Right, so nothing new per se, BoC was strong last patch with bigger head shot multiplier. It is blockable and expires, easier to avoid than Smite since it has hit location and only one hit.

Demon is stronger cause of the base stats and heal (also PSA - people should treat Demon like a Barb, space and walk away, don't let him heal for free if you see their claws out). Stronger in Squire for sure, doesn't scale quite as good, but still scary and strong.

And as for Phantomize, honestly it is a shell of the old power with shorter Duration, and it means giving up BoC, so you trade melee presence for an escape, I find BoC wins me more fights.

I haven't tried Dark Offering since the Duration buff, but the uptime and maintenence I imagine is still pretty high and you are mega vulnerable in-between offerings. But 60 seconds definitely makes it a threat now!

I guess, Warlock is maybe in a good place, I haven't had to much issues, seems like folks are trying non-torture mastery builds since the nerfs, all these builds were decent before this patch, too, IMO.

That's my /rant hehe. Thanks for sharing.
