People aren't dissapointed in the power of the subclass. They're disappointed in the lack of new features. The only new thing warlocks have is a melee.

[quote]I have seen a lot of people beimg disappointed by warlock already. But here's the thing. We don't know how it will play. We haven't play and we haven't seen it in action.[/quote] This is half true. Arc Souls and by extension, Ionic Traces aren't anything new. Arc Souls also haven't been mentioned at all for a PvE buff, and the means of empowering them clashes with their currently preferred playstyle. And based on the current track record of slide melees, the Warlock one is a complete toss-up. It'll either be decent as a utility or bad outside of memes. Also, most of the ire is aimed at Warlock losing unique stuff in it's arsenal, and that pain points that currently exists (Chaos Reach, Stormtrance, and the melees) haven't been addressed directly here. But the team designing Warlock are in an identity crisis with it, and have no idea what to do short of stripping most of the stuff that was unique to them away, putting it as default mechanics for all classes of a given element. Let's also not forget Dawnblade 3.0, which on initial release was really badly made, and patches have only applied a band-aid to that poor design, without addressing the fact that in typical Warlock fashion, Dawnblade has a really weak roaming super.

See you on the 23rd.[/quote] It's a first impression, but based on what's been presented, you're going to get a negative time with as much blatant Hunter favoritism was shown. Heck, they might as well have outright stated that Blink is only getting buffed because it's on Hunter now, as I'm pretty sure they said it wouldn't be touched for Void, back when it was yet another uniquely Warlock thing that was given to Hunter (and yes I'm aware Bladedancer had it in D1, but it was made a Warlock thing for D2).

Nope. The widespread frustration is based off the info given to us, which as far as we know, is all we'll get. Fact is it's trash, and bungo once again fu[b]c[/b]ked warlocks.

Predujuding

Players are complaining because of much we got compared to the other classes. Nobody is saying Stormcaller is going to be weak.

I can safely say I've never predujuded anything in my life.

I agree. I'm trying my best not to say anything about how obviously awesome the new Hunter super is going to be until I use it.

Warlock…. I’m guaranteed to triple jump to death during a strike

Youre right nerfing key abilities on a subclass thats rarely used and giving it useless things in return is no reason to speculate that a bad subclass will be worse. That only happened with solar 3.0 but that was so long ago
