Temptation Question

Does Dark Revelry affect yourself as well as allies? It reads that it grants the buff to nearby allies, and I've been speccing toward it assuming that meant myself as well. Thank you for your help.

Yes it does. If you want to surely trigger it combine it with Warlocks Bargain. This counts as life steal as well.

It doesn't affect your companion thou. -> would be great, with bonding stones.

Actually I think it affects companion (and nearly sure of it).
But there is other important info - this is only personal buff, so 5xSW with Dark Revelry or SW+DC+OP or Bondings doesn't loop it. It's just flat power buff not counted into 2nd buffing.

sure about companions not being buffed and rebuffing? I am pretty sure he does
my companion gets the buff above his head all time, and I am rebuffed from companion by that for about +500 power wearing only one bonding rank 11
22,7k vs 22,2k spike-power without dark revelry buff above companions head, me standing on the other side of the dummy and not beside him buffing him

having 3 bondings active (rank 50%+65%+80%) , I get 26,7 vs 28k (dark relvelry) power
-->1,3k power from 3 stacks and max. triplebuff
3x rank 12 (3x95%) will give you a nice power boost from dark revelry on top...> 2k power in my case only from rebuff by dark revelry I guess (depending on your power)
the companion buffs you for 3x95% + 3x20% from his power (drk revelry buff), 3x95% of that ammount is added to your power as rebuff rom dark revelry at 3 stacks

I did some tests few months ago. Procced dark revelry, but didn't see any stat increase in companion sheet. Might be invisible one, if it really buffs companion idk.

no , sure you can´t see the stat rising in companion sheet...
but you see the buff ahead the companion very clearly and, as I wrote, you see your power rising significantly in case the companion gets dark revelry-buff or not
go to dummy, stay near companion and stay away 30 feet or more, you will see the difference I am sure

the conclusion may be: I stack as much crit as I can on my characters amor/gear and buff the power from companion as high as I can incase crit is no problem, i guess only BIS warlocks do get enough crit to do so

Not sure about that looping, something really weird happened yesterday, normally my power only scales up to 32k with 5 stacks of bonding (the max my companion can stack), but with a anointed DC + a Justice OP it scaled to a insane 71k, never seen such thing before.

It is

GF + DC = perfect, t2 included, i heal more than devotion OP atm, sure it's not advisable for low IL, but if the gold is make a templock, yes, it's possible.

The main problem is DC's are not used to work with templocks so they have no idea what powers to use, so if any DC reads this post: DC what i want from you when im in a party with you and a GF:
//encounters: Break the spirit, Astral shield, divine glow//

If you're Divine oracle
// class features divine Fortune and foresight //
//At wills Astral seal, sacred flame(i never use it but anyway, is there)//
//Daily Hallowed ground or Divine Armour (as situation demands)//

If you're Anointed champion

// class features divine Fortune and Anointed holy simbol //
//At wills Blessing of battle, Astral seal//
//Anointed army or Divine Armour (as situation demands)//

Play style, charge divinity, apply 3 stacks of divinity divine glow, empowered break the spirit, normal astral shield and normal divine glow, make sure astral shield covers GF.

templock works nice and is a good supporter, in edemo he saves 100´s of butts, especially in phase 2

BtS only has a 20 feet aoe as far as I remember, not sure if it´s allways and everywhere the best choice, you have to stand side by side with your teammates to have any benefit
Devine Glow is nice, empowered version is strong and covers a huge area you can chose where to put it heal+protection+damagebuff
DO takes DG+prophecy+BtS for max buff/debuff, right?

Correct, if you mean single target, if multi prophecy of doom.... well you know. And BTS has a big range, i always position myself and generally even archers get the buff so it seems to be more than 20 fields. DG empowered is nice but i dont use it unless team really needs protection for a reason: I dont want to make game even more favourable to gwf, many times DG empowered will not cover back players, everybody deserves the same buffs.
