Doesn't work in the way you think it does, but it's even more broken. Permanently stuns people, the chains anyways. It's considered extremely BM and expect everyone to gang up on you in a public game and expect nobody to want to duel you in private gm games.

As for abyss itself I know people also hate dueling against it because of the DOT that's impossible to avoid, so you likely will get the same effect.

People really only consider fire warlock to be balanced at all and nobody wants to duel against anything else unless you like dueling against only warlock's.

the dagger warp removes the current casted chains

I am not a PvP player, but if you gear a character specifically to withstand magic Attacks, for example Horazon Boots. Bane Armor, Safety Shield or Gerkes, Double Dwarf Star and whatnot, could that build be enough to stop the bm - or is it just too powerful?

Any mobile ranged character should be easily able to beat an abyss warlock. don't chase them running into their chains (as against blizzard sorcs). abyss can only be cast on screen and has a low radius, therefore stay offscreen as much as possible and keep moving. kill them from a distance.

Yes but the worst part of abyss or chains isn't even the ability itself, it's the dot that's left behind. You can just spam chains to lock someone down and they can't move, then even if you can't manage to get them name locked if they accidentally get near that dot then they're done, the damage is ridiculous.

Imagine someone spamming mindblast in LoD, but you can't wsg out of it, and it does more damage than light sentry and mindblast combined.

That idk, not on to test right now but I'm pretty sure even if the chains went away it wouldn't matter because of the dot left behind, the miasma crap.

Also yes what the other guy said really your only shot is to play defensively l8z as possible with zero aggression to have any shot of winning, but good luck if the lock is extremely aggressive as well. Only chance you're winning is if the lock sucks and you're decent.
