Also pride will be replaceable now

“Removed Conviction Aura, Holy Fire Aura, Holy Lightning Aura, Blessed Aim Aura, and Might Aura from possible pool. When these roll they are now replaced with Fanatiscm, Vigor, Thorns, Concentration. Holy Freeze can still roll on a bound demon.”


actually it wont.
u still will rock the might act 2 merc with pride (we want as much dmg boosters we can get with all the nerfs coming). Then you gonna go with either fanaticism for more off weapon enhance dmg and the much needed attack rating boost ... or bing a natural VIRGIN conviction aura demon out in the wild (so u no longer relying on the RNG spawn of random aura from bind demon skill itself. Just means more RNG hunting for ur forever Mr. Slave...).

So its gonna come down to Fantacism for more paper dmg and a small attack rate boost.... vs lower sheet dmg but conviction removes almost all monster defense to allow ur shit low attack rate to actually hit stuff.

Really it's a big L to all non indestructible ethereals.


We had it coming tho, it was in the back of my head the whole time,
there was no way they gonna let us use OP Obsession + Phoenix all at once, it's just too good.

Meph Books are gonna be even more valuable since nobody is gonna wear Spirit that much like now.

I’m sure there will be some more changes after PTR. A least one of those seems like a fix, in a good way.

They are so OP I feel like everyone should have expected some sort of nerf.

Would love to see some improvements to the other classes though.


actually i dont want them to do "improvements" to other classes. Because they just gonna get the warlock treatment. Overbuffed for 1 ladder season, then nerfed heavily after.
If i want to have that type of play experience, ill just keep playing Diablo 4 which is what they do ... over buff then SUPER nerf it after.

ES locks massive nerf incoming Season 14 :

Echoing Strike : Reduced damage synergy bonus from 5% to 3%.

Fixed Echoing Strike damage bonuses to be additive and not multiplicative.

Fixed Echoing Strike not rolling to hit.

Fixed Echoing Strike not incurring durability loss on the weapon.

Warlocks can now only equip a two-hand weapon in one hand if the other hand is using a grimoire class item, not a shield.

Cursed Affix chance to cast Amplify Damage skill reduced to 5% from 75%.

Removed Conviction Aura, Holy Fire Aura, Holy Lightning Aura, Blessed Aim Aura, and Might Aura from possible pool. When these roll they are now replaced with Fanatiscm, Vigor, Thorns, Concentration. Holy Freeze can still roll on a bound demon.


Say bye bye to your Fortitude/Doom/Insight Eth & Spirit/Phoenix Monarch metas, gg cursed demons, smite like ES, you'll need AR now.





Courtesy heads up before you splurge sir
