Much less damage (-350/-550) but if i am not wrong the health damage will not be resisted (?). 1 sec less cs. -180 mana.
Conclusion: Still too long cs, reduction of mana is good. Damage needs to be tested to judge it (althoug imo blunt damage was good).

It's like ethereal arrow, doesn't matter if ao1, barrier etc. Much better than the old blunt damage if you ask me. Locks can now do about +2k direct damage to health, kinda scary.

Ehm whats up with all the range buffs? Its as if they reduced bow range but regret doing so smh. Well atleast they add reduction to marks movement speed. Pet reduced dmg reduction of 50%, not so sure about that

It's so that they have to invest points if they want more range. You have to give up either defense, cc or damage to get more range, which you didn't have to as much before. That's one way to balance something.

Ah i thought they intended to reduce the bow range to make this game a bit more actionpacked rather than balancing.
Cant deny that Marks with amus are still too strong.
(will prolly not take focus and/or killer instinct in my main build tho, but will test further it in a real rvr fight)

Not worth using any of those spells. Can't even afford them. Also the malus on focus would put you in sticky situations. Killer instinct is still limited to fort.

Also no range 25 bows at lvl 60? In the past we had range 25 sb's at cap lvl.

Could you explain how can locks do +2k direct damage to health. According to the version 1.18 it makes only 650 damage to health.
Sorry for my ignorance

I didn't mean with golem fist alone. Soul keeper + vamp + golem fist. Obviously SK can be stopped.

Actually in 1v1 the only way this happens is when the lock lost an important part of his health and that means you allready catched him or stayed to long discovered. In the first case it is supossed you should not let him cast spells.

Anyway the main problem with this is not the damage it does which is not so high due to dispell, protect ally and the posibility to stop the warlock with cc, but the mana drain/burn. BTW, you forgot the pure damage of magma and mana burn haha. Well, afortunately you cant set all these in 1 warlock at lvl 5.

In my opinion good damage and fragility is a good description of the objective of a good process of balance for the warlock. And this is not so high damage, and protection and defense almost intact. I find these changes satisfactory.

I'm unable to test any of these changes since my chars aren't there on Amun. :/ Can you fix it?
