decide if they have the proper distribution of skill points to support the style of playing that they have chosen for their character. Many players will find themselves struggling with a lack of readiness for Hell difficulty. Despite having high damage number for their character, they may die repeatedly on the same difficulty due to low resists or mana recovery.

The calculator will calculate a readiness score for the player and show them if their character is ready for Hell or if they are still limited to Normal difficulty in the game. There are also a few reference table on the page. These tables include information regarding scaling skill and faster cast rate breakpoints for the game.

While it is not necessary to memorize these skills, they will help players compare the two different skill point distributions for their character. These will help to show players which skill point distribution is the better of the two choice for the players character based off the content that they will encounter in their games. Common mistake include investing too much into one area of skills and neglecting the others.

For example, players may invest all of their skill points into their main damage skill and find that their character perish in the Chaos Sanctuary. Alternatively, they may invest all of their skill points into their summons, curses, and ignore their main spell which will cause them to have low clear speed through the content. The calculator will display these imbalance so that players can fix them prior to investing their skill points into their character.

A successful Warlock build will be a balanced Warlock build. A balanced Warlock build will have points invested in each skill category needed to maintain a strong character. The main spell will contribute to damage output; the curses will contribute to lowering the resistance of the enemies to the damage that is deal; the summons will contribute to the survival of the character by tanking damage; and the faster cast rate will allow the character to move without emptying their mana pool.

With all of these stats contributing to the characters performance in the game, the character will have a steady rate of clearing the content in their game. Additionally, if any of the variable for the character are changed, such as gear or mercenary, if the numbers for their performance remain the same, then the player can be confident in the readiness of their character for Hell difficulties.
