A level 12 running around with a 180 HP Canian Erinyes, wich also even can be buffed to topping over 30 AC, i think is a bit rediculous. I seen one clean a 5 man party frost salamander GC spawn out all by itself without even coming close to being hurt. while the whole party lay dead on the floor.
Where a normal level 12 character will be desperate too get enough Jink together too pay for a piece of equipment.... or safe up for a level 15 henchman, that doesnt even come close too a Demonologist pet.
A demonologist could just go out unequipped, and make piles of corpses staying back and let the summon handle it, and laugh on the way too the bank.
Level 15~ demonologist unlock the new pet.
Nessian Erinyes.
This time 30 ac, and able too buff it up more.
Whopping 225 Hitpoint.
Crit dmg :blink: , and an AB and dmg output that just cuts thru most stuff like butter. No problem cutting thru Silver / Cold iron DR's.
Overall, you put a normally leveled PC of level 15 - any class against one of these... they will get demolished by the Nessian Erinyes. Ive seen it happen, when they bugged out and gone wild...
So in my experience, not only the Pet is way too powerfull to be equal too a PC of that level. But also the fact that the pet master him/herself can also spam spells and be a functioning spellslinger. aka supporting you pet with spamming buffs on it, and spam Isaac's.
But too be fair, i am not sure how Demonologists scale at higher levels. 20+
TL:DR
On low level 0-~18
Demonologist can level without having too spend a penny.
Demonologist gets a free pet, that is more powerfull then other henchman affordable/available at that level.
Demonologist itself is a functioning damage output source. ie isaac's.
Demonologist inherit base class allows them too protect their henchman from harm. ie Mind-Affecting buffs.
Other classes will most likely have to resort to re-visiting lower areas over and over too grind loot, too get a full set of equipment too allow them too hunt at their level range. Wich is in my own example.
Having too spend 3000 Jink for a half-decent henchman, wich has 2 uses. Is simply not worth it, with crashes or server downs, transition bugs.
Ofcourse, some classes are stronger then other classes at a given level. But i do feel that demonologist is just way too much up there.
