I feel personally attacked


I guess some people are assuming that if you bind a demon that has conviction it will replace conviction with one of the other auras, but that’s not what it says. It says it’s removed from the Aura pool

It doesn’t explicitly state that you can no longer bind a demon with conviction aura

If they are removing conviction from bind demon entirely, they’ve worded it very poorly

It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower but the flower that forsakes the tree, someday I’ll learn to love these scars still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

Yeah the correct way to interpret "When these roll they are now replaced with..." is that you can still bind with a demon that has it.
But we know blizz... their patch notes and reality is 2 different things.
So at this point, we can only guess.

The downside is that you need 15 hard points in bind demon to be able to do so.
And you also get forced to invest much more points into demonic mastery.
And on top of that, blood oath becomes also more important to max, cuz we already know it's the best defensive skill in the game, but since they also want to nerf the demon's hp, he may need the bonus life% from blood oath to survive.
But this is just speculations too, cuz we don't know how hard they will nerf its life.

In the end, to obtain the same power we currently get from 19 points in the demon tree (1 in each, 20 in blood oath), we will need 62 hard points, which is not feasible cuz all builds need ~63 skill points to max their offensive core skills.

The total skill points needed is not only a nerf for end game builds. It will severely affect the early game.
You'll need to invest all you skill points from lvl 30 to 44 into bind demon to obtain the same thing you normally had at lvl 30.
That's 15 levels later, while all those levels do not improve your core dmg.

everyone copes differently, I am just happy there won't be any conviction demons in chaos sanctuary for me to randomly die as my res no longer exists, conviction is OP and it's good they removed it from PVM, hope they remove it from Uber Mephisto too.
