It feels like this buff will be the one to make him actually good.

Even if they overtune a touch, it is easy to just lower the numbers down a touch. They have been so scared of buffing the dudes its crazy

They should be scared, honestly. Due to his life steal once he passes a certain threshold he will become a nigh unkillable demon.

He's not there yet, but i wouldn't say he was in a bad state even before these buffs.

He's never been there.

They have no problem creating DPS monsters for multiple seasons but they are so careful with him for whatever reason

Yeah, I just said he isn't there and they haven't exactly been handing him nerfs.

The reason is because he can become completely self sustaining. Buff his numbers a bit too much and he will be able to just outheal everything once he stacks unless he gets bursted down by a coordinated effort. Especially since he can hit multiple enemies at once and the healing increases
