Blood Boil is a massive power boost for the Warlock, as it now gives him the ability to have a Corpse Explosion level of power without needing corpses around. Remember that it does hurt your demons though so using Engorge every few casts is a necessity to heal them back to full.

Some of the best places for this character to farm are the Terror Zones as he does really well farming Uniques and Champions. Blood Boil is not great vs bosses but Tainted Fire Damage is extremely high now so they can melt them quickly.

The following section discusses how many attribute points should be allocated to each of the primary stats.

Enough for gear — Strength should not be too high but if you are wanting to use Spirit or Phoenix you will need 156 Strength.

Enough for Gear — Dexterity is great for increasing Block Chance, particularly with Stormshield, but if you are not planning on investing points to max that out, it is often not worth taking any additional Dexterity, as the return on Defense is very low.

Everything else into Vitality — 250+ points. Every excess attribute point should be allocated to Vitality, as long as you can meet the Strength and Dexterity requirements of your items by the time you wish to equip them. Not only does this increase your Life total, but this also increases the chance for Healing Potions to crit, doubling their healing output. Furthermore, additional Life reduces the chance that you will be put into hit recovery.

Nothing — Allocating attribute points to Energy in a final build is universally considered sub-par for almost every character due to the widespread availability of Mana Potions. While leveling, if you find yourself struggling with Mana you can allocate a few points to Energy that you can then remove with a respec later on.
