ES locks massive nerf incoming Season 14 :

Echoing Strike : Reduced damage synergy bonus from 5% to 3%.

Fixed Echoing Strike damage bonuses to be additive and not multiplicative.

Fixed Echoing Strike not rolling to hit.

Fixed Echoing Strike not incurring durability loss on the weapon.

Warlocks can now only equip a two-hand weapon in one hand if the other hand is using a grimoire class item, not a shield.

Cursed Affix chance to cast Amplify Damage skill reduced to 5% from 75%.

Removed Conviction Aura, Holy Fire Aura, Holy Lightning Aura, Blessed Aim Aura, and Might Aura from possible pool. When these roll they are now replaced with Fanatiscm, Vigor, Thorns, Concentration. Holy Freeze can still roll on a bound demon.

Say bye bye to your Fortitude/Doom/Insight Eth & Spirit/Phoenix Monarch metas, gg cursed demons, smite like ES, you'll need AR now.

Still gonna be OP

Per YT's MacroBioBoi latest video, it's gonna output around 1/10th dmg vs current patch so let's see in the PTR I guess !

That being said, it was already overkill so It might be still OP

Seems there removing conviction aura also on bound demons? Does this mean Fire locks cooked and we have to get our own infinity? :cry:

Its not normal to have a char that can clear p8 hell on the first day. Point is for game to be fun. If such char existed everyone would quit within a year out of boredrom.

Mosaic atleast needed 2x gul and 2x mal. This mofo needs nothing.

Ive always wanted a wirt's leg imbue melee league, but im straying from topic.

The stylish 2hand cta's for warlocks is dead business now. But with us having the rune storage we have now, fort and insight can still be viable with just a walk to the stash. Granted the eth versions are obv doomed by the term "fixed."

OMG wirt's leg imbue melee league would be da bomb, how come it's not already a thing !?

I mean one could still use eth insight CVs and have like 5+ in stash and throw them away as they go lol

I guess Zod'd Eth Ariocs & E-BOTD are gonna be BIS. :bonk:
