Halls of Torment: My solo builds based on the update (2024.05.14

Extermintor with some upgrade and items has the best basic skill. it is easy to use and every attack can apply burn.

U have 2 choice: Arcane rift or Meteor.

Meteor can crit after it expledos so has benefit from crt chance, cirt dmg and dmg traits.

Arcane can cover the whole map. Till upgrade a bit hard to play with.

Items:
Mark: Exterminator
Helm: Ruby Circlet
Armor: Blazing Shell
Boots: Firewalker Boots
Gloves: Sparking Tips
Amulet: Elemental Resonator
Rings: Ring of Fire, Guiding Star

Meteor: I prefer this, since it has better visuals and we are using 1 mark so a bit easier to pick the right traits.

1. Blast + Frenquency
2. Blast
3. Shower – Upgrade Fireball
4. Blast
5. Blast + Frenquency
6. Shower – Upgrade Burning Craters
7. Blast + Frenquency
8. Blast
9. Frenquency
10. Shower + Blast

Triats: Focus on Hellfire, Fire affinity, Metabolism, Area, Range, Def. Metabolism is the only heal so pick up if there is nothing else.

U can use pots on Hellfire or Fire affinity 3X2. Doesn’t matter the 2 does the smae thing ur only traits that boost ur Burn.

We are boosting area, attack speed, range and multisrike to help meteor cover do whole area.

U don’t have to blow up ur rifts and the more u have the more burn the enemy can get. They can stack each other.

Arcane:

1. Blast
2. Blast + Occurence + Frenquency
3. Bloat + Occurence Upgrade: Elemental Rift: Fire
4. Blast + Frenquency
5. Blast
6. Bloat + Occurence Upgrade: Rift Splinters
7. Blast
8. Blast + Occurence
9. Occurence
10. Bloat + Blast + Occurence

Pots on Hellfire or Fire affinity 3X2 are same.

There are 5 changes:

1. Arcane can not crit and do little dmg, so here u can ban dmg, crit chance, crit dmg, block, hero traits, cause we using sage mark so u will have bunch of hero traits, that u don’t need.
2. We using Sage Mark, to get asap the upgrade. If u don’t use it u have 5 to 1 luck to get the rigtht upgrade.
3. We using all of the lock potions on Arcane.
4. Traits: Ethereal shift – A – Equilibrium, B – Magic.
5. We only get Hellfire 1 – 4 in this case. U can skip Conflagration.

Warlock can have the most life at the moment with new upgrade.

Warlock seems has a bunch of choices but not at all.

The pets from the rig don’t do to much dmg, so we can skip them. Sure u can make a bunch of pets but end of the day they are better options to boost only 1 summons then 10.

I tested beast huntress but not good at all, not mcuh def, hp, and +% summons are better anyway.

Summon abilitys:

1. Spirit warriors:
Best of the best. U can have more, they hit really fast and hard, they don’t move. They are just living tower.

2. Orb:
They can benefit from the +% summons, but cause of range they are limited to do dmg. Further dmg is low.

3. Golem:
They just useless… when they roll they do little dmg and they cannot be benefit from the +% summon traits. Only good when they hit in a range and area, but spirit warriors even better for that.

Spirit warriors is the best for do agony 5.

Items:
Mark: Sage U can go with warlock but at some point we need the upgrade asap and we don’t lose to much.
Helm: Vision Crown
Armor: Blood-Soaked Shirt
Gloves: Invocator’s Grasp
Boots: Pace Setter
Amulet: Shepherd’s Boon
Rings: Cooper Wooden

Spirit warriors:

I tested bunch of version and the best to have +summons. So sure u can do with fewer and focusing on base crit chance or base dmg. The problem is the less summons u have the more u have to kite, and they can not cover all the mobs, so u need some + summons and dps is higher even thought the fewer version can crit much more.

We focusing only crit, that’s why we have wooden and Cooper ring.

U can have 1 cunning anywhere, feel free to switch up.

1. Ruthless
2. Cunning
3. Swift + Cunning + Ruthless Upgrade: Spirit Needles U need this asap, and after this u can just stand and watch ur living turret.
4. Coverage
5 Cunning + Ruthless
6. Swift Upgrade: Spirit Orbs
7. Ruthless
8. Cunning
9. Cunning + Ruthless
10. Swift

Traits: focus on crit chance, crit dmg, dmg, attack speed if there are non of theres then hp, def, range. Ban block, hp reg, force.

Hero traits: Warlock – Dedication – Defensive, Proficient Stance – Sacrafice + Summon Vigor x2 1 – 4, Sage – Weapon profinency – Strengthen 1 – 4. Ban that u don’t need.

Demonic exchange – Force 1 – 3. We are focusing on spawns, so this is the best, and since Hp is really strong on warlock we don’t care if we loose a little.

U just double Summon Vigor anytime. This is the reason we can have at lvl 10 4 spirit warrior, 20 5, 40 – 50 6, 60 7. From + Summon % spirt orbs upgrade also benefits.

Note:

Sheperd’s boon heal teh warlock per summon, but don’t really need it, since has huge hp and still can get 50% dmg reduction. Further the Pace Setter is the best for this build, since warlock just stand and get a bunch of heal from it.

If u find the green sheperd’s boon and invoker wich are helps u with summons, not the main waepon one, u can get 10 11 spirit warriors. The best case is: U find green copper wooden shepperd’s with summon dmg and invocator’s grasp. Dmg and summons will be double.

Landsknecht the best char in the game. He can get 0.5% cirt dmg and def / lvl. And the only one that can have sage trait open mind and movement speed at the same time.

U will lvling so fast that u can’t catch up urself.

If u get all the def traits u will have like 75% dmg reduction and u can get 85% dmg reduction with lvl and green chain mail.
