Before I decide If I care to come back and lvl my SW, I figured it would be best to catch the opinions and thoughts of those in here who care to share.

In case you forgot, I am Just a Bit Deranged, and as such, I love HellFury spec.

But where do we stand as of late?

    You'll do less damage than before, and die a lot :P

    i met few HB fury dealing good damage in PVE, but i did not look at their setup if they were using broken stuff, HB and PVP is a no go imo

    all in all i would never consider to play HB in mod 6, you do so bad in survivability and going solo must be real punishment
    SB fury or damnation is the favority specc i think, but if someone wants to correct me feel free
    Damnation puppet is some kind of buggy and pulls out crazy numbers in PVE going some dungeons as i read, but can´t say if its a good choice for endboss in case the puppet goes down too quick or stays outside the door?

    how much Lifesteal are people able to get at 70 now?

    I feel liek if I can keep crit % and lifesteal % up, then it wont be hard to get back to where I was pre mod 6.

    Lifesteal is now 1% for 400 rating with no diminishing returns IIRC. The LS heroic feat got bumped. In addition, Creeping Death got the nerfhammer and only procs 60% of necrotic damage as DoT.

    The problem is that LS is now in essence burst heal, so you need high LS% and frequent hits to make it proc reliably. I feel that to have a viable build, you have to almost exclusively stack LS now.

    no no, i know all that, i tested mod 6 for some time until they murdered my Pally with Black Hole items, and then played for a little bit when it went live but basically stopped.

    So what sort of LS % are people able to push? what % with what set etc.


    I will be attempting to test end game capabilities using my old approach which was HP, LS, Crit and Power. if I can balance these out and MinMax well enough, then my plan is to see how close to my old PvE Immortality.

    Im not terribly worries about PvP, im sure if I decide to care for Strongholds, that I will likely revive my TR or CW.

    High Life steal. I know I can get up to 30% LS with my lock and over. I'm stacking all my def chants for life steal

    Very important part of the game now is to have the 'Loyal Companion' gear and a good augment. You're getting a ton of stat from them now so for PVE its a must do.

    In pvp dump ArP, tenacity gives 80% resistance to ArP. Stack crit + vorpal for higher damage and more life steal. The rest of it you're aware of it already lust.

    Some great suggestions here, which looks at the game from an objective point of view. Sent off to the devs!

    You should look at the thread - it's been said that devs are aware the Warlock isn't performing as well as other classes. So we assume something's coming for us in the future (mod 7...?)

    There is now companion-only gear that can drop from T6 Sword Coast Adventures dungeons. Purple quality, massive stats, some boost to companion threat or companion outgoing healing.

    *T6 Sword Coast Adventures dungeons, that is. The gear is BoE so you can shop for it instead of grinding SCA yourself.

    They didn't put actual T6 dungeons in Neverwinter (even if it feels that way).

    Wow, you're quick :) I feel it took me about 15 seconds to catch/fix that.

    one ring f.e. has >600 power >600 crit and >400 arp, on top one offence one defence slot, if you hav 3 of them and use 6xr10th and take perfect bonding runsestone its about +10000 stats that you get if wearing an augment
    better if you put this in a compagnion, in case you can afford perfect runestones, you get 65% from these stats...but this buff stacks at least 2 times and in some rare cases up to 5 times as some player confirmed, so its 130->300% from 10.000 stat points....simply broken

    thanks for the heads up, i will not use anything that's broken and giving double stats though.
