If you switched to purge with echo strike it should be fine. But the physical version is not going to be great

put on a bk and ya you gonna have to pot in some situation, this is why I rather play fire warlock in this patch even they slower at boss killing.

Here's some footage of what a bis summoned tainted / blood boil warlock looks like
only t1 herald because I had to reshoot it just to get heralds to summon in a short enough tomb clip anyway, but I think it gets across the idea of the damage potential
Its a noticeable huge difference in immunes vs non-immunes though, since you're mostly dealing blood boil damage to them and tainted only chipping in a little bit, since against immunes I'm often putting them at 0-50% dr vs boil, 23% fr vs boil, 78% fr vs tainted
and significant drop in hp/life recouped via hex:siphon compared to previous version, because summon tainted are probably getting half or more of the kills and not triggering any LAEK/MAEK. Have to use blue potions quite a bit



Do ES warlocks with whatever build, be it phys or hex purge, still stack up compared to this?
