I do, I’m already burnt out on this character and would rather play literally anything else. What about you guys?

Sometimes being too Op gets boring fast huh

It's probably the most fun char in terms of being able to flex any build w/o relying on sunders (Nice job blizz with LoD>RotW conversion)

It's really dumb that you're basically locked into hdin/sorc/lock again because of how rare sunders are in rotw. (Assuming you play SSF or organically)

yup you've got 4 flavors of "kill everything in an aoe" and they wind up being;
>damage bit too low to OHKO and annoying cast delay but it vacuums everything
>damage delay and cast timers but huge aoe, but still takes extra seconds on bosses
>instant overkill damage and instakill bosses but mediocre aoe size/shape in a cone
>instant high damage and big unaimed aoe but lacking vs bosses / needs to town trip vs p8 baal

its like 4 variants on "this is a hammerdin BUT"

I’m having fun with it.

very true

even consume is OP

when you consume low level defiler i get -10% fire res on top of my free conviction demon and -40% fire res from apocalypse as well as +15% fire skill damage and life boost, i'm literally clearing hell with a spirit sword, pcrow, vmagi, and rares from normal day 1 of reset still.

don't get me wrong, im glad blizz is bringing new life to diablo but im starting to think about "if it aint broke, don't fix it" old d2 was almost perfect imo, if they just polished that up it would've been better imo

tryin not to sound like a boomer but this change wasn't needed

but thats just me



it was fun and exciting because it was new a shiny, after playing it the last week my enjoyment has worn off, but glad to see others are having fun with it

Its a common enough game design failure, they made their new shiny product by stapling as many statistical/mechanical effects as possible into it and overlapping as many passive buffs as they could
If you play a sorceress your passive effects are;
>warmth, a cold armor, thunderstorm, blaze, enchant
most minor, some don't help you at all depending on build, in fact most builds won't need to bother with any of the 5
then its just teleport + damage skill that benefits from mastery and that's it

On a warlock you're getting:
>holy freeze or conviction aura
>amp damage free casted on everything
>2nd mercenary in +damage and tanking
>50% damage splashed to 4 extra targets
>+195% ed / +6% crushing blow
>+39% max life
>+43% efrw
>whatever % redirected damage just blocked by blood oath
>+25 mana/life after each kill
>-33% damage dealt by enemies hit
>255 damage shield that stuns melee attackers
>whatever the fuck eldritch blast is actually doing
>% ed / % ar / % crit
>-% weapon reqs
>aoe buff for giving enemies -35%dr / -47% defense / -50% slow
and that's not even counting deathmark + engorge being temporary buffs you can apply to your minion and reduce enemy defense even further

Warlock needs balancing but is ok, Im running a fire build, still rocking crappy starter gear (spirit sword, stealth etc). I got lucky and was able to replace my lore helm with a shako today. Hopefully they balance and buff the other classes as well. Buff Summon Necro and make the summons carry through games.

Playing Warlock ladder blood boil build! Clears pretty good when I got a demon that amp or conviction 😙

sold my echo warlock yesterday

the numbers are big, but the gameplay is too routine and monotonous. Another downside is that it makes other classes look too weak in comparison

only one thing was funny - to search "right" Hephasto
