Warlock meta needs to change

[Daj mi Mydło]

Its not fun fighting someone who constantly runs away draining your health despite you trying to block/dodge it and the moment you'll be close enough they'll just switch to thier halberd with 70 damage and one tap you, there's no way you can win this no matter your positioning, no matter your gear diffrence the warlock is just having a huge advantage over melee classes and its dumb as ♥♥♥♥, im out waiting for the new hotfix

It's less the Warlock meta and more the fact that Move Speed as a gear stat is inherently broken beyond belief

Also Phantomize has no business giving bonus move speed whatsoever.

Every action a character takes should reduce movement speed. Jumping, sheathing weapons, etc. Until that happens the meta is just going to be shirtless ranged classes kiting everyone.

Don't forget bunny hops negating action penalties like casting allowing people to run at full speed while still attacking (which has the most value turns out for hitscan DoTs like Warlock's).

I think its a band-aid fix because of the broken speed balance

1) okay, you're intouchable, but what's the point when your opponent can simply keep the same movespeed as you? so he just have to wait the end of phantomise to hit you again

2) there is multiple classes with bonus movespeed in their kit, fighter have a free dash skill, bard who can buff his speed with his songs (lasts for 60-90 sec, so its gonna last easily a whole PvP fight), wizard haste etc

3) warlock don't have the fastest BASE movespeed compared to other classes, so without that bonus movespeed, you're gonna get the 1) problem if not worse : people going faster than you

TL:DR movespeed balance is broken and must be fixed before changing perks/skill that affect said stats

Just remove movement speed bonuses from gear besides boots. Then balance hte movement speed of classes using a scalpel.

Don't forget jumping that negates all the animation slowdowns :/
This game is janky and broken

I was complaining about this like 20 minutes ago, I would say this game is in an almost unplayable state right now, as long as who you're fighting knows what they're doing the combat is just rock paper scissors and people justify that. "Oh I happened to run into this class, oh well". I'd also agree that it's mostly a problem with the movement speed. When DB finally drops I have a feeling no one is ever gonna touch this game again, including me.
