Observer nerfed

Eye of the Observer from Call Observer can now only trigger a Laserbeam once per second per enemy.

Was pretty obvious they were going to put a small cd on the laser beam, Honestly not sure how much this helps. I guess it prevents single abilities from multi proccing the laser beam but most specs weren’t using spells faster than their gcd to begin with.

Why did warlocks even get a super buffed observer in the first place?

When I read the notes it said for demo only not for the other 2 specs.

Was the talent originally demo only before they gave it to all lock specs?

Well because, they’ve been struggling massively in pvp all expansion, particularly Demo and Destro.

Uh, wait a second…

very nerfed

or is this on next reset? it gets buffed with demo 4pc too lol, and it lasts 35s with tyrant opop

Hows it get buffed when it only does up to 10%

yup, it was. This spell has been around forever and was useless outside of noob traps where you would get caster cleaves to cast into it if they didnt know what its about.

I think it needed buffs to be useful as it was a meme, but im not sure why they gave it to other lock specs (its always been demo for years and they jsut gave it to everyone without rationale, not that it matters)

I mean, CC it, range it, kill it. Its time for you to git gud.

If people you are playing into dont kill kt or range/line it. You do a lot of damage. But people i play against already kill it quick or run from it.

It is just another tyrant/psyfiend at this point. I dont play it much unless its a caster heavy lobby since any melee makes me want soul rip or impish.

TBH I didn’t think it was that bad. I just didn’t think it should Lazerbeam you if you’re actively killing it.

yea i just had a warlock obliterate my team with just one summon. its VERY broken and should have alternate mechanics to make it stop shooting

Don’t get me wrong this guy IS NOT advocating for warlocks. But I also don’t think it would be nearly as bad if it just didn’t do damage when it was the thing being attacked. Similar to how Counter strike totem isn’t complained about on here 24/7

Which specs can cast harmful spells faster than 1 per second?

Is this like an off-GCD thing?

Some single cast spells like fury of elune were multi procing it.

Yeah I noticed that too, I assume it’s just an oversite in the notes tho. It would make zero sense to nerf it only for demo.

I think it’s a fine nerf. It will still be strong, you won’t be able to just chill under it and ignore it or anything it will still be dangerous. But it won’t cheese one shot an ele who get’s a deeply rooted elements proc, or boomy with fury of elune, etc.

I see your laser and raise you two lasers.

:slight_smile:

It would however be another success for the nerf demo campaign.

Maybe your team should stop killing themselves and blaming the lock.

I cyclone that thing when I see it. It looks funny floating up there in a mini tornado.
