Overview
Behold the mystic desecrator from the east, whom can be easily played with only 1 hand while face tanking everything in Mystic XV (I am currently at T100+, but I was told he can easily push to T500+).
Introduction
A friend showed me this build and I immediately fell in love with it after trying it out. I named it Oriental Desecrator because my friend said he was inspired by a similar build on a Chinese gaming site. This build is designed around the Desecrator set. I will try to upload a show case video if I get my screen recording to work:)
** This is not an ideal build for those who just reached the end game, because it has low magic find and requires 4 True Legendary gears with runes to be effective. **
For players who just reached the end game
I strongly recommend you to follow one of the 0 TL magic find build and start farming LR/Rune stones while gear up. One example could be find here:
I used one of bz’s build to farm up my current build.

[link]Overview
Pros
- Extremely tanky, face-tanking all the way.
- Easy to play, only need to click LMB/RMB. No micro needed.
- A very strong warlock build to get your feet wet.
- Capable of pushing Endless to Tier 100+ easily.
Cons
- Might be hard to gear up, requires several TL gears and Great runes.
- Need to be at around M400 to be effective.
- Low movement speed (depend on Soul Wrap to travel around)
- It gets boring when you just steamroll everything.
Stats
Unbuffed Stats for reference
Skills and Masteries
Notes
As you can see I put most of my Mastery point into extra HP for better survivability. This build does NOT depend on Mastery for damage. So you should be rolling comfortably at around M400. (notes, because of Lucilla’s vision GR, having additional HP actually increase your dps as well.)
Gears/Runes/Gems
You can play around with runes and random enchants, it doesn’t have to be exactly like mine. I just find the following to fit my play style the best.
Notes
Heartstone does NOT nullify “One for all”. Although your stats panel will show 0% resistance, the calculation for one for all is done before Heartstone rune’s effect kicks in.
Gameplay and Rotation
I bind all my active skills (except Soul Wrap) to LMB. (Just go to Settings – Keybindings, and then set all skills’ hotkey to LMB)
Gameplay consist of the following:
– Right click to blink into enemy cluster.
– Hold LMB for 2 sec.
– Right click to blink into the next cluster.
– Repeat and profit.
Yep, it’s that simple.
In order to facetank, you will need to keep attacking (hold LMB). You will die if you just stand idle and do nothing.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a face-tanking easy to play Warlock build, I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
Due to current Endless progression system, it’s just too tedious to keep pushing to deeper levels. So I stopped pushing shortly after T100. Once the developer implement the skip mechanic in next patch, I will truly test the limit of this build.
Thanks for reading! I will try my best to answer any question/comments~
Enjoy!
