im mostly wondering whay demon skills neee what points, and if echoing strike synergies even need to be maxed. I'm using the warlock set and an insight and im doing like 62k damage lol. but my survivability sucks. demon doesnt seem to be taking damage. also indont know what other demon skills to use, should I have any other summons with me? I only can have 2 demons atm

i run consume with 3 demons with Demonic Mastery lvl 20 (+ skills from items included, excluded your +1 from BO i think)

I put 20 points into Blood Oath (but I also play HC.)

Max Blood Oath

Max echo+synergy

20 soft points demon mastery

1 pt bind demon

1 point each sigil (siphon keeps you topped off always)

1 point lethargy

Rest into whatever, I put a couple extra in levitation for a bit more crit chance

Run 2x defiler for more aoe. Consume is completely unnecessary

With Blood Oath+leech you can't die

max blood oath because it’s op af
mastery to 21 with bo (so you don’t lose demon when your bc runs out)

i prefer defilers + cursed/holy aura demon

If your demon ain't taking damage and you have survivability issues you definitely need blood oath as it diverts damage to on you to demon. Depends on your +skill, 1 point might be Enuff.

Also hex:siphon and phy. Ward to fine laek and some damage sorb. Also 1 point wonders.
