Warlock Magic damage based on INT?

Post by MrFudge »

im wondering if the curses you put on people are based on how much INT you've got.

so far it sounds like "puts poisoning curse on enemy which does X amount of damage over time"

and doesnt sound like that damage is increased if youve got more int.

so is it absolute damage? i know there are skills which are entirely magic based, im not concerned about those.

just wondering if a pure str warlock would work, just stuning and weakening the person to death.

uhh i dont believe its absolute, because ive seen the pics/vids of the curses doing over like 600+ per second, where in the first place the curse does under 700 damage over 12 seconds so its enhanced soem how. but im really not sure

A warlock's skills are magic so the more in you have the more damage you will do every tick.

So lets say a pure str warlock did an attack that ticked three times for

230+230+230 = 690

So three ticks did a total of 690 damage over time but a pure int warlock did the same attack and hes the same level doing

1020+1020+1020=3060 over time. So yeah... You can try a pure str warlock if you want. I don't know if you'd like it as much as a pure int.

There is no such thing as a good strength Warlock, Warlocks weapon is ONLY Int and Magical damage based, adding strength would defeat the purpose of making your magical balance and magical attack stronger.

i was thinkin 2:1 but warlocks are really gunna be the hardest class to hit. 2 stuns 80% probability + shield theyll prob be equally hard to kill as a visible rogue IMO. im goin pure int

A hybrid warlock is just a warlock with a little more hp (depending what kind of hybrid you are) and will never do as much damage as a pure int warlock would.

my guess is 2:1 hybrid lock will do equal damage to pure int chinese nuker. with more life and has stuns and more skills. so pure int will be signif more damage i think.

Noo way1!!1
Think about it MR, a hybrid spear gets extra health and can deal more damage with physical attacks.

A hybrid warlock would only get extra health and no other benefit.

no.

wait.

hybrids will suck, the entire point of euro is to have pure builds, thats why weapons only have one kind of damage on them (either magic or physical)

but also, the d.o.t. skills will inflict status effects like poison/burn which are not effected by int, and also the warlock has a bunch of set damage skills (like this one where it does damage if you step inside a certain radius, or the life steal) and those arent based on int either. i think a funny build would be warlock, pure str, but also have warrior as sub-class. cast stun, poison, burn, lower enemy defense, switch weapons and then go at it.

also you would be able to wear full heavy armor.

Doing hybrids will only get you a certain amount of another stat, but it will never work out as an advantage in attack powers, as Melee weapons are ONLY physical attack and Magical weapons have ONLY Magical attack. Unlike the chinese which has both attacks.

One-Handed Sword - Only Physical
Two Handed Sword - Only Physical
Dual Axe - Only Physical
Daggers - Only Physical
Crossbow - Only Physical
With physical weapons you cannot cast magic, or do nukes or whatever, you are restricted to using the skills that are meant for the weapon.

Warlock Rod - Only Magical Attack
Wizard Staff - Only Magical Attack
Cleric Rod - Only Magical Attack
Harp - Only Magical Attack
With Magical weapons you can only use magical attacks, and have no physical powers whatsoever.

Post by CMG230 »

s owhat happens if i run outta mana on my warlock. just gotta sit there and tank till i can hit again? gunan suck at lower lvls. would be smarter to go warrior/warlock as sub. i almost did a rogue with lock secondary to weaken them

haha yeah i DID (not almost) a rogue with warlock secondary and it turned out pretty well.

easy enough to take down party mobs, just poison burn and shoot.

but it doesnt really matter which one is the sub, they will both be the same level.

full int sounds good..but I just can't stand to have a full int char with low hp even with alchamy i'd prefer to have some extra hp so i guess i'd go hybrid for the hp maybe not alot but enough to have decent hp.

you wouldnt be able to kill anything, and you wouldnt even be able to heal yourself that well.

you would have 10 magic attack when everyone else has 2500.

Since even Pure str Euro chars die in a few hits....hybrid would kill the dmg on warlock. Hit as hard as you can....Pure int.
