2:50 u can jump up from the left side. It’s really frustratingly just couple pixels so something you have to practice a ton you use in a fight under pressure.
Let's be real, bard was a reigning king in a way. Super strong class that nobody ever complained about, except when it was first added with cleric buffball back in the day. But since then, not many people point put how good it is.
Which you end up saying anyway lol. Also, you can't really use it on second wind, you can and it does eat it but usually fighters activate it mid combat with a small respite before leaping back at you.
For anyone wondering why you lose the shards or any buffs randomly. There is a glitch with the wisps that their AoE attack applies to you no matter how far you are, even if you didn't encounter them or aggro, so to avoid that you need to kill all the wisps in the map. It's very annoying but once you get rid of them you keep your buffs.
While you don't need to kill the wisps on the map, you do need to kill the ones that are aggroed. Will only happen if there is A player that has aggroed with a buff up. Still annoying af.
@Squall598 i think dispels on mobs is insanely annoying. Sometimes you spawn in with your squad, you can't buff them on bard cus you gotta kill wisps and by the time they're dead, your teammate is calling out ppl nearby. Just annoying to the flow of the game. I'm fine with players dispelling my buffs, it's honestly only fair. But mobs is just something there to piss you off.
Also you dont need to have Soul collecter to get souls! if you have freinds you could make them pop a blue pot and use spell predation on them and you can farm souls that way also works with any Buff/skill like barb rage or bard pretty nuts
I ran soul collector warlock for a couple hours last night and came to similar conclusions. The problem with this build is that you lack a good finisher. Ray of Darkness should be good, but I think the 100% MPB only applies to first tick so its useless? Damage w/ 5 shards should be 12*(1+1.25 MPB) + 7 True = 34 damage PER SECOND, but it doesn't feel like it. Instead I've been trying to abuse MS with this build and get 108%+ and use BoC instead of Phantomize once enemy wants to W key after all the kiting with (CoP CoPow, CoW). Warden outfit for decent PDR and movement.
Kinda what I’ve been doing except just been running curse of weakness with sac and pain and having max ms without buffs so it’s impossible to be caught
I mean the plate fighter matchup for any caster right now is cursed. That's not one class btw. And barbs also stat check fighters, depending on skills.
''the bard matchup still not great'' bruh, u can take all his buffs, gain 5 all, deal a bunch of damage and get plus 100% dmg on your next bolt against a class with on avg like 10% magic resist. its the definition of a fantastic matchup.
I think he was pretty gear gapped which made the fight seem hard. Bard was faster and still hitting hard with no buffs. Yeah just saw the gear and this was what happened.
@@FoxmanSlays I think it's all right in solos, but it's hard to use (timing has to be amazing vs hard matchups but stripping sprint and rage is crazy on paper) and it is tough to lose 1 of 5 spell slots. Would love seeing a perk that adds a slot to the wheel for wizard and warlock both.
@ bro the gear gap was massive. Any significant nerf to bard right now will gut the class for solos and it will get replaced in in trios by either double support or sorc/wiz.
Not everyone is for pvp, I did play druid for that reason.. avoid pvp, enjoy pve.. And I'm the person that in RPG does not use boosting pots and food until the end of the damn game because "i can need it later" so now with limited shifts I'm not even playing my druid -_-
i main solo warlock and id have to say no if you dont mind me giving my input. def a lot stronger but i wouldnt ever say its one of the strongest solo classes. you gotta play so much better than who ur fighting, well at least against melee classes. druid and rogue matchup is so unfairly tilted to their side to win too. i think i could say with confidence that a really good solo warlock who makes warlock look good would probably preform better, win more often, and have an easier time when in losing positions if they mained another class instead of lock
@ imo he had to just run right when phantomize was pressed. And either choose to fight in tighter space (around some corner in a corridor) or just straight up exit the dungeon)
@ he can’t catch up, he has to take out chest piece to make up for the low ms, u can just BOC and he’s prob dead, best option was to hit cross bow shot
With +5 why would people use dark spells now. So you just want to lose +5 all for one missed dark bolt. It's much better to make use of the buff isn't it?
The shadowbolt absolutely annhilates people tho. If you need some burst damage, it is absolutely worth it. Killed a few barbs who would have otherwise owned me post-phantom by just doing the little hop away and blasting it in their face.
9:28 your stacks just go away for no reason, im guessing a wisp or something used dispell on someone else and it just aoes the entire map or something ?
@ I tried it but it doesn’t feel like it works well and I have 180fps so it’s not an FPS issue, do you continuously scroll spam or just scroll alittle?
That’s me in the thumbnail, Jelkek. Ofc I die to the month old book swinging mechanic, gg
Ggs brother

starting off with the book bonk was hysterical, good shit
Bard catching strays this patch
Let's be real, bard was a reigning king in a way. Super strong class that nobody ever complained about, except when it was first added with cleric buffball back in the day. But since then, not many people point put how good it is.
*magic prot*
*crossbow*
*drum to the head*
the restraint it prolly took to not pop phantom in between that skelly and druid. a clencher for sure
Should of asked the Fighter if he wanted to buy his kit back. KEKW
Spell predation is better on plate lock or in duos/trios, you steal all their buffs and then curse weaken them.
Which you end up saying anyway lol. Also, you can't really use it on second wind, you can and it does eat it but usually fighters activate it mid combat with a small respite before leaping back at you.

