I wona know after patch amp damage at Hep is atm 75 so patch will reduce to 5% but Frost aura Hep trigers Amp damage atm almost insta on frozen(blue) enemys who knows how its gona work after patch 5% isnt much but mobs are geting fozen aura from hep all time maybe its not gona be bad get Frost aura HEP cursed then
Aura ticks use the same proc chance and each pulse counts as "1 hit", regardless of the number of targets affected.
So
Holy Freeze
won't still give you reliable insta-amp. It'll be down to 5% chance per aura tick.
If that 5% chance hits, it will then amp every target hit by the aura on that tick.

That was easy enough to see on the PTR.

I did not. Though I would hope they're not dumb enough to let that slip by.

(Hope and blizz of course being a dangerous combination ^^)
Sometimes, I just hate being right.
But yeah, as expected, hope and blizz don't mix...

Just tested it cuz..why not? Easy enough to do.

Turns out if you have a warlock with a measly 1 pt in
Bind Demon
and bind Hephasto and then use that same warlock on the PTR, you keep said Hephasto, despite too few points to be allowed to have him. Still replaces the aura (started with conv again just for testing purposes) but the demon is not auto-killed.

So yeah, if they don't fix that before the patch hits, anyone farming up their Hephasto or whatever demon of choice before the patch will then get to keep it (minus the aura being replaced with the new one where applicable) until it gets lost for other reasons.
Thanks for testing this out. Did
Conviction
automatically reroll to
Fanaticism
?

Oh my, that seems like a serious oversight. Hope they catch it, or else it could become a contentious follow-up patch. "You can't have this. But actually you can. But we didn't mean that so we're taking it away for reals this time..."

You have enough clout to get Blizz attention, no? You're green. I'd imagine you could get a blue response! And while you're there, do you mind asking them why I'm not allowed to have any act 5 keys?

Yeah, auras automatically get replaced by the new equivalent when you log in with that character. So you can keep Hephasto (or whichever demon) but you won't keep
Conviction
.

I got them to at least apparently/supposedly fix the f'in
Abyss
range thing. Anything beyond that is out of my hands. :P

(And yeah, I'm totally taking credit for that, seeing how I was solely responsible for apparently 1/3rd of PTR bug reporting and the only one going through that one... ~~)

My apologies if this has already been discussed but here are the latest patch notes updates and might explain why the skill point requirement is still pre-PTR...

I suppose back to the original topic of this thread, if anyone should be farming their favorite demon before the patch. There may be even more impetus to do so if you are not planning on having many hard points in
Bind Demon
(not my case--I'm max at 44 or so with +skills).
