Puppet has potential in edemo or CN, but is considerably less reliable damage source than in T2s because it gets hit a lot harder and dies more often.
Part of the puppets buggy behavior has to do with its stacking damage buffs that it gains whenever the warlock performs an action that would have summoned a puppet if one was not already alive. IMO that is the biggest factor in the puppet damage spikes and if the puppet is dying more often in CN and edemo then it's output will be less reliable, but still potentially just as high.

Indy can post Viral one shotting edemo If you like. : p
You all are forgetting to lump TT in with the broken mechanics, which works exactly as MF does. They take a portion of the original attack's buffed damage to use as their base damage, and then power/buffs are applied to the TT/MF/HE which causes their damage to go out of control. TT/MF/HE only deal ridiculous damage in uber-buff parties and imo it is buffs that need to be nerfed, not SW.
Just to throw it out there, I had a pre flight elol a couple weeks ago and realized afterwards that I had the wrong powers equipped. This was, however, just before the Lostmauth set nerf, but shows that Killing Flames/Murderous Flames is not the heart of the problem, just a contributor. Group comp was DC, GF, CW, HR, and SW.

Well KF/MF is the biggest problem, along with the puppet. The way those things are broken when buffed/debuffed is top insane. But in your example, of course it was just a contribution becasue you had other DPS. But if you have a GF that knows their class, and assuming you know the broken SW class...then just you two could pre-flight him.
I got him down to 1/4 health the other day when it was just me and a GF. And that was only because I forgot to switch to my correct powers lol. So with the proper powers, I have no doubt we woulda got the pre-flight as well.

Eh when you watch Viral one shot Demi in Edemo you can't blame the buffs, simply because you don't see other classes one-shotting him with a power. :T So why not make it so the son of the power not be effected by buffs(Since it's not the parent) and just affect the parent...

> No its not wtf. Its only godly in T2's like indy said.
No, Indy said CN and Edemo. The Soul Puppet destroys in every "higher level dungeon" (I.E. T2's and beyond) as firepats mentioned.

You obviously don't play a SW. My puppet gets one hit by Orcus or any boss in CN.
I am neither here nor there, for I am NevrCene
