90% Warlocks, very little demand for any items outside of Warlock items.

I find myself not really incentivized to build anything else because lock is so overpowered I know that I'll have to spend 10x what I spent on my lock to get similar results and clearing speeds.

What are your thoughts? Ya'll getting bored yet of seeing/playing nothing but lock?

For context, I'm using a non-eth +4/mid roll ariocs, full horazon set, max block, max res, barely hitting the 48% fcr BP, using a merc that isn't meta at all, and I'm clearing P8 TZ without any issues. Any other toon I would be incredibly punished for trying that, lol.

probably would have happened this season even if lock wasnt so OP. But will happen again if he isnt nerfed

Yeah agreed.

I'm not sure which knucklehead thought it was a good idea giving the lock 2h damage in a 1h slot, but here we are.

That 100% needs to go, lol.

Its called rise of the warlock so obviously blizz wants you to play it since youre buying the game to try it.

Removing Mosaic in this ladder has a reason.

p sure I know exactly which knucklehead gave lock all his BS, and you can go watch a youtube video where he gaslights the shit out of you for being unhappy about it

Yeah for sure, but they didn't need to make it so broken and kill the mosaic build to do it - people would have still bought the expansion because everyone loves new content, QOL and a new toon regardless.

A bit over-pushed, because look where we are now :(

which actually supports the idea that bots arent ruining the economy as much as previously thought, unless there isnt any truth to the argument that botters needed to use legacy graphics/now run fewer instances

Not to mention locks get to use FCR as their attack speed, no need to worry about immunes due to magic/phys damage, has a built in mini teleport, doesn't need an insight at all since it can just throw on some ll/ml gear and he is fine, etc.
