wonder if port not interacting with soulburn if the short cd talent is selected would be a realistic change
off topic, but mw running the fw build shouldnt have access to a melee interrupt too
yes
Unlikely. Might see duration/potency nerf to the freedom or speed in pvp, though. Or just the entrenched in flame treatment of outright deleting the honor talent.
Hey woah!!
They should just remove soulburn port. Very toxic mechanic. I think even the noob warlocks wouldn’t mind because they don’t know how to use it anyways.

Having a movement speed increase when porting and having a shorter CD is toxic???
You know what else is toxic? gating, and getting insta gripped back or charged by a DK/warr. DH fel rushing ontop of me. warr leaping over to my port. WW setting their port ontop of mine. etc.
It isn’t like porting with soulburn is free either. You use a 6 sec CD on soulburn, cant SB drain life or healthstone. Then you lose a soul shard which is damage.
Some people are so mad over the smallest things. It isn’t like every lock on the ladder is playing impish.

That seems like a reasonably conservative trade for my 90 second CD Recklessness.

There are plenty of times where I have ported, then get insta leaped by a warr and they continue smacking me…
just seems dumb to complain about impish in the current meta.
Instead of wanting to remove something, instead, ask why it was added in the first place and try to solve that problem first.

Ok so only one of those is I guess unavoidable, but with soulburn port it still isn’t.
Warrior leap, but if your doing it right you should be able to just round pillar for the duration of soulburn and kite out the cd’s.
Monk port is 100% a skill issue. If you see a monk put port on your port. Move your port. That simple.
Dk should never be able to grip your port since you should be positioned so you can port out of line.
There are very few situations where you port and a dh can instantly fel rush onto you. If you use the cd correctly they should generally have to use at least 2.
And you are practically immune to damage for those 6 seconds so it doesn’t even matter.
im sorry mr remi
i simply cannot side w/ you
Is the 12 second port really an issue on it’s own or is it map advantage/meta healer that empowers their toolkit to a heightened ground?
Also to consider what rating we’re focusing on and what game mode. I found when playing my lock (I play most classes at 1800 just for the mog) it’s butt-clenching the entire time, especially if it’s a melee lobby where uptime feels like it’s almost 100% despite using your kit. Also I keep hearing it’s caster meta but most of my lobbies have been heavily melee, is the caster thing up higher on the chain?
I heard remi needed hear from the true alpha warlock. First and foremost warlocks skill ceiling is higher than any other spec in the game, they are always average and middle of the pack because of the dirty melee like rogues warriors and dks. Secondly If we don’t have short cd on port then we just die because I can’t play my partners account for him at the same time and ask for peels that’s just mathematically impossible. And finally warlocks honestly should be able to two tap people with chaos bolt it’s part of the class fantasy and if you disagree your just a washed up melee player who only knows how to W key.

The caster meta thing started with balance druid before nerfs and mages actually with a lot of mobility, even other caster have some problems to catch them.
Honestly idk locks have been part of this too. But surely at low cr melee cleaves feels very oppresive and frustating for caster players and specially new players… BUT as i see on daily posts the table is turned at high rates.
I’d like to hear a warlock that plays with their keyboard plugged in share their thoughts
That’s not you
warlock has been at the top of the competitive bracket significantly more seasons than not between cataclysm and now
The game shouldn’t be balanced around bad players playing badly
short port being a crutch for awful warlocks and the awful players they get in a group with them while simultaneously making good warlocks basically immune to dying to a handful of specs is an extreme example of why that never works
It was a bandaid for a different time the same way fast clone was
The best thing about pvp talents is that we can revisit, change, or remove them once classes grow past their purpose
wireless keyboard gamers, rise up

I feel like most locks can’t fathom this talent being op because they can’t see their games being littered with their own mistakes as well as team errors
As soon as you have a teammate who grips enemy mobility or cucks it somehow the ability to deny enemy goes and create breathing room is pretty insane
Is it annoying when the enemy ww spends his entire serenity go trying to chase me down after I freedom port and gate? Yeah it’s insanely annoying but my team should be well ahead

Nobody cares about this. The freedom is what matters
This misunderstanding reflects poorly on your game knowledge
Still insane how no one complains lock can port while kicked with the talent
