I found this after listening to the latest Guardian Radio Podcast in which they discussed this. I have to agree that the Warlock class item pales in comparison to the Titan waist band and the Hunter cloak. Not only is it small and barely noticeable in game, but it doesn't fit in with the theme of the class items.
The Titan's waist band is reminiscent of the sash or girdle that was part of an ancient warriors battle garment. They were usually adorned with totems or relics of past battles and skirmishes. The cloak is the symbol of the traveler or wanderer and seems to fit in well with the idea of the Hunter.
But, the armband just doesn't seem a fitting representation of the Warlock. Some sort of vambrace or a sash worn horizontally across the chest (or around the neck like a scarf) seems to fit in better with the theme of these unique items.
I think that no matter what, this will be an amazing game. It has already captured my imagination and excitement, but little details like this will only further solidify this as one of the most amazing worlds ever created and a benchmark for games to come.
