This is not how it works.
CS is an oskill, buffed by +skills.
On a standard setup it will reach around 65% crit.
But CS is a 3rd source of crit, and just like DS is does not stack.
This is how your final crit chance is calculated:
100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - DS)*(100 - MCS)/10000
*MCS = any weapon mastery (barb, sin, warlock)


No, merc has higher lvl might than demon.


Holy shock has the smallest radius of all 3, and no defensive ability, so it’s clearly the least effective one.
Holy fire has the biggest radius, best offensive option has it can trigger amp further away ahead of time.
Holy freeze has a radius that falls between the 2 above, pick this if you want the extra survivability from slow (this is pretty much neutral offensively as it may prevent some mobs from converging in your AoE, but also prevent them from moving out of it)


Seriously, just pick the first cursed with whatever holy aura you get, it’s fine, don’t overthink it.

So i should run HF + Cursed on Hephasto then Pride with Might on Merc

Like I said twice already, cursed + any of the 3 holy aura
This is close to irrelevant. So irrelevant that you will lose more time trying to get the one particular aura you want rather than just sticking up with the first of the 3 holy aura you find.

Yes, pride + might merc
Give him CoH and Cure.

Put insight on yourself, sell your fort to a noob and make profit while also improving your build.
125fcr
20 hard points in blood oath
20 soft points in bind demon (before cta so you don't lose one when BC expires)
use 2 defilers, don't consume unless you do ubers/ancients

There, this is all you need to know to achieve the absolute best ES warlock.

I gotta say the safest route is the best. People can talk about crit and everything but bottom line, my HC Warlock ONLY has the crit from point in Lev Mastery plus Skills, which is 2x%. As a weapon I use Obsession and thats it.

Overcapped All Res to the point where lvl 12 conviction does almost nothing (Lightning even 85+Absorb, Fire Absorb as well), also max Block., 4.6k Life, pdr cap plus max Blood Oath, 7% Dual Leech, 30 mdr, 30 Magic Res, CBF while I still have 50k sheet damage and 200% mf. I can kill T5 Heralds in full games in a few hits. Not even a single Eldritch Skiller btw. Only Demon Skillers.
Havent used a potion in days and tank everything without even trying to be cautious. This includes T5 Doll Heralds surrounded by terrorized Soul Bosses.

All you guys theorize about Crit or whatever...its pointless with Echo. Just go full defense and thats it.

oops, typo that I can't edit:

Obsession + phoenix is way better
I personally tested insight, fort, ariocs and botd, Nothing come close to obsession, it allows you to have 125FCR super easy with a bunch of +skills and you dont need to worry about resistances allowing you to use even more skillers.

Insight in the main hand is like the 4th option.
