OK I'm tired of it with the warlocks. That class seems to get the most vehement arguments about it. I keep hearing this change is a nerf not a buff, this change is stupid, this change was great but we are more broken than before. Yet I still see warlocks doing things no other class can and topping the damage meters in both AoE and single target situations. I also see warlocks crumple like paper when one little thing goes wrong because of some of the prep issues and the balance by frustration. I see warlocks plumment in damage meters in situations where they are dealing with crowd control or runner control, more so than other classes that can do these things. So warlocks unlike any other class seem to be able to be all over the spectrum. A smoother more stable situation would seem better.
So how would you balance the warlock? Feel free to get rid of soulshards or make them stackable (give a value of how big the stacks are) or make a bag that you can stack shards in but not have them stackable in other bags (like a hunters ammo pouch bonus), though I don't see soulshards ever going away completely. I'm just curious as to how you think the class can be fixed. If you think the biggest issues are with the rest of the game say that and explain a way to fix it. If you think it's just end game that is the issue or PvP is the only issue let that be known. We've seen Blizzard act on well thought out ideas (though they do it slowly and will sometimes miss the key point but they do actually do some response to fans). If we can come to a consensus maybe we can get a unique and balanced class that can perform OK in all aspects.
I'm tired of half responses and gripes. I want to see what the lounge does well, thought out complete responses.
