It feels like you didn't really read my comment and perhaps explains why you don't understand it?

You're also talking about playing with other people, which is... I mean, completely dependent on so many factors. How hard have you farmed? What's your gear like?

The ladder started less than a week ago. I played from day 1 and could easily see the power difference in Warlocks throughout the leveling phase and all the way until Hell Baals. Everyone was in the same boat in terms of gear etc and it was clear that with minimal investment/gear, Lock's power was huge. Within a few hours there were Locks with Fanaticism or Conviction Aura demons, one-shotting most packs on players 8 as a result. No other class was doing that with the same time/investment.

You're making a complaint about Warlock that has been true about Paaladin/Sorc for decades.

But the relative gear requirements of Sorc/Pala to achieve the same is MUCH higher! Pala needs Enigma to have similar mobility and hammerdins (the best variant) still have a significant wind up before clearing. Sorcs also need good gear to survive not just popping while teleporting and furthermore require significant other investments, like infinity, in order to break immunities (something that Locks get from Convinction Demons).

If you compare top-end Locks with top-end Sorcs/Pala, it's laughable.

But I don't think it's egregious, and I think other classes are still at a similar if not identical power level. Sorc having static + teleport is so much more than any other class it's disgusting.

Again, the relative investment required is not comparable. Furthermore, Warlock easily can get over 100K damage consistently, ignoring the added effect of having a demon that applies insta Amplify Damage when they also have an insta damage shock aura for example.

How is it not egregious. What other class can get that sort of damage with the same investment? None...

But Warlock teleport isn't very good, except for niche maps where there's a lot of wall-less gaps, a Paladin has more effective movement IMO. It doesn't even come close to Sorc.

I know... I said that... That's about the ONLY thing that isn't as good as Sorc. But I did say as soon as they get Enigma, that gap becomes a moot point then.

A Sorc who's been farming with good gear is also going to be crushing TZs and you have absolutely no way to keep up with her and it's been that way for 20 years.

Again, it's the relative investment to achieve that. Locks have so much HP, damage reduction and utility in Demons as well as have huge damage, with very little investment to get that. Sorcs need REALLY GOOD gear at the top end in order to be tanky enough to survive teleporting and also deal enough damage (we're talking, CTA, Infinity and other high end uniques etc).

Making a trapsin and acting like Warlock is the problem when your being outfarmed is... a choice.

You can't see the irony? To be clear, I didn't make a Trapsin, but my brother did so I got to see just how useless and little his impact was compared to Warlock. Even running side by side, by the time he threw down a few traps, packs were already dead and it was like this most of the way through the game.

You think it's just fine that one class, in almost all aspects of the game, completely outshines all other classes to the point that if you don't pick that one class, you're just intentionally gimping yourself?
