Gee, I wonder if any of the Devs main Warlock. Couldn't be!

[Goobs]

Looking over the patch notes i have to ask. Do you play your own game? What is going on here? Seriously. In high roller a Warlock with only greens can finesse someone in BIS. Did you take that into account when making these patch notes? I feel like this game is being ruined with how out of touch this is. What was the reasoning behind these changes? And the nerfs for barbarian make absolutely zero sense. This doesn't feel balanced. This feels like deliberate sabotage, actually. Make it make sense.

Bard was actually a favored class by one of the devs, warlock is a streamer class

[Goobs]

I literally just went into the dungeon and a warlock pulled out a sword with demon form and killed me. The downsides of him turning into a demon and using a sword? None. He gets to do it for FREE.
This isn't balanced and everyone knows it.

[RoosterSuplex]

it looks good on stream, now its a little harder on barb to ruin the streamers day.

[Goobs]

So they're just making a broken class for streamers to get kids interested in the game?

[RoosterSuplex]

standard procedure

[RoosterSuplex]

this is why discord mods ban you for speaking on balance in game, it destroys their meta

Good god... I would get a refund right now if I could. This is some scummy ♥♥♥♥.

You actually believe this guy? Geez you're gullible.

Have they given a real reason Warlock is this broken now suddenly? I know it's beta but whatever justification I've heard sounds like cope. And the barb nerf. Think about that for a second. Why? What need was there for that? There wasn't, dude.

Apart from the whole bleeding to death for every second its activated thing.

[thegodsend]

anything with gear will never be balanced.

No class in the game heals as well as Warlock. Not even cleric, the healer class. And the kicker? Warlock can chase you down while dealing crazy damage. Everyone knows it's broken, dude.

Its Early Access bro. No need to act like this is the only and final patch or balance change that the game will receive. Did you stop to think that maybe what we got wasn't what they actually intended? These things happen. Its a normal part of building a game in this way.

If it upsets you too much you can just put the game down and come back after another update. The game is not ruined, it will continue to evolve. Thats not cope, thats called common sense.

[Goobs]

Definitely not touching the game until they fix the broken Warlock meta. That's for sure. The question is still valid, and you certainly haven't been able to come up with a real answer either, why is Warlock so broken? If they didn't bother to playtest it beforehand, then that would have made sense.
That's where we are right now. The Warlock mains are coming out of the woodworks to defend it, though. I wonder why they would do that? Spare me.

Are you able to provide any examples?
Because I watch streamers playing DaD daily, and the general opinion of the popular ones, is that warlock is kinda lame and they avoid playing it.
