The difference in power between a random Warlock demon... and a fully decked out mercenary (A2) is pretty hilarious.

I bind an act 1 Fallen = facetanks a group of Extra Fast venom lords in Hell Chaos

I equip my lvl90 holyfreeze A2 merc with Eth Treachery + Eth Um'd Andy's Visage + Eth Insight/Obedience = dies in 3 hits to Andy while Faded, lmaooooo

It's either the devs purposely overtuned the Warlock, or they didn't test him at all.

There's no inbetween

That sounds like how it’s supposed to be. If your demon died to every amp pack you saw it would be worthless

It’s also something that doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change clear speed at all. People just love to whine

1 bind demon is stronger than an entire pack of Necro skellies and revives

Who's the summon class again?

Mercenaries do 25% damage to bosses, demons deal 100%
Mercenaries often have ~3500 life with BO, demons can reach ~2-4 million
Mercenaries can hit for ~6k damage, demons can hit for ~25k

Every class has Merc, only warlock has demon. It's not unusual that a class specific skill is better than a commodity one. So your claim that Blizzard didn't test it does follow.

You other claim about Necro summon vs warlock is an entirely different discussion

damn, demons should be buffed more imo

those number are too low!



i mean, going back to the original topic, the guy i'm replying to basically admitted that mercenary dies to every amp pack.

Demon can stand there for literal hours and barely get tickled in front of an amp pack
