Need some guidance on warlock echo strike build.

Ive maxed out:
echoing strike
blade warp
mirrored blades

1 point into all demon skills and 1 point into lethargy.

Not 100% sure where the rest need to go.

My setup at the moment is super budget, like crap that I have found playing myself. I can still do p8 cows so damage output isnt the biggest concern even though im using a level 27 non eth insight.

Ive seen arguments for demonic mastery to get a second goat man to consume.
Ive seen arguments for consume to increase damage, although Im sure my damage will 2-3x once I get remotely decent gear.
Ive seen arguments for blood oath since it feels like if my demon can take 40-50% of my damage I should really not die so survivability will be huge.

I also dont know if hex's need to be maxed or if they are 1 point wonders.

Im personally leaning towards blood oath so that I dont really ever die, but please let me know thoughts/concerns.

Mastery til you have 20 soft points is definitely worth it. The extra consume and unkillable binded demons are worth the points.

A lot of guides suggest Hex: Purge, it does add a lot of damage (magic) but unless your doing P8 AoE farming TZ farming, I'm doubting it's worth the points. Early on it's probably worth maxing, I'd suggest just 1 point for each hex once you have a physical sunder.

As you climb into the 90s, I'd pick consume if you like convenience (Not having to rebuff so often is nice, and the extra health is noticeable). Blood Oath is incredible and only gives you the DR with HARD POINTS. There is also a hidden passive that gives your summoned demon an elemental immunity at 8 hard points.
I'd say 8 Blood Oath min, then consume for convenience rebuffing or more Oath if you doing Ubers etc where the extra DR really counts.

Levitation mastery..?

Sweet all that makes sense, yeah Im a pretty casual player at the moment so just chilling.

You said 20 soft into demonic so that I can consume a goat for the life and have a defiler at the same time yeah?

Ill get 8 hard as a base into blood oath since I was thinking about that anyways so good call out!



Just the 1 point. Since I am wearing spirit at the moment anyways, I need to pump up the strength anyways so weapon req isnt a major deal.

max levitation mastery too or go blood oath and consume for more % from that

just make sure you have 10 points in the demonic mastery so you can consume a goatman and have a bound demon active same time

some points goes in to hex: bane, with 1 point into synergy hex: purge

e: oh yea u can put 1 point in sigil:lethargy if u wanna use that too
