Witch Demon Form - Didn't know it disables your weapon/shield

The disabling of your weapon and shield makes the demon form not so interesting to me. The +4 levels sounds great but you come out with less +levels because your weapon and shield no longer count.

Also without a regen shield it because MUCH harder to counter the life degen of the demon. I suppose maybe they don't want 100% demon uptime? You could do it I think, but your whole tree would be dedicated to specing for that.

I'm struggling to see how you get any benefit from demon form that you wouldn't already get from having a good weapon/shield.

Am I missing anything obvious that makes it better? :)

It's completely unplayable with minions. Losing your sceptre and thus the vast majority of your spirit is just stupid.

Shapeshifts should not disable weapons. It's ridiculous that they do.

demon form shoul have +100 spirit at least

As far as I know its a known bug, and should be fixed at some point (At least thats what I kept hearing on the forums and reddit).

I am eagerly awaiting the fix, as I am doing a demon form build right now. For now its fine to just use the demon form with demonflame capped at 10, but it'll fall off really quick due to not having a weapon.

However, you do also get the dodge of the demon form, which is actually pretty amazing since its faster and travels a longer distance. The dodge of the demona lone makes it worth for me tbh.
