I’ve played Warlock almost exclusively all season, thought I’d give my two cents.
Good
Awesome visuals. All the spell effects look amazing.
Nailed the class fantasy. This is the kind of Warlock I wanted for Diablo.
Soul Shards are a fun mechanic and allow for a lot of variety.
Bad
Bugs. I like Terror Swarm but it has a lot of issues when using the aura variant. It will randomly end constantly when plenty of resources are available.
On the weaker side. Even using the apocalypse build I felt pretty squishy on pit 100. I don’t have the time to get bis in every slot, but my glyphs are 100 and I’m close to 250 paragon and T10 is too easy. Getting perfect uniques is too much of a chore for me.
Metamorphosis could use a rework. Switching in and out of Demonform isn’t fun. If I wanted to switch in and out, I can do that with the Archfiend skills.
Flesh of Abaddon, Fulcrum of Memphis need reworks. Shadow of Harash needs buffs to compete with Chains of Horazon.
Dominance regen needs buffing, alternate ways to get it.
Some skills could use reworks or buffs. Infernal Breath, Abaddon are two I’d like to use but are a bit underwhelming currently.
No way to offset the “costs life’“ variants. Fortify and Valloch help, but it’s why apocalypse still feels squishy.
Love the class but it deserved better than to be like B/C tier all season on its release.
