I dont know man, all remaining points in consume seems like a waste, no? Why not boost Hex Purge a little more instead? Is it because of the buff duration?
Overall, since I only play hc, this suggestion seems like a great hc setup tho since damage is enough anyways, which might the the point here now that I think about it a bit longer
I went blood oath and demonic mastery instead of consume with the reasoning that soft points don’t count towards blood oath - and was unimpressed with the hexes. If I hadn’t done that I would have gone into consume.
Anecdotally, my clear speeds increased over having marginally more damage when I did this and spec’d away from strength.
Results may vary but I found when I wasn’t worried about badly placed teleports putting me in danger (more of a risk on Xbox) I was able to play a little more aggressively.
