Yeah I've been spamming river. Finally got one.

Can also confirm, rolled Fanaticism on new game. 15 hard 19 soft.


Yeah so essentially you can’t have conviction at all, unless you’re planning on hunting a new one every single game you enter and plan on handicapping yourself with certain gear to keep hard at 15 but soft under 20

It’s a wrap

Maybe we can whine at them to keep it with 20 hard points. Ha

Then they have currently eliminated any need to stat to even level 15.

Lvl 96 cursed tz, any normal monster you like and as long as it’s over level 20 with soft points you can roll fanat… 🤦‍♂️

So basically a one point wonder again..

I’m kinda fine with the changes as I didn’t really like the warlock to begin with and I already 99’d one, but these changes are a lot! If they just did proper testing to begin with this all could’ve been avoided. We will see what sticks with the patch, I guess

Somethings broken then, because before I put the theory out I tested 19 soft and 22 soft on fallen, 19 no aura 22 vigor


The demon you bind must have conviction initially before you bind it. 20+ soft points will cause the automatic aura rolling when you bind it.

But as Swirl and crosspaws found, even if you get a conviction demon, it rerolls next game anyways.

Fair, I'm not particularly upset with losing Conviction aside from the fact I do my absolute best to stay away from Might morons and it was nice running a Frenzy merc with Conviction demon for BB. It isn't a big deal to slap on an Infinity and continue on your way for the average person.


I will die on the hill of the Blood Boil radius kills the skill. It still works but it feels awful to use.

Don't even know if I would call it a wonder at this point. I only tested auras at p1 but some one else said at p8 Heph was getting bopped after the health changes.

seems like it, but now demon has been gutted... like i said in a previous post p8 heph was losing good chunk of h/p just from few grotesques, some rando champ is gonna be tore apart


What skill level did you have for this? 33 from full gear? I'd be curious how one point across the board with + skills compares to full investment with max Oath at p8.
