Acolyte of the Skin enhancements are available for the Acolyte of the Skin archetype (variant Warlock). Introduced in Update 58.

Overview

This tree is based on a set of passive defensive enhancements and Fire damage, as well as a brief transformation into a strong demonic form blasting at melee range. Note: Fiendskin is a level 6 Warlock feat, and is required for many of the enhancements to work within this tree.

For 3 minutes plus one minute per caster level, enemies that attack you have a chance to take 1d10 Fire damage plus 1 per caster level. This damage scales with Fire Spell Power. SP cost 6, 3 second cooldown

Tier 3

Requires Acolyte of Skin Level 3, 10 APs spent on tree

	Eldritch Blast Shape: Beam: Transform your Eldritch Blast into a magical beam of Force dealing damage to all enemies in a straight line. This scales with 125% Spell Power. While active you have -1 Pact damage die. Note: Width of AoE is rather narrow, range is slightly less than Focused form. Does do punch-through on enemies, does NOT do punch through on destructibles. Unlike other forms, this one tends to be more effective if you disable Auto-Targeting and manually aim the shots to graze as many enemies as possible; Auto Targeting makes it aim dead-center on the torso of enemies which frequently makes it hit fewer targets.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 10	No requirements
	Devil's Bulwark I: While in any armor, your Fiendskin now grants +1 Natural Armor per 2 Warlock levels.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 10	No requirements

	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 3	Progression: 10	Requires: Power of Desecration: Fire (Rank 2)
	Fiendish Glare: SLA. Unleash your Fiendish power as you fire your Eldritch Blast in a cone from your eyes. All enemies caught in the burst take 1d6 Evil Damage, plus any other effects and damage your Eldritch Blasts produce, and may become Feared just at the glimpse of your true form. This ability shares a cooldown with Cleave, and the damage scales with Spell Power. [8/6/5] second cooldown. Available Metamagics: Empower, Maximize, Intensify Note: Area of effect is slightly shorter and wider than the Cone stance form of the Eldritch Blast, and it has no effect on destructibles like crates.

	AP Cost: 2	Ranks: 1	Progression: 10	No requirements

	Devil's Bulwark III: While in any armor, your Fiendskin now grants +1 Magical Resistance Rating and Magical Resistance Rating Cap per 2 Warlock levels.
	AP Cost: 1	Ranks: 1	Progression: 30	Requires: Devil's Bulwark II
	Fiendish Symbiosis: Transformation, cooldown 3 minutes. You call upon your fiendish patron, transforming into a Demon for a short time. You gain 100% Fortification, heal from Fire damage, and gain Natural Armor equal to your Pact Dice. While in this form, you no longer Eldritch Blast at range, instead you lash out with demonic claws at a short range melee Eldritch Blast that scales with 200% Spell Power. Entering this form is so frightening that activating this ability causes nearby enemies to become Afraid. You may only maintain your Demonic form for 30 seconds, but its duration increases by 5 seconds for each Core ability you have in this tree.
