Have the corruption perk demon lord summon demons that don’t attack you if accidentally hit. Have them benefit from the damage increase of the first corrupted authority perk then can we not have them walk off not doing anything as they ponder their life choices?

I created a thread about this months ago, suggesting removing the demons’ aggro on the player in case of an accidental hit. Nothing has changed. Right now, Demon Lord is a voluntary debuff. No benefit and just harm.

There are no friendly demons. Demons turn on the summoners in the world that Robert E. Howard created and everything a sorcerer does has a price that leads the sorcerer to eventually being consumed by the forces of the Outer Dark.

That’s fine and dandy but it’s still a wasted level 20 corrupted perk that is objectively worse than well trained or war party…hell it’s worse that the level 5 perk.

It’s not about lore at all. Provided the damage setting on allies is enabled (like on any official pvp server), then any accidental hit on a demon, it becomes aggressive to the player and their thralls.
So, summoned demons, by default, are quite friendly and attack the player’s enemies (where’s your lore here, huh?).
In the end, in the realities of the game and the peculiarities of local combat, the Demon Lord is actually a debuff. But, yeah, I remember playing once in solo mode without damage to allies (this perk is great then).
That’s an opinion, not an absolute. It’s useful for me all of the time. I have many videos that show it.
The summoned demons eventually go feral and turn against you and your thralls or pets (there’s the lore). The usefulness of the perk depends on the player. I have been using it for more than 6,000 hours of gameplay as a sorcerer and I have a lot of videos that show the utility. When the demons turn on me, I kill them and keep moving because I’m not a weak player. I see more posts on this forum about nerfing than I do about skill development or improvement. I’ve always played without the no damage handicap.
Well, then show those videos.
