Hey all,
As a beta tester, I have to say that the Lock feels lacklustre at best... Nothing has really changed since WOTLK for us except for a few fluff spells, a change to Shards (the best of which was then nerfed.. Soul Fire), Hand of Guldam (no need for this.. one of the other nukes would be just as good had it been implemented correctly) and that fucking ridiculous Ice Lance wannabe that crits for 4k.
Ive played Lock since Launch, and the lock is the only thing that keeps me playing.
The level of erosion of the class really makes me debate stepping into Cata at all.
Maybe I am missing the point of the class completely in Cata, or maybe I just need to stop playing WOW.
Anyhoo, just a thought from a long time player.
PS, I know its beta. But we have a long list of nerfs IN beta, where most other classes get buffs. Count the buffs to nerfs in the latest patch per class. We win (lose more like) hands down.
