I know it's not in anyway a perfect test, but what you need to remember is that you can boost Duel Shot's damage. Arcane Missile's, however, you cannot.

Thanks Matt for your time in testing.... I've already done this....
now take this into fact...
mages have tons of other attack skills/heal skills.... 600 / 1000+ damage low cooldowns...
hunters do not...
mages can buff a 1000 damage prevention barrier...
hunters cannot...
With the new dual shot its going to take me more than 30 seconds to kill a mage... 1vs1 .. Now imagine in fort war with heals buffs barriers it will be damn near impossible. And those same mages can suck 1000 + 400/600 of my life and feed that into their own. How is that balanced? They can rain down skill after skill on me meteor/ivy/stalagmite/magmabast/terror/golemfist/steal my mana/and arcane missle between each skill cast... they do not need to boost damage... but they still can with onslaught.
little example...
MAGE
meteor 700
arcane missle 400
lightning 1200
arcane misse 400
golem fist 1000
arcane missle 400
meteor 700
arcane missle 400
fireball 600
arcane missle 400
its infinate man... high damage constant....
Archer cannot do this.. dual shot is not overpowered....
Archer
Basic 200
dual shot 430
basic 200
ensnare 450
basic 200
tear apart 720 (over 30 seconds)
baic shot 200
dual shot 430
<and pet hunters have less than the above listed>
how do they two compare? how does the new 7 second cooldown make dual shot as powerful as the other classes that have a similar cooldown but more damage and more attack skills? It does not... my point exactly. My other posts got deleted by the forum SS.
<Raises a red flag>
END OF STORY
There is no point in continuing this banter... I have a lvl 50 warlock same as you. Warlock can kill 5 people for every 1 a hunter can...
I stopped playing warlock because to me it was overpowered... No one could kill me and it was boring. I DID NOT EVEN USE METEOR or TERROR
