I only tested whether you could still manage to bind a conviction if it spawned naturally. AFAIK holy freeze is still in the pool so it should stick. Holy fire? Rerolls into something new.

Conviction rerolls on bind to Fanaticism.


Even 5% amp with holy freeze should go off a lot right? It triggers on every teleport I think

Most packs get Amped in 2-3 ticks, just watched Sies take 6 ticks on his whole group to trigger. It works but really doesn't feel particularly good.

Warlock neeeded a SLIGHT nerf,not a total hammer!
They should have kept the use of eth weapons not using durability,also keep the conviction demon,because its conviction is lower than the one on infinity.
Everyone was crying that they should nerf the Warlock , ok they did and did they touch the Mosaic sin at all? No they havent,and Mosaic is the strongest build in the game,clear speed was also faster than the one on the pre nerf ES Warlock.
Honestly i think they should not have touched the warlock.

I believe Mosaic had more to do with the Microsoft / Activision merger than malicious Devs.

Mosaic released patch 2.3 February 16 2023
Microsoft Merger with Activision completed October 13 2023.

"Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023 has led to over 2,500 layoffs, studio closures like Tango Gameworks, and a 50% Xbox Game Pass price hike."

"Since the merger’s closure, Microsoft has cut thousands of jobs across its gaming divisions, including 1,900 positions in January 2024 primarily from Activision Blizzard and Xbox teams. More recently, additional reductions have affected Bethesda Softworks and other units, contributing to a total of over 2,500 gaming-related layoffs in the past year alone."

Mosiac was busted. I believe most people agree, and clearly the current devs do as well. Let's see what the re-work looks like.

Is there room for discussion about balancing Hammers Java Nova Smite? Absolutely yes.

Was Warlock trivializing all aspects of the game? IMO yes.

Regardless, they should've fucking play tested this themselves. Like good old ERICH SCHAEFER, THE ABSOLUTE LEGEND. instead they fucked us all as free play testers and RUINED our perception of OP GG BUILDs.

can't say i care much for the warlock im paladin through and through but with that being said id rather they just left the warlock alone, it doesnt bother me if the lock is OP ppl payed for it so let them have their cake and eat it, quickly nerfing warlocks but hdin on diablo 4 is completely unspoken about..... makes sense anyway i hope the community can still create a crazy good warlock for the ones that enjoy it :)
