Funny!

I actually logged on to the PTR to check but couldn't determine if anything had changed.

Your chaos bolt now does +100% damage but you arent able to cast it.

Your Incinerate now does 3% more damage but has a longer cast, *Incinerate is replaced for fel fart*.

Grants you a shield that prevents all damage for 2 sec, 10 min cd, meanwhile, you are unable to cast or move, also, you take 300% more damage after.

Reroll finally, don't torture yourself by playing this class. Dozens of ppl were giving constructive feedback in thousands of posts since legion alpha. No good changes, only getting worse and no communication.
Reroll

Wait a moment?!

So that's how they rework our class??
Add 15% dmg there or 5% dmg there?

First of all add survability and baseline spells.

15/20% more for Demon skin.
Shadowfury instant cast.
DC - Baseline

So hard?

We can't do dmg while we die in a stunlock.

Clueless !@#$.

Not sure but it feels MUCH weaker now... It's like hitting them with my staff would do more dmg... Sad, really.

No, dont reroll. stop playing the game till they change stuff. Why would they care about warlock if they still will get money anyway?

Your class was immortal throughout all the Legion. I didnt see ANY posts asking for balance back then:)
Rest one expansion, you will get ""fixed"" in the next one :"P

There were plenty of posts by us warlocks saying that drain MG was a bit overtuned due to artifact scaling drain healing with damage... so more mastery and haste we got it became very hard to kill a lock... in random uncoordinated situations... was never the case in arenas... it was just like it is now... interrupted trained dead.

I personally wrote several times they should remove or rework that trait that scaled healing % of damage... but they kept it because if they removed it would be this what it is now.

Destro was good at one point in legion for pvp, they butchered it and completely destroyed it in a matter of weeks.

Demo was ok, but still had same issues as it does now, stupid pet AI and easy to control and kill.

There were hardly any locks in arena championships back then, and there are none now.

My lock is so slow!! But i still love him

Warlocks have been in a bad place since WoD and that's no joke, it was the first xpac when they decided to over prune us and put our important utilities on the talent chart. I went from being able to duel anyone and have a good engaging fight to having to exploit my class design just to live longer so I could cast something. Disgusting.

What I want to know though is at which point in legion were all warlocks immortal and OMEGAOP? All I remember was affliction drain tanking successfully against players for a week. Some classes couldn't outplay it due to casting circle being actually good combined with essence drain.

To be fair I do remember when Focused Chaos was introduced... 200%? That was beyond hilarious :p It did not last long though. Other than that, just ignore the obvious trolls.

Yea I know but destro wasn't immortal lol just had a scary burst that threw everyone who were used to mongo tunneling us into a mad panicked frenzy.

But yea you're probably right about just ignoring them. I always fall for it.

The night is calling, I have to go
