Yeah PvM is boring as hell. I get more than I want of it leveling a PvP character, can't fathom doing it just for fun.
PvP has always been end game for like 95% of players. If they don't nerf Warlock players will return to expansion for balanced duels. Players who already converted will have to sell their gear on RotW and rebuild on Expansion.
A couple weeks ago you couldn't find a single baal, chaos, cow, TZ or duel game on Expansion SCNL.
But were finally starting to see an increase in the frequency of baal runs, cow games, regular pub duels, etc... its still down from where it was before RotW, but feel like there is a good chance it will bounce back in a couple months once people are bored of ladder and sick of playing overpowered warlocks. Maybe not to where it was prior to RotW, but to a level that is acceptable.
He’ll get nerfed next season. I know the devs don’t pay mind to PvP at all. No PvP means a portion of players will drop off and it’ll affect the economy by rendering previously gg items worthless. That said, they just missed the cast / attack hybrid they were going for. The skill is supposed to require AR instead of auto hit, as echoing strike increased your AR per level. Eth weapons not losing durability wasn’t intended. I just hope those aren’t the only changes as the damage is still way too high.
I guarantee it will be retuned come next season. Question is how much because it’s definitely 3x better than any other build
