I'm at L78, playing Warlock "Pure Summoner"
----
I mainly only use buffs/debuffs ( Sigil Lethargy, Death Mark and Engorge), while my Act 2 Merc and Minions ( Summon Goatman, Summon Defiler and Bind Demon) do all the killing.
----
I like the playstyle, and I have no serious offensive or defensive issues
(I haven't died yet and only get closer to die once - mostly because of slow down... - and can clear areas and kill bosses satisfactorily
That said, I've already maxed:
- Bind Demon
- Demonic Mastery
- Death Mark
- Sigil Lethargy
And I'm thinking about the next skill to max.
I want to maintain my current playstyle/build, so I don't want to invest in a direct attack spell ( Blood Boil, Echoing Strike, Apocalypse, etc...), not to mention they wouldn't be very effective without the points in their synergies...
I don't think it's worth spending points on:
- Engorge
Current L22 (35 ias) is already the max ias possible
So I think my options are:
- Summon Defiler
Shared damage is 54% (L23) and it increases up to 58% (L38) which represents a 7.4% increase in all my AoE damage
- Summon Goatman
When maxed I will have a 35.5% increase in damage
-- Current damage (L23)
-- Maxed damage (L42)Damage: 2585–3008
Attack Rate: 28 frames (0.89 hits per second)
Damage per Second: 2491
- Blood OathDamage: 3537–4045
Attack Rate: 28 frames (0.89 hits per second)
Damage per Second: 3376
Since people are saying that the tooltip is wrong and only hard points affect the redirect % bonus, I can go from 5% redirect to 43% redirect
- Another skill
(At some point I thought about Hex Bane/ Hex Purge/ Hex Siphon. but they don't help my Minions damage
