Dude, get off your high horse. Realize that its one thing to praise the class for its strengths, and its an entirely another thing to ignore its weaknesses. You honestly believe that anything said "wrong" about the class, implies a desire to betray. Thats where you've been wrong, over and over.

If I wanted to know whether or not I wanted to play a given class, I would want to hear more.

I'm totally ackowledging the class' weaknesses. Every class has their strengths and weaknesses. You, however, seem in complete disregard to the class' strengths over and over talking it down. That's a completely different thing.
You seem to want the warlock class to be dominant both aoe and single target which can't be happening. We aren't supposed to top assassins, rangers and wizards on that kind of content, just not gonna happen if we assume everyone has the appropriate buffs, gear and skill. We dominate area of effect content and that's how it's gonna be. I was not happy either they nerfed propagation, just suck it up and go on. Our mythical is sub-par in terms of pure dps compared to the wizard one, fine, i give you that but they're looking into it and i hope they improve it to instaure some balance. However SOE has proved over and over that the term balance can be quite a flaky thing.

I completely agree, we can't dominate both, and dominating one is more than good enough.

Maybe it's just not balance what they're aiming for. Or at least not 100% balanced classes. As you say, each class has got it's strenghs and it's weaknesses. The trick is in exploiting the strengths, while working around the weaknesses. And yet, most of what I see is people ignoring their strengths and whining about their weaknesses.

I don't have too many gripe about our class, the gripe i DO have is about the T8 Staff of Light. If they intend for mythicals to fully obtain their item quality of "mythical" there shouldn't be anything better than it... and because the new staff of light follows this concept and isn't better than mythical either they shouldn't have put it in game as a wasted avatar drop or they coulda done the same thing they did for growth staff. Make it a Symbol gdi. Tired of having a t7 contested item and t8 heroic duoable instance drop the best two options.

Sorry, just had that on my mind...

Resume with the topic of how people want their weaknesses to be almost as good as other's strengths but never want to give up their specialities to compensate.

A more valuable argument would be to focus on asking for more situations where our strengths are taken full advantage of.

I agree with Saltaf on this. Itemization sucks sooo much yuyoy ass. With the lack of warlock content in game, i see it as SoE's way of nerfing warlocks overall dps. Overking, PR, and some other encounter fights (Maiden's for instance), we rank supreme and it shows. I had a wizzy try to cast rays when i had Upheaval incomming (macro'd due to a request) and said that he didn't like his casting order interrupted. And still out parsed him by 2k. Warlocks are the best caster dps in game.

The t8 staff of light is a dps fury item, thats all there is to it.
