Description
Believe it or not, some monsters may actually survive even a high-level Apocalypse blast, so you should cast something else during the cooldown of Apocalypse (1.8 seconds), assuming that you can stand still and do not have to move to avoid taking too much damage.
Key details
- You have two options as a Fire Warlock: Ring of Fire or Flame Wave.
- The latter is only about half as fast as Ring of Fire but does about four times more damage and even leaves some burning patches on the Ground (like Meteor but smaller).
- So your choice as a secondary damage spell should be Flame Wave.
- For Baal and other tough bosses, attack like this: 1x Sigil of Lethargy, 1x Apocalypse, 2x Flame Wave, 1x Apocalypse, 2x Flame Wave and so on.
- Recast Sigil of Lethargy if it expires or if your enemy moves out of the circle.
D2Emu Tips
- The range of the skill is always the same but can be stopped by walls, slopes and other obstacles in the path but if it hits a doorway (or stairs/steps) it will go through the opening but only as wide as the doorway is.
- Patch 3.2: Reduced base damage scaling by around 15%.
