Killing warlocks in pub games feels like the most GM thing you could do for the community. Thank you!

If only my fury druid, zeal/charge pally, or hustle asn didn't get completely shit on by warlocks I would do the same.

Zero percent joking. If we all did this in protest of a pay to win class maybe they might make some.logical balance changes instead of power creep slop.


Even if every single person decided to automatically hostile warlock's upon them entering the game, they would (in 2-3 years time) find a way to prevent that or punish the people who are "bullying" the poor, poor innocent warlocks. :lol:

ActiVision Blizzard Entertainment is NOT the same company you grew up with, remember that.

Public tz game is all fair game to anyone. But so is killing any of them to defend what you want.

Context is joining a public tz shard game in sc.

Scenerio 1

I pop a shard. Random instantly goes to the high end spot(s) of that act to farm. I notice, flag and kill them. I take their ear, juvs, gold and demon. No body camp

Scenerio 2

I flag everyone in the lobby. I pop a shard. I farm my shard and kill anyone trying to farm on top of me. I take their ear and demon, but leave their juvs and gold. No body camp

For more context this is on Xbox, so there's no way to communicate intent in-game

Personally I think scenerio 1 is fair. 2 is kinda sus, but I'm enjoying the sudden fights I've been getting. I'm not trying to come off as a pvp god. I know very little, but I play a really geared fire druid and they seem to be pretty damn good at killing warlocks.


Its all fair. Same for body camping. Its a game. Do what you like.

Ya for sure, if only we could buy the game back it could be a really great game. I was hoping they would go through opposite way with balance such as nerfing mosaic and bringing back wsg.

They will never bring wsg back, because they consider it a bug and don't realize that they made dueling much worse without it. They don't balance the game around dueling and don't even realize how important dueling is to the community of this game and how dueling basically kept d2 alive during the years after all the PvMers quit.

Ya for sure, it's the end game and was reasonably well balanced before RotW. Of course there were rules for builds such as auradin and spells such as lifetap but it was reasonable.

The -resist on charms, -physical resist, and sling ring having 15% slow on a fcr ring to me are even worse than warlock because at least everyone knows warlock is overtuned.

Could just be an incompetent random that didn't know the etiquette. Hopefully they learned their lesson

Even if you killed every warlock in existence blizzard would see this as popularity and success

Try a different approach (saying this as someone who never even played warlock)
