So what's more important, your life or their life? You're a lock, you don't have to put up with that shit

Using soulkeeper in those situations will be hard.

In other words, they're dying too fast. So if they're dying too fast...why the hell are you dying?
You can SK a secondary target, it puts pressure on healers. Spread the dmg around. Focus fire is always effective, but spreading dmg around causes some vital pressure, and healers can't be watching everyone at once. Someone's gonna die.

There is only one spell in Necromancy better than SS and that's SK. SS is a very good spell. And locks, believe it or not, actually have pretty decent survivability, played properly. Yeah, you're a high visibility target. You run around in a dress shooting fireballs. Everyone's still sore over when you terrored them last fight, and they want to kill you really bad. I get that. But that doesn't mean you can't survive, playing well, especially after the update when people won't be able to kill anyone in the space of a single knock.

It's not supposed to be. Don't you get the point? SK is way too much sudden dmg, sudden healing, for a caster class which also has powerful nukes. It doesn't require thinking. It will now.
You don't randomly throw beetle swarms or silences around; you prioritise targets to throw those CCs on. So why should SK not be the same?
