anyone tested it? also whats the cap on life now ?

Found heph curse holy fr , its quite decent in proc , no stoneskin thou

as far as we can tell, the base HP for monsters is now ""capped"" at about 12-20k HP before playercount and before blood oath is applied. And blood oath % life wasn't applied in 3.1 and is now in 3.2
result is that bound demons can have about 10-20x the hp they had in 3.1 and are functionally immortal

ex a enom lord in TZ96 has 15638-18617 hp, doubled for uniques. No longer much reason to find a unique, since that will cap at somewhere in the 12-20k range anyway. But then its multiplied by 4.5 for binding in a P8 game, then blood oath can be as much as +1500-1800% hp, then battle orders can be another multiplicative 1.77x
So as a result that even a basic 1 hard point bind demon (+19 from items) on a trash mob in TZ96 cursed can get you a holy freeze + cursed venom lord with 2.5 million+ hp now, no need for stone skin, but won't get the useful multiple shots / lightning enchanted affixes because its trash mobs only with 1 point now

The notable unlisted difference is that they goofed the scaling on bind demon +damage and more than doubled how much damage demons get
You go from ~1600 base damage on a maxed out summoner to ~3500, so a demon can hit for 40-50k damage now

So some cursed lancer will run and one tap

Hi, do you know how reliable is a cursed TZ bound demon to proc curse via holy freeze in the latest patch? Wasn't there an issue previously whereby cursed TZ doesn't work well compared to "normally" cursed uniques?

So they actually do more damage and have more life now? Why were people saying the demons died in 2-3 hits on p8 on the PTR?

He quite consistent , lot of times on first tick but its playstation so maybe thats the difference

A venom lord with holy freeze + cursed is pretty reliable at proccing amp damage across most mobs, though even with inferno it gets a little less reliable at low monster counts and single targets.
There's no issue with cursed TZ, really its just that people didn't realize you have to bind non-champion, non-minion, non-unique mobs to get the cursed affix from a TZ. It has to be trash mobs



On the PTR patch, monster HP was capped somewhere around 5000ish and blood oath still didn't work. In current patch with ~20k base hp and blood oath applied, monster HP gets up to 2.5 million or so, I really don't know the actual number only that demons are now effectively immortal and even moreso than in 3.1

Ah...so it's down to whether for blood boil and physical builds, the extra 14 points to get lightning enchanted or multishot unqiue affix is worthwhile Vs 1 point cursed TZ mob.
