Okay, guys, let’s dive into my journey of crafting a Warlock Strand build.
So, I started messing around with Strand on my Warlock, thinking, “Okay, what can I really do with this?” I’d seen some cool stuff online, but I wanted to make something that felt like mine, you know?
First, I jumped into the Aspects. I knew I wanted to lean heavily into the whole “threadling army” thing, so ‘Weaver’s Call’ was a no-brainer. Every time I use a rift it would spawn a few threadlings . And then, “The Wanderer”? Oh man, it looked cool. It creates a tangle when you suspend the enemy, which is awesome.
Next up were the Fragments. This is where things got interesting.I started experimenting. I equipped a ‘Thread of Rebirth’, and more threadings would spawn when using strand abilities .Then I used the ‘Thread of Evolution’ to make those Threadlings stronger. After that, I also tried to make the tangles stronger using ‘Thread of Fury’,so that I can get more melee energy. Finally, to improve my ability, I use ‘Thread of Warding’ to get woven mail when picking up an orb of power.
Gear time! I started hunting for armor that boosted the stats I cared about. Of course, it’s all about those stats. I went all-in on Resilience (gotta stay alive!), Recovery, and Discipline. I found a pair of boots and was excited. And don’t even get me started on mods! More grenade energy, faster melee recharge, that kinda deal.
The weapon I tried to pick, I think it can goes with anything really, I just used my favorite weapon to go with the build.
Gameplay loop:It is all about throwing those grenades, popping rifts, I can suspend enemies and generate a * Threadlings swarmed and deal damage, I was having a blast, I keep on testing and changing with different fragments, armors and modes, until I think, yeah, this is it.
It took some time, some tweaking, and a whole lot of explosions, but I finally landed on a Strand Warlock build that I’m genuinely stoked about. It’s all about controlling the battlefield, and just being a general menace. It’s not perfect, and I’m sure I’ll keep refining it, but that’s the fun of it, right?
