I am in the beta as well. Warlock damage is absolutely through the roof.
There's also a 30% movement penalty at the end of fear.. wtf were the devs thinking.
Oh well, it's not bad having a few op talents

For what i've heard, warlocks are teh total rubbish now.
Yeah that's what I heard myself too, but I have no complaints.
I don't really know what these warlocks are whining about.
I duelled a Rogue on PTR who had S3 shoulders S4 weapons so was pretty skilled and I just owned him. WITHOUT Soul link, mind you.
It's obviously because I am super skilled, but more because of instant howl of terror and death coil.
We now have that extra getaway warlocks needed against Rogues. You're guaranteed a good fear against a Rogue in a duel. In a good fear the fight is just over.
I can land Haunt + UA + Immo + Corr + coa + Siphon life in the fear and the damage is just too much.
And the cherry on top of the cake: Mortal Strike on HoT effects through the new Shadow Embrace.
Whatever these devs are smoking, I want in on it!
The times of druids outhealing dots with just a lifebloom or two are over.
The bad thing is that it requires shadowbolt to apply SE now. But with glyphs nightfall proccrate will be 12%, more than enough to keep up SE on pretty much every target.
I really don't understand what these warlocks are whining about. They´re probably PvE or something, I don´t know.
Warlock changes look extremely promising. Even if Affliction turns out to not scale as well as it does right now I could still go Demonology and play heavy burst teams.
600% increased armor, get to keep my pet and _40%_ more damage.
Less duration on snares, a Farking charge, instant immolates. Warlocks are not going to be bad.
The 5 min cd sucks. But for +40% dmg it's more than justified.
Actually, if this Metamorphosis talent reaches live I'd piss myself laughing. +40% dmg for 45 seconds.
If that doesn't win me fights nothing will.
