OP Duo Warlock Strat

[yoi]

The r/DarkAndDarker section hates me and instantly deletes my posts, so I'm forced to post it here.

So, I'm relatively new to Dark and Darker and I main solo Warlock and I haven't tried that strategy in practice yet so it's only a theory, but it seems strong as hell.

This idea came to my mind when I thought about friendly fire in duos, which definitely sucks, but perhaps could be used to your advantage. As you know, Warlocks can heal off their targets with DoT abilities, like Power of Sacrifice. Do you know what I mean now?

Power of Sacrifice is a spell that deals 3 dmg/s to the target and grants the same target +15 Strength and Vigor. Meanwhile Warlock's perk Torture Mastery allows him to heal 2 hp/s for every instance of damage dealth with among others that certain spell. There's also the perk Vampirism which increases the selfheals by 20%, and if I'm correct Torture Mastery also scales with +Magical Healing stat.

That means, if I'm correct, you can use Power of Sacrifice on your duo to grant him +15 Strength and Vigor and deal to him 3 dmg/s while healing yourself for the minimum of 2.4 hp/s without any +Magical Healing points. If that duo is Warlock too, they can use the same spell on you too, granting you and himself the same effect. The conclusion then is, duo Warlock means PERMANENT +15 Strength and Vigor for FREE (almost, if not having any +Magical Healing points) or also a small selfheal if you do have additional points in that stat.

Would be nice if someone could test my theory and confirm that it really works like I just said. If it does, that means that Warlocks might probably see a nerf to it in near future, because it seems insanely OP; or perhaps the spells heal you off your duos or won't be applied to them in general.

I know this used to work in the past when warlock was first released.
I can recall a video of 2 warlock mining in the swarm while healing off each other.
I dont remember the exact change but they did something to prevent this, no healing off teammates? reduced magic healing to make it impracticle?
Who knows maybe it works this patch.

You shouldn't bother with Reddit, it's lost a drastic amount of users due entirely to bizarrely power hungry mods, you will find them in ANY sub reddit, and I do mean any. Honestly man cut Reddit out and you'll feel a whole lot better about life.

I literally just started using Reddit. Haven't ever used it before in my life, and I'm 21. I believe in my country (Poland) it's not that popular at all. So I guess it's not a problem for me at all.
