I'm looking for an answer.
Soul puppet hit more de 3 million per hit, and no matter if warlock is weak or strong.
We already saw others class bug like this one,
Rouge (mod 5 shadow of demise and plague fire) Paladin (bubble reflect up to 2 million dmg).
A lot of players says arc/cryptic /perfect world do this intentionally, is a good way to make money, build another char from zero is expensive/ take time.
my friend said he did 5.000,000 per hit at temple of spider.
but i just want to know, is this a bug? or soul puppet is the most overpowered thing in game.

Soul puppet only hits that hard with many, many buffs on an endgame SW build. Since the recent XBOX patch, I have not seen anywhere close to 3 million hit, let alone a 5 million hit. 1.2-2.5 million is on the reasonable side. Whether a summoned pet should do this much damage is debatable, but that is the purpose of the damnation paragon tree at the moment.

For reference, there are videos of groups destroying Lostmauth in 15-25 seconds and before he flies away. This is primarily accomplished from massive buffs by experienced players with endgame builds.

A warlock alone will never see their puppet doing this damage. In general it is in fact under 20k even when well geared. In a long get dungeon with the correct party buffs and proper tanks either bubble pally or strong gf/DC combo the puppet survives much longer without going down and wiping out its own stacks. It stacks damage buffs when the warlock does something that would have summoned a new puppet if one had not already been present. This makes the damage sky rocket and is then compounded by additional party buff combinations. With a GF, DC, and a CW in the party the puppet becomes a monster, add an OP or an additional of any of the other classes and you will see the huge puppet hits later into the dungeon. I believe I have a video of just under a 6mil hit from last week, but mind you it only happens with just the right combination in a party. Never in PVP and solo the puppet is just a distraction. If the puppet was that strong all the time then you wouldn't see all the threads of warlocks begging for class fixes. Personally, if other fixes were implemented to the class then I wouldn't mind seeing the puppets output limited so I wouldn't feel like it's companion.
