1) Warlock Class Balancing: Developers have made targeted adjustments to Warlock builds based on PTR data. The change to fix durability loss on Echoing Strike has been reverted, maintaining the original weapon mechanics.

dev note: After discussions, we decided to revert the fix as the impact supported the intended fantasy of the skill while still fitting generally within the original vision.

does this mean that durability is now lost using this skill??

2) Fixed an issue where damage bonuses were combining multiplicatively instead of additively.

What is best guess is to how much this will be nerfed for the typical player?



I see some QOL improvements but this looks like it's a buff to NPC's and not characters in much of any way...

1 - not using durability was a bug, they fixed it, then unfixed it. You can continue to use eth weapons without durability loss

2 - I think people were getting 12-25k with higher tier builds, 30-40 if you’re a sheet dps slut. a few users posted videos that I didn’t watch nor pay attention to that would probably answer this question better

overall it plays like a shittier hdin that does more damage

Thanks proint

ty for answering, i find locks to be quicker clearers with comparable mf though, is what you are saying is that they will likely play pretty close to equiv with the same quality of gear?

no it’s significantly worse than launch but not awful, people are just mad they can’t evaporate p8 mobs and bosses instantaneously
