Mirrored Blade Warlock

MeleeUberBudget

A melee Warlock specializing in Uber Tristram content. Mirrored Blades creates reflective copies that hit alongside you, dealing physical damage that scales with weapon damage. Combined with Grief runeword, this build trivializes Uber bosses.

Play Style

Teleport to target, activate Mirrored Blades stance, and melee enemies directly. Your blade copies attack in sync, multiplying your damage. Use Hex: Bane to debuff tough enemies. For Uber bosses: pre-buff CTA, engage one at a time, rely on Life Tap from Dracul's.

Pros

  • +Excellent Uber Tristram build for Warlock class
  • +Grief Phase Blade + Mirrored Blades = insane single-target DPS
  • +Relatively budget-friendly for an Uber build
  • +Hex: Bane debuffs boost overall team damage

Cons

  • -Poor AoE — melee range with limited splash
  • -Requires respec from caster leveling build
  • -Squishy for a melee build — needs Life Tap from Dracul's
  • -Not competitive for general speed farming
