nah no panic there.
gear just swapped anyway since you losing phx monarch, so you just gonna wear meph book. got ur fcr back there. Just means more expensive other fcr slots hehehe

phoenix was overkill anyway, it's already beyond the point where everyone got 100k+, to have 150k+ - it was just for fun and big daaam

Insight gonna be amazing with +250% AR

Why are people going on about insight As if non eth polearm/staff won’t stil have big damage, can still absolutely be viable, just will be refocused on qol vs raw damage. Ebotd and death will still work..

well echo dmg got nerfed across the board. No longer multiplicative.

so you kinda need to make back dmg now

but biggest offender was the amp procs tbh...
5% chance now is VERY VERY low. Amp spray from my bind demon was what carried my shit day 1 geared Ladder mule warlock that i made just for anni hunting. it made my 20k dmg be able to kill dclone n stuff with all the other gear being like white socketed garbage and random magic items lol.

Conv heph should still work, you just now can’t bind a random demon and it have conviction from the high level demon bonus

But if you bind a demon that already has conviction that shouldn’t change anything, unless I’m reading this wrong

Any mathematician can run the numbers for the new echo? How hard is going to change? It's going to hit like 25% of what deals now?

I was reading it the same way.
They wanted to make it so hard points were required, which was a good fix but really doesn’t matter to those who seek out specific monsters.
It seems like they made it so no one will stat it beyond a few points and seek out specific aura/curse/enchants.

Yeah I read it again and it’s just referring to the aura pool that the skill provides, so you can still bind conviction hephasto assuming you’ve put 20 hard points into bind demon for the super unique bind

thanks for clarifying that
