With the new Pit Lord talent and how cool that is, the current SB > HoG > SB > HoG Nether Portal rotation should be totally changed.
Nether portal should be made to summon a demon for every soul shard spent. So we can maximize our demon’s on rotation. If you are worried about DeCon being too powerful this way, lower the health of the summoned demons or something, or make DeCon ignore the portal demons and only take from the Pit Lord (these are just on the fly ideas, feel free to disagree).
Tyrant should also extend the Pit Lord’s timer. We’ve waited how long for a Pit Lord at this point? Let us have it a little longer lmao.
I, for one, am sick of DeCon controlling the balance philosophy for demo. I don’t dislike DeCon or anything, but I really want these other newer talents to shine.

But also the nether portal should still be changed.
I mean…its changed to some degree now.
Not enough imo and it needs to be overhauled BUT i am not in alpha, havent played with it. Maybe being decouplee, adding the time, adding the pit lord all makes it worthwhile.
Maybe. I doubt it but im not dumb enough to make blanket statements without intel.
What i will say is that itll almost certainly still FEEL bad to play even if it is the mathematically best choice.
So if anyone here is mucking around in beta and can give actual feedback on how it feels now with being able to take DeCon, how the pit lord feels gameplay, how the extended duration impacts it and so on, i think wed all be in a better spot to discuss.
Nether portal needs its cd reduced to 2 mins & give us a 15 second pit lord. That’ll make it at least better.

Considering how often I use Soul Shards on my Demon Summoning Witch, I think the current iteration as well as increasing its duration of NP to 25 seconds for every time you spend Soul Shards would be fine.
Because making NP summon a demon for each Soul Shard, even with or without Decon, I get the sense that this might break the spec a bit. Even though it’s a 2.5 minute cooldown.
I’m not necessarily saying that NP don’t need any changes, heck summoning a PIT LORD based on for every Soul Shard you spend is one way to buff this ability as well as changing talents in a more distributed form.
If NP needs to be any further tuning, this would be it. Longer Pit Lord sounds awesome as well. Kind of odd that Tyrant doesn’t increase the duration of the Pit Lord but considering a Pit Lord is not really a “Lesser Demon”, it makes sense that it doesn’t.

Completely agree. I also really don’t like the alternating SB HoG spam.
