The little eye does like 20 dps.
Curious to see what will happen with these upcoming nerfs. Mostly interested to see how dark pact is impacted by stamina buffs.
Good incremental changes blizzard.
Wish they did this like 3 weeks ago but ya know.

I’m not complaining one way or the other, but it is funny to see these highly-focused incremental changes for Warlock as compared to what Enhancement got.

Aff will still have the best stam scaling in the game and we are set to receive a 40% stam buff when DF hits. These are less so nerfs and more so a pre-emptive curbing of what would be an absolutely ridiculous state of survivability. Now it will only be slightly absurd.
For example my lock on beta (with these nerfs applied) has 405k health and dark pact absorbs 320k. An ele sham in the same gear has 344k health.

i think those are unscaled values. This pally and lock dueling in combat are 371k for pally and 478k lock. So even scarier!!

I have warmode enabled. I’ll see if it changes with pvp combat.
edit: oh my my my, my health jumped to 511k in PvP combat with a 480k dark pact…
yea it scales in pvp combat. not open world. wm does nothing really to scaling anymore.

Forgot about that. Absolutely insane. Affliction can negate entire goes with nothing but a good port+soulburn (every 30 sec btw). Then to think of everything they have on top of that it’s just…idk will be interesting to see how they are handled.
Don’t forget if they wanna be degenerates they can run essence drain and pre wall every go u do on them and then afford to drop big wall for short wall and play even more offensive!. And after testing again u let a lock free cast he can hit 4 soul rots a min!.
That nerf isn’t going to do sh. They are the single highest performing DPS right now in beta and still heal for their whole health bar.

That’s what’s killing me about the lock whiners right now. They’re getting the best stam scaling class in the game with a ton of real defensives while also having major kiting potential and the ability to heal really well while also getting an absorb on top if it. You shouldn’t ever be dying as a lock with all of those get out of jail free cards.
They need to make Dark pact a 5min CD.

with the nerfs that just went live today I lost 6k health. No biggie
I’m actually wondering with how huge dark pact shield is and the amount of HP warlocks have, I wonder if blizzard wants to bring back warlock tanks for PvE. It’s entirely possible Blizzards intent is to make Warlocks a strictly tank class now.
