    And that you add you are not in the beta..um thanks for your honesty, but doesn't that make it second or third hand information you base your goodbye on? Maybe a mistake?
    Here I was thinking blue posts came straight from the source and thus could be considdered firsthand information. You sure proved me wrong.

    Oh, you should know that if I would have access to beta forums, my criticism would be a LOT more constructive, becouse I know for a fact that devs actually read those forums and actually listen to the posts made there. Here, I prefer QQ'ing along with the rest of the locks that feel the same as I do.

    I think everyone misunderstood the wording on fel armor and shadow embrace, go see the skill description.

    Re: Nerf bat hurts

    Looks to me like ranks 3-5 of SE are still bugged and not displaying any value other than zero. That said, it's still a nerf, just not quite as bad as everyone thinks.

    Some of these changes, I just fail to see as necessary. Particularly the DP/Fel Armor/CoEX ones. In regards to DP/Fel Armor, if one was making the other obsolete...why nerf both of them hard? And unless there's something I'm missing, one of the most melee vulnerable classes, even now with the teleport, just got a nerf against...melee. o.O

    Death's Embrace now seems extremely lackluster for something that only becomes active below 20% of your target's health, but it might be just right. I've yet to see roughly what a Naxx-10 or Naxx-25 geared Lock comes up with for crit %. If it's high as is, who knows, the old 15% could have been over the top (but I doubt it).

    Ultimately, it sucks that we took a lot of nerfs, but honestly, the only ones imo who have a right to complain are the PvPers. Everyone else took it equally hard in the ass with the nerf fornication rod. Also, if you suddenly reroll your class or quit the game because of your class, along with MANY classes, getting nerfed in one beta patch after getting tons of awesome shit, go die in a fire, seems like FotM rollers anyway.

    For now, I'll keep watching and seeing how things progress. Nothing is live yet, it's not going live tomorrow, and we don't know what's ahead other than what we've been told. Doing anything other than giving feedback and waiting for the next patch, and the patch after, and it going live, is all we can do. Blizz isn't going to intentionally destroy the class THEY made, they aren't out to fuck you over and make you miserable, they aren't out to make swimming pools out of money and torture you by going ''nah, lets just ignore wow and try to make it go down the tube.'' Quit the bitching and nonsense claims that you're gonna quit when A) Nobody on MMO-Champ has anything to do with Blizzard, B) Nobody cares, even if you were to tell that to Blizz and C) If you were gonna quit, you would have done it one of the last 40 times you saw something you didn't like and made the same claim.

    here are my thought for anyone who cares or doesnt care :P

    1) They are still balancing so i wont get too mad yet

    2) W .... T .... F.... are you thinking blizzard with shadow embrace. If in fact it is only 2 points get rid of the stupid reduction on HoTs effect and boost the damage. For one the "MS" effect needs to be stacked using spells that are sometimes difficult to cast in arena and second even with 2 stacks it SUCKS.

    Life Tapping is what makes a warlock a warlock, in Blizzard's eyes. With the previous spirit regen and 200% dark pact, I imagine there was little tapping going on.

    The difference is this time around there's a very promising game about to be released wich could be a worthy successor to WoW, AND lots of people I know will be quitting wow for it as well.

    If WAR turns out to be rubbish, wich I highly doubt, I'll probably come back to WoW, yes, but chances that I'll be playing my warlock then are incredibly slim.

    Have fun i beta tested warhammer.... its a lot of fluff and ohs and ahs then you get to the buggy crappy end game of pvp boredom

    As much as a hate to admit it, blizzard is the best there is at updating their MMO, keeping the MAJORITY (cant please everyone) happy, and bringing in new customers

    I mean hell... ever see how many ppl STILL played diablo1 years after diablo2 was released

    Blizzard is $$ and as much as i get pissed sometimes at changes the grass is deader on the other side of the fence

    I'd rather not Life Tap tbh. I only want to use it in emergencies.
    It lowers dps way too much to be an effective way to regenerate mana.

    It's buffed for PvP only. If you are raiding, soloing, ignore it.
    Actually, this isn't a buff at all. It's an un-nerf.

    Its like if Blizzard suddenly said to Locks that they don't get Haunt, Metamorphosis now just changes your art and gives you 30% more armor and that's it, and that your dot critting talent increases damage by 3%.

    Oh and all your 10/15% talents are now 2/3%.

    Randomly, for no given reason.
    they can have metamorphasis... id be happy
    they changed our art
    we got less armor and less soullink
    our dot critting talent will prob increase our dps by 3%

    oh and most of our 10/15% talents were nerfed

    damn you are right on for spriests AND for locks

    Yea but Spriests got hit a lot harder, they NEEDED those things to be viable in anything and they got taken away.

    Ignore me though, I need to read more, thought this was a completely different thread xD
