Anyone knows if Blood Oath works for all summons or only Bind Demon?
As Demonic Mastery is plural and Blood Oath is singular it seems like it might only work if you have "Bind Demon".

Blood Oath
(Passive) Bind the lifeforce of your demon to protect from enemy attacks.
First Level
Life of your demon: +50%
Resist all for your demon: +14%
Physical damage to your demon reduced by 2%
+5% damage taken goes to your demon

Demonic Mastery
(Passive) Enhances your summoned and bound demons.
First Level
Max demons: 1
Attack rating: +25
Attack speed: +5%
Damage: +10%
Run/Walk speed: +10%

I did some googling this morning and it sounded like blood oath applies to all summons. But haven’t tested to confirm.

also wondering if tooltip is true and +skills can make this a 1pt

Demon can be used in some cases as the plural of the singular

You're putting way too much credit into the phrasing of the tooltip when these skills were coded so haphazardly they rarely do anything like what they say
Hell, blood oath % redirection works even if you don't have any demons summoned

Fantastic. Thanky for the info!

Well what you expect from blizzard employees

Doing the best with what they got

hmm does it? haven't done a strict test here, but based on observation in duels I do seem to take more if minions die.
Things do work weird in this game tho so I'll test at some point soon.

edit: are you talking this patch or last, actually just remember testing vs hammer damage last patch and having minions up did reduce damage by a significant amount as opposed to none, have not tested this patch.
