Not only this, but-

I have noticed that the defiler binding makes me aware of monsters around the corner quite often and I like that 👍🏻

But I don’t wanna use cocaine while playing d2r to stay alert enough not make me click my bound demon with that consume

I’ll take the 4% damage over the rest, life and frw is useless anyway since it’s impossible to die on a warlul

I feel you

Depends. Consume wins on paper, yes. But Levitation Mastery isnt too bad. It lets you equip stuff like CV bases or Mauls much easier, which is kind of comfy and grants you Life. Also, using two Defilers instead of consuming one isnt a big mistake imho and it also keeps you from munching up your Hephasto or your Immortal Balrog from Uber Izuals Den.

[005] Days without consuming my Urdar

I dont get it. Consume goat, summon 2 defilers, no? Why consume takes up a demon slot?

Because thats how it is. Consume takes up a Demon Slot for its Duration.

Is your approach better? Difference is in Hex and about the points that go there + maxing consume instead of hex purge.

Fine approach for sc, for hc the one you quoted is much, much better.
