at least HF still exists and can reliably cast amp if the monster group is sufficiently large. Too bad that without the amp, echo does less dmg than bowazon multishot


It can still proc amp but at a 5% chance or whatever, so 1 out of every 20 aura pulses on average

I don’t see anyone using ES with these nerfs, when you combine it requiring AR, eth weapons losing durability, no more easy amp, damage changes, etc it’s better to just use fire or abyss warlock imo

its 1/20 per monster it does dmg to, so if there are >20 monsters, it can be all the time

Density helps with curse application rate.
ES is obscenely expensive to itemize (in the endgame) now imo, and has no real starter benefits which is the real killer here. Fire is put back in line with the classic elemental builds, but it still has a lot more going for it at various points in the game.

Didn’t think about that, I guess that makes it more tolerable for sure

The conviction rerolling on new game got me thinking, they were smart to do that so all demons from previous season get rerolled when new season begins.

They baked it into the base skill check, there's no avoiding having an aura from the new pool now.

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.



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.


Just an interesting post with relevant information I thought might be worth sharing.

Granted you can hit 45+ with proper gear, doesn't look good.

So warlock is now on same level as rest of the D2R classes!

All is now Balanced! Gotta really build it n skilled it n gear it!

No more Easy Cake walks! It’s wat D2R is All About! B)
