As Bolty predicted out loud multiple times and I suspected more privately, Blizzard again took a weak class, in this case the warlock, and boosted it all out of proportion. The warlock will for a few weeks at least be the godly class in the game until the inevitable nerfs come along. I experimented with a warlock friend and it's just insane what they can do now. AoE stun effects, create an off-hand item (bind-on pickup) that let the warlock clear all magic debuffs and absorb 600 magic damage, create an off-hand item that boosts their melee damage significantsly, a new pyroblast-like 6-second cast spell that when boosted by talents can deal 2k crit damage, a bunch of improvements to fear, some improvements to pets, wild overpowered curses... Oh, man, the damage and the crowd control that warlocks are going to be able to deliver for a few weeks will be insane. They will certainly be the kings of PvP until the nerfs come along. Enjoy while you can, warlocks!
