hmm wonder how this will work in 8v8 combat if u get what i mean, was the pause thing him preparing the spell or did the mythic guys like pause it so he could talk? (the balls still rotated) if its him preparing the spells wont it take too long in combat? obviously its overpowered, specially if they get lifetap, prepare 3-4 lifetaps and walk out, nuke some 1, then fire off ur lifetap every 2 seconds :p but hopefully they wont, or if they do the lifetap wont b able 2 b 1 of those glowy balls (4second BDer lifetaps gay, 2 second warlock lifetap? hmmmm :D) :S <see's a nerf coming for a class that isnt even out yet?> any hoo

but lets say jumping a warlocks not gunna b as fun as jumping a runie :p:D

I wouldn't be surprised if this class is going to get nerfed to hell and back. Have two warlocks in your group, have each of them go to town on a healer.. meh.

Nice idea - a caster who can front-load. Will be dead-meat once those saved spells have gone though :)

cant realy see this class being a new savage/BD fotm class(thank god) due to the fact that once it has fired off its 5 spells in the 10second cap... its shaged, because i doubt hes gonna have time to stand around for 20secs preparing new spells.

Oh well, maybe im wrong, cant realy see much until you actualy play it.

"eheh, this class is gonna be so overpowered man". "yeah dude". - Could only be american tbh.

They can cast spells normally they just take double the casting time. Although they get a free secondary effect with it.

What u saw there if i understand correctly is spells that he can "pre load", in total it can be 5 spells i believe.
Which is instacast/fast cast once used.

in addidon to that warlock will be able to weave spells and combine 2 spells at the same time and by doing that will be able to get em combined at scoutrange+, TOA items excluded in that ofc, thus toa +range and +casting speed will do wonders.

I am not so shure theywill be very gimp.
They will have longer cast time shure, but with acces to kobold/frostalf high dex, removel of MoTa cross all realms it might be a interesting addition indeed.

that was cast speed only using a staff, no buffs, no RAs and no ToA bonuses

I don't like the idea of a caster I can't interrupt. Worried that this will be another Bonedancer.

Btw, it's only when you hear a shrill American yell, 'Isn't that going to be overpowered?' that you realise just how geeky this game is.

no.. we all heard it, and i guess those events where they show off the things attracts the realy geeky ones playing, and not the larger base who is quite normal people strangly enough :)

That movie showed fuck all, even if it be warlock skills, the char was completely naked, and god knows if they even properly sorted/opted the class.

I don't think you can really draw conclusions from a movie that's being played by a Dev that doesn't even know how to play his own class. (seeing him messing around with the mouse is just funny)

And tbh, those ball indicators; "Hey mates, I'm a warlock, zerg me fast!" is worse than wearing a HE cloak as a 50 Rejuv cleric if the warlock ends up being overpowered.

People sure as hell will target/take it down 1st thing :p

Doesn't look too bad to me - once you blow your instas, you're left casting normally, not as silly as a BD which can go on tapping till he runs out of power.
