Warlock - alternatives for the future nerfed Cursed Bind Demon and Sigil Lethargy

Hi

Currently i'm playing a pure Summoner Warlock and using
Cursed

Bind Demon with

Fanaticism
Act 2 Merc with Might and Pride/

Concentration

With the Cursed and

Sigil Lethargy nerfs in the next patch
https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article ... oming-soon

-

Bind Demon
Reduced the Cursed modifier’s chance to cast

Amplify Damage from 75% to 5%.

- Sigil: Lethargy
Removed the Damage Taken stat.

I would probably need another source of curse....

Some options I think of

O1 - Cursed

Bind Demon with

Holy Freeze (a little more triggers, but not much more, as the aura pulse has only 1 chance to trigger independently of how much monster are affected...) | I lose

Fanaticism

O2 - Act 2 Merc with Might and

The Reaper's Toll | 33% Chance To Cast Level 1

Decrepify On Striking | I lose

Concentration

O3 - Act 5 Merc

Stun with

Dreadfang | 33% Chance to cast level 3

Amplify Damage on striking | I lose Might and

Concentration

O4 - Act 5 Merc

Frenzy with double Lawbringer | 20% Chance To Cast Level 15

Decrepify On Striking I lose Might and

Concentration

I'm think in trying O2 or O1 + O2

Cursed Multiple Shots

Fanaticism

Megademon with

Inferno striking 8 times per second (24 with multiple shots). No damage dealing, all

Amplify Damage application. You're welcome.

For Eldritch builds seems like a good option
But, in my case my

Bind Demon is my main source of damage...., so I need a melee focused one...
Maybe change my

Vile Mother for a

Corrupt Rogue Spearwoman with

Jab for the extra hits

You are not pure summoner. You are 1/3 binder now.

Pure summoner spends 60 points (

Goatman, mastery,

Blood Oath )
You have enough points to put in Hex:Bane and Mirror Blades to kill immune Mobs.
Or add points into boil +

Engorge and blow up your Goatmans when they are in close combat.
Access to lvl 30

Enchant (40+ with other gear) make a your goats killing machines .
Take that

Dreadfang in your own hands (+ Horazon set) and curse Mobs around you with

Cleave or

Mirrored Blades .
Very viable build. Use

Sigil Death instead of Lethargy.

But boiling I like most.

My Pure Summoner point distribution is

Bind Demon 20

Demonic Mastery 20

Death Mark 20

Sigil Lethargy 20

Blood Oath with the rest (L89 now)

With the nerfs, I'm thinking in respec to

Blood Boil build, if my

Bind Demon is not able to do his job anymore...

Do

Enchant from Horazon's Splendor makes a huge difference for

Summon Goatman?
(i'm not even using them right now... I started with 1

Summon Goatman and 1

Summon Defiler, but its being faster to farm with 2

Summon Defiler and I change to 2

Summon Goatman only vs bosses)
