There are 3 pure DPS classes: Lock Mage and Rogue

Agreed 100%. And also mage being overtuned and ele being an “anti-caster” caster. Lock just gets pushed out by the other meta specs. Same with boomy and, to a leaser extent, SP.

I think demonology actually has the most hard casting required. If you’re having trouble killing them then you’re probably letting them cast too much or not disrupting their ramps.

Not sure how. When I play mine I’ve literally just sit mid and might have to port but never did really

I don’t know why some keep mentioning demo tankiness. All lock spec unique defensive mechanics were standarized in DF. All lock specs gain the same health from healthstones, the same shield values from soul leech, the same mitigation through soul link.

Even soul leech which people love to believe has more value as demo due to pets isn’t since it’s hardcapped on both shield per second and max shield value. The only thing that alters survivability are the hero talents with their options but that’s not exclusive to demo either.

People still believe soul link has stronger values like it did prior to that but that hasn’t been the case for two expansions. But like they say, it’s very hard to change people’s beliefs.

Leftover perception from DF.

In DF, as Aff/Destro, it was common to sac pet. So we didn’t have Soul Link.

Fast-forward to TWW, Aff/Destro plays with a pet (since the PVP buff to Demonic Resilience). Sometimes, we sac for double interrupts.

Right now, you are absolutely right. All locks have the same defensive toolkit.

Only difference would be demo having access to Axe Toss against setup comps to screw them over.

Sorry, there are 4 and Surv is the spec I like the most.

I don’t believe anything - I can tell you I can blow destro and aff up in the opener and force all types of CDs. Demo sits there absorbs millions of damage and still is at 80% up

It’s all in your head, my dude. All Warlocks are working with the exact same defensive toolkit.

Just dont ever comment again. Youre full of sht and you have no clue what youre talking about. Youre an 1600 player carried to undeserved ratings by bgb.

I’m talking about warlocks, not mages. Do you even know the name of one of my locks?

I dont care about them, your comment was more than enough to get a glimps of what kind of player you are :joy::joy:
