I think mang is slightly more damage, but the reason why I recommend avoid, even though I don't personally make use of it like this, is because if you use a void, most variations can hit 125 if they swap teleport

bane pretty clearly requires successful hitcheck

Is it possible it works differently vs players than mobs?

Demon build using a bow/physical, nice to see for Ubers
If I had to respec for Ubers, I would probably use a melee weapon idk. Mostly demon there tho

if you max bind demon he can solo ubers you dont even need to atk, cheap option is just use black and res gear can do too no problem

I've been using bowlock since warlock came out and have tested out many different variations to figure out the strongest possible optimizations. I firmly believe this is it (in my video above) and can defend each gear choice if anyone wishes to challenge it. I also have a few videos showcasing the clearspeed of the build, outside of just a quick p8 chaos demonstration in this video.

My first question was going to be how you rolled that mist, then I saw that this was an edited character. My next is about your defilers taking so much damage, how/why?

Yes, it's hero edited so that I can test damage vs damage of maximally optimized build variants.

Defilers sometimes take a lot of damage because it's p8 zones that I'm playing in, and often terrorized depending on the content you are watching. They rarely ever die though.

I mean, I play in P6-8 terror zones exclusively, and even when I don't BO they don't take damage like that. It looks like they're about to die many times. I'm legitimately surprised and wondering what is different about your build that allows that to happen.

I think there is only maybe one or two examples of that happening, and iirc it's vs a special mob of crushing blow enemies or something. Or perhaps in my budget versions, which have less skill points into Defiler and blood oath, so they have less health.
