there is a difference tho, it's super easy to deal with farcast zons and stacking auradins, simply stack/sorb them

comparing to a abyss warlock there's really no way to counter one

the most similar would be a mosaic sin w a baal party. The issue is warlock doesn't need a Baal party to be op. One thing you can do is to fight them with your own abyss warlock then the game turns into a warlock fest as usual


Exactly, the point I made earlier. If a character is too OP, it just becomes a Warlock fest, just like it was a Bowazon fest back in 1.09 until they finally got around to balancing the classes in 1.10.
Few people complain when 1.10 came out because it opened up all the classes to be playable.
Blizzard did the opposite with this new content.

It already is a ghost town, feels like playing classic.

I guess the choice is stay in expansion, enjoy balanced character classes, but struggle to find anyone to play with.

Convery to RotW, get constantly dominated in PvP by Warlock, but at least you can find duel games, baal games, an active trade forum, etc...

Good info. Ive been trying to find some dueling videos on youtube to see what its like but with no luck.

Im thinking I might buy the expansion, rush a Warlock, and throw some cheap-o gear on him to 1) learn about them 2) see how OP they are in duels




Here’s some pvp damage on mine with very meh items, like a crap coa um um, low death, low phoenix

It was on day 2 or so after release so it’s not properly optimized either

The damage is just not ok


Think I’m even using 48 fcr here lol

it's only challenging now because most warlocks are ungeared with plain gcs and no gear swaps

once they get some lifers and gear swaps it'll be impossible to beat one with any of the LOD chars

What is your damage with no demon bound, or using like a random fallen as cannon fodder which is realistic for duels where you wont have the ideal demon at all times?

EDIT: That video was painful to watch. Echoing strike on a well-built Warlocl will absolutely 1 shot 95% of characters, probably everything but a barb with prebuffed BO.

Have you tried is vs telezons? (Thats what I play) curious if their mobility, range, and passive skills make them challenging or if they go down just as easy.

I’m not sure I think it was like 45k or something. But 100% deadly strike so i guess 90k

Hell of a lot more than an ele druid which does like 6.6k damage and is S tier
