123k hp dark pact on 1 min cd not counting soul leech btw
I actually think warlocks are going to be an issue in s1, but I don’t think dark pact even makes the top 5 reasons why.
Feels like their CC got better, their mobility (at least in arena) is pretty insane with double gate and port on like a 20 second CD with the honor talent, likely the tankiest caster (or even spec) in game, and for added fun, Chaos Bolt just double tapping people.
The only time Chaos Bolt is “double tapping” anyone is a fully pvp geared char using it on someone sporting fresh Lemix greens. I’ve been mostly healing the last few weeks and destro isn’t even on my radar right now as a top dangerous class.
Honestly after playing destro a bit I personally find it a very easy spec to navigate playing against. It isn’t fun though to live on a pillar with full knowledge that destro is a bait target, and I also mostly play casters, I imagine as a melee it could be a lot harder bc you are subject to enemy positioning.
are they setting their goes up correctly? Most of the time chaos bolt doesnt hit that hard, but sometimes it definitely does
Warlock is and always will be

Dark pact mean nothing vs Shield of vengeance
SOV : 30% DMG reduction + shield+ explode basically Barskin+Dark pact+ Thorn useable in stun. I saw a video Monk karma at 20% into shield of vengeance and dead. Sad when 1 min CD SOV more OP than Karma. I am surprised when nobody even complain about SOV yet. Btw, you should complain about warlock dmg and short CD port. Not Dark pact.
Lol so this is the new boogieman
And I know you dont play a ret so you have no clue but “shield of vengeance” (which in realiyy is divine protection) , is nerfed in pvp. Its a 15% 8s wall, one of the weakest out there.
^ what this guy said ^
(The post I replied to, not christtel’s latest ret defense)
this is basically in line with everyone’s pvp walls
No, not at all. Its literally the weakest wall. Plenty of classes have 20,30,40 and 50%.
Some even have “walls” on a toggle like defensive stance. It is the weakest wall. The only class with a 10% wall was ret, before it was buffed (unnerfed) to 15%.
Although I am not sure if bark is still 20, it might have been nerfed to 15% cannot remember
sources needed
ret also has 2 other full immunity buttons lol
Had an open world 1v1 with a demo lock on my dk, and we just decided to go our separate ways since neither of us were dying any time soon
You are correct! Barkskin is still 20%.
However, you can use it while stunned and it’s only a 1 minute CD AND druids have bear form, so I think it’s okay for the wall to be weaker.
Astral shift 40% 1.5m, survival instincts 50% wall 3min cd, barkskin 20% wall 1min cd, die by the sword 30% wall 100% parry 1.something cd, blur 25% wall 1 min cd two charges, ibf 1.5min cd 30% wall.
if only you also had 2 immunity buttons
You forgot Feint with Elusiveness (20% ST, 60% AoE) and Preemptive Maneuvers (extra 15% when stunned). 2 charges, 15 second cd, 6 second duration.
We are not discussing how tanky the kit is or the defensive capabilities. We were talking walls. And ret has the worst wall.
I forgot lots I know, just mentioned the ones from the classes I play. Apparently that guy didnt know plenty walls above 15% exist in the game
