first of all 300-400dmg on shield breaks in 1 sec so no it doesn’t protect u I mean even now 1 starsurge that hits for 300dmg breaks shield which shields for 240 ,shield at 40 won’t last for than 1-2 globals.
Now About wrath u should check ur eyes because the new rune eclipse not only gives u critical chance but also baseline protects u for 70% of pushbacks.
Hope so we get wrist also but they haven’t confirmed they release head and wrist slots.just because are datamined doesn’t mean anything.
What we know for sure is boots and belts slots are coming anything else is speculations. If warlocks don’t get wrist slot they are doomed cause ua is super important especially vs priest who 40ncan dispell 2 magics in 1 global so good luck doing dmg in pvp
Priest will be good in 1n1. But not S tier imo.
They will be good in group fights, but not outstandingly good.
BGs hard to tell, i think okay but not required.
I think its hard to tell for me im not that into locks in detail.
Theyre great in 1n1, but worse in group fights than priests.
In really big group fights it maybe switches again.
survival hunter with traplauncher, flanking strike and DW runes.
