So if we were running the solo build with BoC and blood pact, there would be no us for a spellbook correct? if not what secondary would you recommend from the falcion heater combo?
@@kazaren oh duh of course, and whyat stat did you stack to get your bolt of darkness to come out so fast? with the demon armor its unbearably slow to start
Magic heal scaled at 25% before. Its 15% now. I dont know the math for it either all I know is I tried it and its bad. Not even worth it unless youre above 14-15 magic healing.
Technically infinite, but you are taking % dmg per second i believe. So theoretically you could life steal/ get cleric heals/ (even rest at a campfire?) and still be in demon form.
No joke you used to be able to run 10 mh and be gone now you need almost 15 and more to even be about the same level as 10-11 used to be it’s almost a 40% decrease to high end kits
and now barb has an OP roar that makes pretty much any class do no damage, as well as a weapon thats faster, more dmg, less spd debuff than falchion, and if that wasn't enough they can use SHIELDS.@@Collers12
u killed us like 2 hours ago my man we were the barb cleric ranger by the static , we spent about 1/2 hour gearing up just reaching pathfinder only to run into u and ur mega buffs, it was ruins at the top static by the gold spawn , ggs i suppose we were gutted only the jewlery got stripped :(
@@kazaren na its all gravy baby, tbh after playing bonk warlock , staying south for the first half of the game is probably just the best counter to meta barb n warlock atm , it gives us a story anyways , see u in the dungeon for some revenge hopefully...........trying out the dmon form but its defo needs some skill and techers behind it
Lol demon form is actually so much better than phantomize it's insane. The. Amount of times I have phantomized away from a barb just to get hit with a Francisca and die is stupid. When I go demon form I just kite them until they eventually start to run and then they die. Shit I can melee a barbarian with e up even in cloth gear
Probably just a first hand impression / Uneducated opinion. I thought it was bad as well but I wasn't willing to give up and just leave it at that. Not everyday we get new cool abilities to play with. I spent a decent amount of time in the swamp with this build figuring out what works and what doesn't. I think its the best frontline class right now hands down. Warlock really isnt something people associate with front lining. But holy shit does this build do it well and above, If you combo this with a good cleric you're pretty much unkillable.

Can you talk more about the playstyle the bard should adopt in this comp?
What are the most important songs/spells that he should be casting?

@@kazaren thanks for the reply and your insight : )
Looking forward to seeing your next upload, have a nice day
With your experience does enchantments such as + Add/True Magical Damage scale with Demon Dark bolt?
@@hubianhubhub6397 yes

10/10 music choice for this one
When they announced demon mode I was just waiting for this opportunity
intro god ! ily
The demon plate lock drip goes crazy fr
I’m gonna need a solo showcase to become a believer :l
God I hate playing solos. But I need to cover it so I might as well.
Kaz two weeks ago - "demon form is ass"
Kaz today - "demon form bis" :D
Love the boss music casually playing in the background.
I spent awhile cooking, Its hella tasty now. I feel like a raid boss in this loadout.
"You will witness true horror."
God Elden ring music slaps
What stats should i prioritise? And what gear do you run?
you make demon form look amzing, it's not the patch, its you

It doesn't ignore ms penalty lol if you don't have a bard you will be running at 270ms
@@Tipz011 bard helps alot. but no shot you have regular full plate ms in demon form.
at 7:00 hes keeping up with a lightfoots gold ranger while attacking and he as no bard buffs on.

all this to hit with your hand and cause 15 damage lmao@@mikahoolwerff3563
Just a question trying to relearn this game but why do you have a spellbook if you don’t have spells
So if we were running the solo build with BoC and blood pact, there would be no us for a spellbook correct? if not what secondary would you recommend from the falcion heater combo?
Chad longsword easily

@@epsy8871 I get 10 knowledge when I transform, That usually makes it manageable enough
whats ur magic resistance for this build to eat all those magic missiles at 1:57.
70%
how did you get it that high? @@kazaren
@@jinfeng2806 had random magic res on my gear, I get 25% from anti magic perk, dark plate gives a F ton of magic res.
Praise the darkness \o/ .
what did the nerf actually do? i a lil too dumb to understand

before u need 9 magical heal now u need 13 for bis u need 19
@@kazaren 😭😭😭
Hey Kaz, you think the bolt of darkness hp increase was a significant nerf? still worth to try this out?
It's 1 hp increase. I say it's negligible. Won't notice it at all.
A needed fix. Warlocks have been dominating for too long. And we will get limited time and cooldown for Demon Form
Technically infinite, but you are taking % dmg per second i believe. So theoretically you could life steal/ get cleric heals/ (even rest at a campfire?) and still be in demon form.

Good, high end warlocks were OP broken
this build is insane
U tried it yet?
I love how they nerfed warlock curse casters into the ground while keeping barbarian basically the same.
They’re both op
Barb lost 10 vigor and like 16 move speed and ability duration, just get better

Barb got hard nerfed. Did you even read the patch notes?
Unfortunately so my friend, this game and its creators are dog shit
So does demon form negate all armor movement penalties?
Nah
1 nerf and every warlock that had mag healing kits built up lost 20+ keys

He doesn't have one. Can try to convince him to make one.

The point was that it nerfed the versatility, not make the class shitty you foo
If you gonna talk shit at least listen to what the guy said 😂
Onepeg is trash at the game lol he just has a bigger following then everyone else.
but why you need demon armor if u just trowing bolts?
Do Aatrox next time as demon mode 😂
Not a bad idea
