Diablo 2 warlock finds immortality by using a pet demon as shield

A little over a week into Diablo 2's first expansion in 25 years, players have already found ways to break the new warlock class. By most accounts warlocks are the strongest class for how easy it is to put together a devastating build, but YouTuber Coooley wanted something better than big damage numbers: immortality.

They figured it out, and found it's more straightforward than it seems. Blizzard pitched the class as a summoner who studied the dark art of controlling demons, and the Bind Demon skill that lets you adopt an enemy as a pet is the lynchpin for the immortal setup.

Warlocks have a skill called Blood Oath that redirects a percentage of the damage you take to your pet demon. It starts at a low percentage, but you can wear enough gear with bonus skill points to raise it up to 99%; Coooley recommends getting Blood Oath up to 89%.
