Since the 100 cap, nearly 95% of all warlock skills are useless vs Holy Spell/Word.

Something like that ... for pure Warlock/Cleric ... but dont make one, you'll regreat it.
This is for 90 cap, you need 2mils for lv.100 cap... not much new skills Warlock-wise, just take AOE division.


Do I need to explain why some are useless? I'll do that (if you want) after I get back from school.

are the ones cross out are useless

Yeah

and why r they useful?

Useful or Useless?

Dots - if you're not fimiliary with them, they go like this (most of warlock skills follow this pattern)
(Second row of skills) Single Target Burn, Poison, Bleed, Dull, AoE Burn, Poison, Bleed, Dull
First two single target dots are useless because they are poison and burn, and I find bleed & dull much better, you'll use dull & bleed on 1v1 anyways, poison and burn are here only for fast grinding (solo) which sucks and gets boring fast, I suggest you to find a party if you wanna level up... I wouldnt get them...
AoE Burn is not necessary, since you got already 3 AoE Dots, and I never found myself using more than 3 (you can cast each of them twice).

Debuffs - similiary pattern as Dots
(Third row of skills) Single Target Physical, Magical, Impotent, Division, AoE Physical, Magical, Impotent, Division.
I personally didnt take Single Target Physical because I was more 1v1 pvp oriented, and since I have magical damage only, physical debuff doesnt mean anything to me.
AoE versions of debuffs, well, you'll use them in grinding, their casting time is slightly longer (as every version of AoE) than single target, but thats okay, still, I'd use only AoE division in parties, since you'd be more useful DoTing with AoE than debuffing (more zerk + more stacking DoTs - you can bring up 4++ Dots on single mob)... if you're planing to PvP in groups, people will ALWAYS have holyword on themself, meaning your AoE debuffs fail... Anyway, you dont even need AoE impotent, just take AoE division...

For the last skill I didnt take, thats the range-decreaser debuff (single target and AoE version) ... I just didnt find it useful at all, I can waste time on casting better skills than that one.

Hope I helped, if you have any questions, feel free to ask

Since you've got one and you've played around with it why isn't it worth it to make a pure Warlock/Cleric?

Also how much SP did you farm etc.

I do agree with your points though, the burn and poison from the first two curses can easily be cured with a universal pill ... sucks.

it's true that a cleric is the warlocks greatest foe and at the same time the greatest prey^^

did you try to overcome a cleric's healing with warlock skills?!

it's easy I need around 8 seconds to kill a cleric (healing himself) on my level and I'm pure int warlock cleric... 2 dot's (switch to cleric use healing cycle(it's faster than healing orbit)switch back) and than vampire (to get my hp full) than start attack with my normal attacks^^ and that in 8 seconds^^ it's funny xD and quite depressing

Dont know, just doesnt feel right, gets boring... definetly not a character you want for your main. Cant explain, try it and you'll see.




PROTIP: Kill anything full Int (100% kill)
Disease--> Trap--> Sleep--> *wait 2-3 seconds* Glut Healing --> Over Healing --> Glut Healing.
Always kills full int, always.