stacks just randomly disappear
Dark reflection?
@@jesseholloway7714 no 9:26 doesn't get hit. its when he cancels curse of pain they just gone for no reason
@@theslicer4430 oh rip that's weird
Classic copper hammer moment
Spell predation will go insane in trios, just taking away buffball stats like crazy
i love this build bro 😭😭
Also you dont need to have Soul collecter to get souls! if you have freinds you could make them pop a blue pot and use spell predation on them and you can farm souls that way also works with any Buff/skill like barb rage or bard pretty nuts

It wasn’t cut throat and you randomly lose stacks at 9:25
95# video i tell foxman to keep saying yo in every beginning of a video
So what exactly happens at 9:25? canceling your own spell made you lose all stacks?
Yeah Idk what happened. My only thought is that his spell selection thought process made him charge and cancel a dark bolt?
@@tpav1994 you can scrub frame br frame with . you can see they disappear before then and that its when he cancels curse of pain
@theslicer4430 sick I didn't know that. Probably best to just report that as a bug then.
I swear every single dark and darker player says bruh and they all say it in the exact same way lmao
BREHH.
it sounds so stupid. it really turns me off everytime i hear it, BREH
@marellius2868 Yeah, I kinda hate it as well. It just sounds so stupid
You should try the ray of darkness. I love Kamehameha ppl in trios
Warlock is kinda a character now like melee caster actually works now it's crazy
Wtf is this syntax. 😂
I love it when fighters call casters busted just because casters are the only class they cannot outperform in every way.
I mean the plate fighter matchup for any caster right now is cursed. That's not one class btw.
And barbs also stat check fighters, depending on skills.
hey bro im over here chilling watching ur vid, did you know that the dark bolt travels good distance ?
Why is he switching his crystal sword like that?
no equip animation can swing instantly
Foxman brother I'm learning warlock what do you use for base kit? Any tips?
jooyae did it already. demonlock with weakness and predate
W patch
babe wake up furry warlock repoze uploaded
Been a while since I’ve played, why do I see people swapping their secondary weapon to the main slot? Is it faster than hitting the hotkey?
It skips the pull out animation
YURR W
+5 All is crazy man...Thank you SDF for another broken shit
The buff Warlock are insane like this 👍 or like this 💩? its not a bad question i think hehe
👍
"peep new vid and see how much of a bot u look like" 🤣🤣
Lmao bruh the fighter at the end was so salty
You lost your stacks before he hit you. Definitely a bug.
''the bard matchup still not great'' bruh, u can take all his buffs, gain 5 all, deal a bunch of damage and get plus 100% dmg on your next bolt against a class with on avg like 10% magic resist.
its the definition of a fantastic matchup.
Ur right I misspoke, bard matchup was already favorable. But tbh I don’t recommend running spell pred in solos
I think he was pretty gear gapped which made the fight seem hard. Bard was faster and still hitting hard with no buffs.
Yeah just saw the gear and this was what happened.
@@FoxmanSlays I think it's all right in solos, but it's hard to use (timing has to be amazing vs hard matchups but stripping sprint and rage is crazy on paper) and it is tough to lose 1 of 5 spell slots.
Would love seeing a perk that adds a slot to the wheel for wizard and warlock both.
Bard is mega overtuned lmao
@ bro the gear gap was massive. Any significant nerf to bard right now will gut the class for solos and it will get replaced in in trios by either double support or sorc/wiz.
You didn't pick up a belt you missed 2 of them
Why switch sword and book between primary hand?
it instant swaps, its kinda a bug
Not everyone is for pvp, I did play druid for that reason.. avoid pvp, enjoy pve.. And I'm the person that in RPG does not use boosting pots and food until the end of the damn game because "i can need it later" so now with limited shifts I'm not even playing my druid -_-
Warlock is one of the strongest in solos now or what? (also the fighter fight was so sad, he just doesn't know how to play around phantomize)
i main solo warlock and id have to say no if you dont mind me giving my input. def a lot stronger but i wouldnt ever say its one of the strongest solo classes. you gotta play so much better than who ur fighting, well at least against melee classes. druid and rogue matchup is so unfairly tilted to their side to win too. i think i could say with confidence that a really good solo warlock who makes warlock look good would probably preform better, win more often, and have an easier time when in losing positions if they mained another class instead of lock
he didnt have sprint theres nothing he cant do tbh
@ imo he had to just run right when phantomize was pressed. And either choose to fight in tighter space (around some corner in a corridor) or just straight up exit the dungeon)
@ he can’t catch up, he has to take out chest piece to make up for the low ms, u can just BOC and he’s prob dead, best option was to hit cross bow shot
whats on the rings
+1 added magic dmg
With +5 why would people use dark spells now. So you just want to lose +5 all for one missed dark bolt. It's much better to make use of the buff isn't it?

Wisps dispelling is entirely toxic btw. Fuck, ik it's a hardcore unforgiving game, but it's damn annoying.
What’s crazy about you almost dying all the time
It’s 1000g gear vs 20,000g gear lmao
how are you b hopping so well?
Macro probably
@ isn’t it bannable?
Put jump on scroll wheel its easy
@ I tried it but it doesn’t feel like it works well and I have 180fps so it’s not an FPS issue, do you continuously scroll spam or just scroll alittle?
@ i just have it on scroll down and i only hit it right when im about to land
bro I main bard how could you do this to me lmao
i hope they give phantomize a charge in exchange for the +5 next week disgusting playstyle
