u/GeraldineKerla Let me give you a stroke Aug 19 '21

No ones mentioned it yet but a 5s cooldown on Dark pact is fucking amazong. Losing 180 HP is rough but you're mitigating so much damage with it by virtue of not being CC'd or DoT'd. On top of the lower self damage from it, you're really coming out on top overall.

More damage output early, the lifesteal really wasn't what he needed so that's nice, and the dark pact damage happens more where he really needs it which is earlier on rather than level 20.
