wont this mess up warlocks because if everyone with this gets an hp increase it will reduce the effectiveness of absolute damage attacks such as vampire kiss, dusk armor, and trap. Those will still do the same damage but everyone else will have more hp. If i understand this correctly? I dont think the absolute damage attacks will benefit at all from the damage increase on the devil spirit.
just a concern of mine, please confirm if this is correct?

Who cares? Joymax makes more money, you should be happy about them and not question their moves. They are gods of this game and you are their slaves.

Erm, no. =)
Maybe it will have an effect on non-INT Warlock builds but INT-based Warlocks would have no trouble killing even with a less drastic effect in damage than we have now. This is because, like it's been said many times before, the Warlock is not a damage-dealing class. Even before this update Warlock skills seem as some of the weakest yet they manage to hold their own in combat.
In short, it's irrelevant how much HP your opponent has when they're not able to heal themselves. You could also imagine the possibility of a Warlock with MORE HP and MORE damage wearing this item and see that it's (for the most part) pretty balanced. So now the question is- How do you kill an Int Warlock with ~20K HP?

Yeah, like I said, it might be troublesome for non-int Warlocks because Warlock absolute damage won't be enough (and never has been enough. But this is where Panic Status comes into play). As opposed to an Int warlock which has more options if they have a Cleric sub-class for more absolute damage options or the slightly weaker Bard absolute damage skills.
But in general, any opponent with obscene amounts of defense will prove to be a challenge for any build. XD

One with it will be harder, one without will be easier. One with DS (Devil's Spirit) will be harder than one without. It will just take longer.

i dont see why everything thinks this will mess up ints :S
sure it is 25% more hp... it also has 30% more damage... meaning you get a higher increase to damage than you do hp, so if a wizard can 1 hit without 25% hp, then with 30% more damage, it will still 1 hit someone with 25% more hp
same with warlocks or any other class...

It's in effect as soon as you equip the item and is until you unequip it again. Anyways, I'm not too worried at all. As mentioned before, warlocks don't need the absolute damage to kill, or extreme damage in the first place. Try pvping some people with just bleed/panic and see how it screws them over. Another 7k hp is going to make little difference. [On their part anyways. I'm looking forward to having 25% more hp, and spamming my lovely vigors over them.]

I wonder will hp mp increase be always on ? Even you are on job or on FW? If so it sounds like its gonna be almost impossible to trade or defend gates since reverse immolated guys already having lots of hp and absorp where they can take trans pets down before they are killed. So can i assume an 38k hp guy will have 64k hp when reverse immolated and %70 dmg absorption? I doubt that dmg increase, whis is not unlimited ofc, can compansate that.
