I’ve tested Death Seal, yeah it removes all of your ward on activation, but then you regenerate it really quickly (at least my character, which has 4500 ward), getting up to ~1.5k-2k ward was almost instant. Still, is seems to be too risky to use.
EDIT:
Nope, Death Seal is absolutely no-go there. It removes all ward AND KEEPS IT AT 0 FOR WHOLE DURATION, leaving you at ~50 life.
Have you tried reaper form? I think in theory it isn’t great as well since your health drain is so strong. The ward shouldn’t keep you in reaper form, correct?
Right. Reaper needs the leech. Assumed that was the interaction.
Will be interesting to see what we will get to play with once the Warlock Mastery comes in. This build doesn’t require lich at all. Lots of good stuff in that passive tree, but all skills are basic skills so we can easily make this a warlock build. Will just depend if we can get enough leech to make it worth taking hollow lich passive.
