Maybe they don’t like pets. 
Pets are so boring 
.
I’m sorry but didn’t really felt like playing pet build right now …
But the poll was not at all about what would be strongest for HC as you can see 
I made some progress yesterday so will post it later on today.
Lol. That made me chuckle. Yup - the Aetherwarped Totems you find on the way down to the Warden (on Veteran) can certainly send your ass scrambling if you aren’t prepared for them (and often even if you are).

So next few steps on the road to disappointment… uhh sorry I meant Ultimate Korvaak 
After I was almost destroyed by Totem in Warden cellar I had to change a tactic a bit (Use all components you can) then I went for Salazar and his company with hope of getting nice scepter but that didn’t happened… The fight was quite easy - all it took was to kill Harbinger quickly and later avoid SoC.
Then I went for my revenge back to the Warden Cellar and this time it was much easier as it spawned Flesh Hulks.
Then the end of act I - this fight was rather easy.
I took a risk and tried Rekt and Boris. It took some time to separate them apart but after that the fight was easy.
Then Cronley was not a problem at all…
Then revelation ! I have some dynamite so I can go to the East Marsh and farm for Mistborn Talisman relic and I was very lucky to get the blueprint on first try. I was so happy but second later I realised that I need the mace as well… and that took another three tries.
The Balegor was the hardest single enemy so far but that is not an surprise as he was 7 lvls above me and I had zero or just minimal stun resistance.
A bit later I farmed for Solael pants… I have got the first one after 8 or 9 runs ? but it is quite nice
Voldrak is how far I have got this session (it was actually two sessions)
And just the 2 SS of the stats
In the skills regard I just got the Nightblade to the point where I can use Shadow Strike and now I am working toward Possession. Build is still a very fun one !

I’m sorry guys for long break from posting but RL got me… but I still had some time in the meantime to make progress!
I will try to make it short and quick as for now have killed the Warden on elite and I am still very alive
This is just nice finding especially for the build I was playing… but I have not used it - I had enough of ADCH
The Mad Queen have been dismantled straight on my way.
Loggy was easy too.
Water Loggy bit harder - had one close call but just one quick retreat was enough
Tbh all of the AoM was really easy - I think build just started to come together at that time or even earlier.
Dps seems to be skyrocketing as some bosses (I mean like act bosses) even did not have the time to perform some of the attacks - like Theodin - every of his form just died in like 4 - 5 sec.
These were my stats at in the early FG
Riggs was quite generous ! for levelling next builds not this one.
Kymon and Korvaak both fell quickly and safely for me.
I decided to not farm to much on Vet as I felt pretty strong. I did 12 runs to farm Thalonis sword but
there was not much XP and I dropped 5 Bloodlord`s blades - which is lucky but none of them had any chaos prefix (unlucky). Best one was vampiric of the void - quite nice for HC.
And stats for the beginning of elite:
first act of elite was really effortless - I did every possible side location with bosses and every totem I found and there was no risk at all. Everything just dies in front of me in mere seconds.
I guess that is the best way to get too confident and just die to some stupid shit 
Warder died! - no effort
SUMMARY
I remember that I have read few times to not level Witch Hunter as chaos melee. I cannot disagree more!
Build felt strong from lvl 10 and from lvl 40 is even stronger. After you have Malmouth armour and Bloodlords blades then everything just melts. In devo I went “almost” full offensive - went for Solemn Watcher so it is not full offence !
I know I was quite lucky with medal as It gives a lot of damage but before I got it build felt really strong too. Maybe AoE lacks a bit but single target damage is insane. The gameplay is very satisfying too but this is more subjective thing.
Just as I wrote it… Maybe execution is OP - especially if you have access to large flat sources like SW and Possession. Maybe the 30% damage nerf is deserved. Anyway I have not switched to 9.2 test for now and will probably wait till official release.
I would forgot about GT link: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/62ab4RxV
Cheers
Any comment welcome!

Just an quick update
First time in my GD career I hit lvl 100 on HC and thats after 1500 hours of playtime hah but 90% of it was SC.
That took me 60 hours on this char with lots of farming but it has been pure pleasure.
I will just add screens of stats and GT link if anybody is interested.
Thanks!
