The Warlock Nerf

[Garbannoch]

What you think about it?

Personally I think they are in-line now. They shouldn't have access to banelord but damage-wise I think they are fine.

Got hit couple of times on my bainshee yesterday - the top lifetap hits for 350ish on yellow casted resists. The dot is still very good (amount of ticks should be shortened by 2) but it's not an I-Win anymore.

I have always been cautious about attacking warlocks with my scout. I had a go at a few pre-1.75 but never managed to kill them in a 1 on 1.

I had a go at one yesterday, just to see what a nerfed warlock was like, managed to kill it before it got any chambers off though

From what I hear though the nerf is as you say; brings them back into line and means (hopefully) that my scout and other tanks/rogues might not insta-die to them anymore.

easy kill now

 

[Bracken]

About right now I reckon. Now, just banshee cone to sort out

Incidentally, what's with all the jump casting now? Last night it was like every man and his dog was at it. Always been a few who try it, but it was like fighting rows of deformed bunnies at Behn and Nottmoor

Edit: Guess it's something to do with this https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=64894

easy kill now

And still easy to kill with a WL.
1 vs. 1 WLs will still win the most fights. Even 2 vs. a WL. What we can’t do now is to sneak in and take out 1 or 2 from a FG and get away with it.
WLs needed the nerf and its nice to hear you ppl are satisfied while the WL is still fun to play.

 

[Bracken]

Hmmm, in that case...nerf warlocks!

 

[Dukat]

Pfft I wouldnt believe that till I see it in writing tbh!

 

[Flimgoblin]

they're still overpowered just not quite so obscenely now, just down to every day overpowered and not nearly as frustating to fight against.

 

[Jaem-]

Not been out since patch, but will I surive a champer dump with 22% matter and 1951hp now?

 

[Knolan]

i met quite a few WL's at fensalir last night, and i must say im pleased.

 

[ebenezer]

i was rvring all day/evening yesterday and fought warlocs here and there.
Died a couple of times but also killed some, which was uncommon
So i would say its much better
They are still tough oponents but thats fine with me, lots of other classes thats hard to face as well.

Glad most people are happy, still major fun to play the char, just a little more pow usage to kill heavy tanks, ill be still continuing to play my warlock. Now just the bainshee thru the wall shoot bug to be sorted.

 

[Umgrud]

lol .... still can kill in two hit with my rr6 lock 1 chamber hits for about 700dmg ish without crits

 

[Nul]

I respecced my WL yesterday. I specced: 4 curse - 28 WC - 46 hex.
I like 28 WC to be able to rather fast nuke using powerless primer.
DPS is far below most other casters now. Hitting for ~350 each ~2.5s.
Compared to other casters that do ~500 each ~1.2s.
Did a short test on my BB only. Hes has 29% matter resist.
Some figures may be wrong. Anyone specced diffrent?

 

[Surprising Death]

Warlocks is imo completely screwed, they do lower dmg than other casters, and cast slower, or using all power in 4 nukes

 

[Bigbrother]

now

now its the time for the sorc nerf and those f... bolt dmg

Is it smart to roll one then? I mean, people knew what was comming

Btw i experience the sorc nerf aswell, to be a great change. Meet a rr6 sorc 1on1 on my r4l4 bm yesterday, and i just charged him and twatted.. First time that have worked as they allways would pop rr5+moc. So imho mythic did a pretty good job this time. Altho that target bug kinda suck, but lets see if they fix it.

1875 AE mez..

 

[Bracken]

1875 AE mez..

Insta+speed5 > sorc range

RR5+moc change is all that sorcs really needed. I'd say the last thing that needs sorting is the Banshee cone and the major annoyances are pretty much done with.

They should be nerfed beyound what they did to sb's,but they better now.

 

[Gibbo]

Why do nerf threads regardless of class turn into a nerf Sorcerers thread?

Only experience of a Warlock last night was be insta killed by one. I have 1500 hits and 24% matter resist btw.

moc+soi fix is 1.76, hopefully GoA will be delayed in releasing this patch

 

[Akyma]

well, i done few 1 chamber kill today, also, 1 chamber 1 nuke caster dead, same with crit 1 tank dead, I got m0m 3, wp 3, aug acuity 2 atm and work mice, (mom 4 soon ;p)
Cant now, but later i post few SSs with old and new dmgs and where i see the wl is fucked now.

 

[trycorn]

erm... i thought sorc nerf is in 1.76

it is, i killed a few tank's last night with rr5+moc

 

[Beltorak]

Nerf WLs even more Give em 4 sec between Chambers and 1000 range on Chambered spells unless the load a range first Havent meet a WL after patch though...

You cant load primers into chambers, so no range spell, only one you can use for range is the bolt for 43 hex spec. The damage aint that bad the dot hits for about 170 a tick now on average, and a LT hits for around 500 sometimes more sometimes less. What i have noticed is the resist rate has gone through the roof, im 50 hex and got mof1 and the amount of time a unit and a lvl 49 lt resists is silly.

Very much a one trick pony now, 50 hex 20 wc has a slow powerless so in fg situation is pretty slow but it gets you by, most of the time your just a secondary healer (depending how many you got in your grp), or just nearsighting casters with powerless casts, 4 uniterutables isnt a lot really, basically the nerf is what people want which is the damage reduction, but maybe something needs to be corrected with sustained dps because most of the time your fighting with no 0% power due to using units, maybe im just too trigger happy.
